Preparation

In a bowl, mix the 2 eggs with half the sugar, add the dissolved yeast, the melted butter and the warm Sterilgarda microfiltered whole milk, finally add half the flour. Mix well and let rise for a quarter of an hour, covering the bowl. We recommend using a planetary mixer.
Combine all the remaining ingredients – except the almonds and colored sugar – and knead for a few minutes. Cover the bowl, leaving the dough to rise for at least a couple of hours.
After the time has elapsed, remove the dough from the bowl, turning it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 6 loaves, work them with your hands to obtain 6 tubular shapes.
Weave the tubes together to create a soft braid that you will then join at the ends, if necessary wetting with a little Sterilgarda microfiltered whole milk or water, forming a sort of donut.
Place the 3 doughnuts obtained on a baking tray lined with baking paper, to rise for another 45 minutes in a warm oven turned off.
Heat the oven to 180°, brush the surface of the braids with the remaining egg and cover them with the colored sugar granules.
Cook for at least 30 minutes; once baked, leave to cool and insert the sugar-colored eggs in the center.
Accompany with a glass of Sterilgarda fresh blond orange juice.
