Note
If you want to not only bake Easter cakes, but also decorate them according to all the rules, then while the bread maker is working, you can cook the icing. Colored coconut should be bought in advance.
For glaze: beat one whisk (with a whisk or mixer) (pre-cool!) With a tablespoon (with a hill) of icing sugar. And when you get the cake from the bread machine, you need to grease its hot top with icing and sprinkle with chips.
In general, you can bake not only white but also black
bread in the bread maker - usually this function is also provided in the device. It is called "grain bread." The product is being prepared not from wheat flour, but from rye. As a liquid, water or serum is used. The composition and quantity of products are usually indicated in the attached recipes. Caraway seeds and peeled
sunflower seeds are added to the dough if desired
. You can trace when the batch is over and the loaf is formed, and sprinkle the top crust with seeds or sesame seeds, caraway seeds.
