Combine milk with water. Separately, in a glass bowl, mix 2 tbsp. l water with milk, add yeast and leave for a few minutes. Beat one egg, add water with milk, olive oil, salt and sugar.

Basket weaving

2:1155

This type of weaving is used to decorate the Easter table. We take the dough elastic, tight, not sticking to the knife.

2:1371

Roll out part of the dough into a layer approximately 0.6 cm thick, then cut it into ribbons (strips) 1.5-2 cm wide.

You should use a heat-resistant glass dish or cake pan as the braiding pan. And before you start applying the dough, you need to wrap it in foil.

3:820

Apply the resulting strips evenly to the mold, connecting at the top. On average, there are 14-15 flagella per form. Now you need to put something heavy and round on top of the bundles to make the bottom.

3:1180 3:1185

4:1689 4:257

In a separate bowl, mix one egg, a tablespoon of milk and a little olive oil. Lubricate the entire dough basket with this mixture.

4:502 4:507

Place the basket on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper in the oven, preheated to 180-190 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes. The dough should take on a golden brownish appearance.

4:850 4:855

5:1359 5:1364

When you remove the basket from the oven and remove it from the baking sheet, there will be a mark of dough and utensils on the paper. You should make a braid of the same size along it. This will be the edging of our basket.

5:1715 5:4

6:508 6:513

To make a handle you will need wire. We measure the required length, wrap the wire with foil, and wrap the dough on top. Or bake the braid on some kind of round pan

6:817 6:822

7:1326 7:1331

We don’t wait for the dough to rise, but immediately put it in the oven. We attach the finished edging with toothpicks, and insert the handle in the same way.

The basket is ready! Now you can decorate it with a napkin, ribbons and put Easter cakes and other Easter treats in it.

I already have a dough basket ready for Easter. I suggest you bake one too, so to speak, make it yourself. It's not very difficult to do, but you'll have to play around. This is an excellent alternative to wicker analogues, in which you can collect everything you need to take to church.

This is the second Easter basket I've baked. Last year I made yeast-free unleavened. It was beautiful, stable, but not tasty. It was just decor.

This year I decided to make an edible basket, which can then be eaten instead of bread (my child can’t wait until this moment). The main thing is to handle it carefully and not get it dirty. To do this, it needs to be placed on a tray and transported in this form to the church.

I suggest you bake one too. I think it turned out cute and with soul.

Ingredients

• 300 ml milk (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg
• 4-4.5 cups wheat flour
• 2 tsp dry instant yeast
• 6-8 tbsp. Sahara
• a pinch of salt
• 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 egg for brushing

Easter basket made from dough: recipe with photos step by step

1. First you need to prepare a rich yeast dough. Mix warm milk, egg, salt and sugar, flour and dry yeast. We get a soft dough, which we leave to rest for 1.5 hours. We go about our business, but don’t forget to prepare a roll of foil and find a suitable form on which to bake our Easter basket of dough for Easter.
2. When everything is ready, you may wonder how to make a basket from the dough. First, wrap a mold, a fireproof plate, a saucepan or a frying pan without a handle with foil. It all depends on what shape you want the basket to be and what size (if it's too big, there may not be enough dough, so you'll need to knead two portions).
   
3. Roll out the flatbread to a thickness of 0.5 cm, cut it into strips about 1.5 cm wide.
   
4. Lay out the strips overlapping each other on the mold. We get a wicker basket. In the end, a piece of dough should remain. We will need it a little later for decoration.
   
5. Mix the egg with a spoon of sugar.
   
6. Lubricate the wicker structure.
   
7. I'm telling you how to bake a dough basket. Place it in the oven and bake at 180 degrees. When it is almost baked, but not yet browned, you can place a heavy plate on the bottom so that the basket is stable later. To make it easier to remove the plate, it is better to wrap it in foil. You can miss this moment and bake it with a rounded bottom. This has a slight effect on stability and depends more on what kind of base you choose for the basket.
   
8. When the Easter basket is ready, let it cool. We measure the circumference of the edge and braid a pigtail of that length. Brush with egg wash and bake on foil until golden.
   
