Chalka - Polish Easter Bread Recipe


By Jenny's Cookbook (Visit website)



For the past few days I just felt like working with dough, so in preparation for Easter, I made 3 different kinds of Easter Bread and Pierogies. My mom made cabbage rolls but I didn't get a picture of them when they were finished so you'll have to wait until after Easter for that recipe.



This recipe for Polish Chalka worked out really well. I used a combination of raisins and chopped dried apricots but you can use 1 cup of dried fruits of your choice. The original recipe called for golden raisins, but I didn't have any.



Here's the dough after the first rising.


To make braids, divide the dough in 3 sections, then make ropes then braid. Tuck the ends under.


If you make your ropes long enough, you can bring the ends of your braid together to form a wreath. Reserve 1/4 of the dough to make eggs and a bow. Add food colouring to the beaten egg to add colour before baking.


Here's just a simple braid.


The finished product. I got both of these out of one recipe. Multiply the recipe for more loaves.
