Recipe Information

Cooking method: baking in the oven.

Total cooking time: 2.5 h

Number of servings: 1 .

Ingredients for the dough:

water – 270 ml
salt – 1 tsp.
sugar – 1 tsp.
vegetable oil – 2 tsp.
flour – 450 g
dry yeast – 1 tsp.

Preparing the dough

Dissolve salt and sugar in a little warm water, add vegetable oil and flour mixed with yeast. Knead the dough and knead it until it begins to stick to the sides of the pan. There is no need to add additional flour. I added all the ingredients to the bread machine and kneaded the dough on a special mode. Technology helps a lot.
Leave the dough to rise under the film or towel until it has increased in volume by 3-4 times. The dough will rise better in a warm place. You can place the bowl of dough in a pan of warm water.
Basket formation.
Knead the finished dough, place it on a well-floured table, and make a smooth “bun” out of it.
Divide it into several parts.
Place a third of the dough under a towel, and roll out the rest into long strips about a centimeter thick. Cut the rolled strips into thin strips, which will later become the “rods” of the basket. Try to ensure that the stripes are even and neat, of the same width, then the basket will turn out more beautiful.
Take a metal bowl of suitable size (metal colander, saucepan, cauldron), wrap it in foil and place the base of the basket with 6-8 strips of dough intersecting in the center.
Now braid the basket, starting from the bottom to the bottom (passing a strip of dough in turn under every second strip of base).
The free edges of the center strips can be trimmed or folded over.
Press the center of the basket well so that it is level. For this purpose, at the beginning of baking the basket, you can place a heavy plate or a wide cup of water on top.
To ensure the dough browns well, grease the entire surface sweet water.
Place the basket in hot oven bake at 180 degrees C.
After some baking time, the basket will harden sufficiently.
Remove it from the foil and change the position in the oven several times so that all parts are browned equally.
Take our product out of the oven.
That's how delicious and beautiful it looks. My hands are just reaching out to break off the ruddy side and eat it. But let's be patient. We have the final part of the work ahead of us - making a handle for the basket so that it takes on a finished look.
Weave two braids from the remaining dough - for the edge of the basket and for the handle. Place one braid along the edge of the basket, brush with sweet water.
And put the basket in the oven now with the bottom down.
This is how it should turn out.
Place the braid for the handle on an inverted bowl covered with foil, also grease it with sweet water using a silicone brush and place it in the oven.
When it's browned on top, change position.
Attach the handle to the finished basket, pinning it with toothpicks.
That's all - a beautiful and completely edible basket is ready.
You can decorate it, fill it with Easter attributes and place it in a place of honor in the house.

Note to the owner:

The dough basket will turn out more ruddy and shiny if you grease it with the mixture egg yolk, water and sugar in a ratio of 1:1:1.
