So glad you enjoyed! It will keep for a couple of days, possibly longer, kept at a cool room temperature in bread basket or wrapped.

It's easier than you might think, and this dough is pretty easy to handle. Hope you'll give it a try!

This bread looks beautiful! I am hesitant to make something so pretty, but I love your video! Maybe there’s hope for me. 🙂

This bread looks fantastic. I love challah and brioche, so I know I'd love the texture, and the flavor sounds so lovely. I've never heard of mahleb and mastic, so I'm intrigued and well get some to try them out. Thanks for the introduction.

Oh dear, I know it can be a bit tricky at times. I have taken to using my oven for rises (turned on low for a minute then off before putting in to be gently warm) which seems to be working not too badly. Hope you might give it a try!

Thanks Ellen, it is wonderfully soft and has a nicely aromatic flavor. We loved it.

Thanks Wendy, I love those specks too, shame you don't see them in the finished bread but I do love the color of the cooked loaf as well.

I do wonder who decided to try cooking with it! But it does add a nice distinct flavor. As I say if you can't find both, or don't won't to fork out for two new spices, then mahleb is the one I'd go for. Hope you give this a try!

We have a large Greek community nearby and I've seen it in bakeries but never tried it. I need to make this.

I love the specks of orange zest visible in the unbaked loaf. I can almost smell that loaf baking. YUM

I have never used mastic in cooking. It looks very much like frankincense and myrrh resins, however, which I have used as a raw burnt incense on coals before during the holidays. I never realized any of those could be used in cooking. It does make sense for the Easter bread though, since those type resins have been used "religiously" for centuries, especially in regards to Christianity. I'll have to grab some if I see it around and give this a try.