9. Using toothpicks, place the still warm braid onto the edge of the basket.
   
10. You can also bake the handle in the same pan on which the basket itself was baked, but from yeast dough it turns out either strong but rough, or thin and beautiful, but does not hold up at all (sags and breaks). So this time I will have an open option. But last year’s version came with a handle, since it was unleavened and without yeast and in a couple of hours it completely dried out into a cracker. She behaved well.
    

Meanwhile, I had already packed my basket and was ready to go to church.

Happy upcoming holiday, dear readers!

Many people remember “Korzinki” cakes from childhood. In Soviet times, they were sold in all cafes. They were decorated in the form of mushrooms, flowers, strawberries or even chicken. How delicious they were... The shortbread baskets simply melted in your mouth. And he was very gentle. We would like to bring to your attention a recipe for making such cakes at home. The process is not too labor-intensive, and such a treat will bring a lot of joy to the children. So...

Dough for baskets

To prepare the dough for the baskets, we need to stock up on the following products:

1. Butter - 150 g.
2. Sugar - 100 g.
3. Vanilla sugar - 10 g.
4. One egg.
5. Sour cream - 1 tablespoon.
6. Flour - 250 grams.
7. Baking powder - one teaspoon.
8. Metal molds.

So, let's start making the dough for the baskets. To do this, beat sugar with butter and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Then add sour cream and egg, mix well.

It is better to sift the flour and then add it to the mixture. Mix. But you shouldn’t knead it for a long time, because it doesn’t like it. Baskets are a delicate cake, and therefore the “cups” should be crumbly. Wrap the resulting mass in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for about one hour. After some time, we take out the dough and, cutting off a small part of it, roll it into a sausage. Cut it into pieces, each of which needs to be rolled out into a thin flat cake. The size should be approximately the same as the diameter of the baking pan. Each such circle must be placed in a mold, pressed firmly against the walls and bottom. The bottom part can be pricked with a fork so that the basket does not become deformed during baking. We would like to warn you that the dough turns out to be very sticky, and therefore you will have to use flour. Here are our sand baskets and they are ready. All that remains is to bake them.

Place the molds with the dough on a baking sheet and put them in the oven. It is better to bake at a temperature of 200 degrees. Seven minutes is enough. Baskets are delicate cakes, they cook quite quickly, so be careful not to overcook them in the oven.

Now you can proceed to preparing the cream.

Cream ingredients

As you know, baskets are cakes with cream, although today there are many ways to decorate them: with fruits under jelly, with nuts covered in honey, with berries... We will now focus on the first option. And first of all, we need to decide what kind of cream we will make. The classic recipe involves using protein. To prepare it, let's take:

1. Whites from three eggs.
2. Sugar - 250 grams.
3. Water - no more than 90 grams.
4. Citric acid - one third of a teaspoon.

Preparing cream for cakes

You can start preparing the delicious cream. To make it tight, you must remember two rules:

1. The dishes must be completely clean. The pan in which the syrup will be prepared can generally be cleaned with powder in advance.
2. Under no circumstances should whites be mixed with yolks. The fact is that the yolk is fat, which will prevent the whites from whipping properly.

Separate the whites from the yolks and place them in a mixer bowl.

Next, pour water into the pan and add sugar, put it on the fire. You can stir it a little once to prevent it from burning. The syrup is cooked for about four minutes. You need to add a little citric acid to it. Mix everything again. You can check readiness very simply - to do this, drop a little sweet mass into a plate of cold water. If the drop does not spread, it means it is ready.

Important! While checking the syrup, remove the pan from the heat. It needs to be light in color: if you overcook it, it will turn out creamy and will be bitter, and this can spoil the cream, but we want it to be white, with a dense texture.

Are you sure everything is in order? Great! At this point you can start. The peaks should be very strong. And at the final stage, with the mixer running at full speed, you need to carefully pour in the syrup in a very thin stream. The mass will begin to increase in volume right before your eyes. You need to beat for another ten minutes until the cream has cooled. It should have a dense and uniform consistency and hold its shape well. Here the cream for the cakes is ready. Now there's just a little bit left to do. We need to collect our cakes. And then you can move on to tasting.

How to collect baskets?

Do you remember that there was always dark jam at the bottom of the cakes your mother bought you as a child? It seemed terribly tasteless. When making our baskets, we will, of course, follow the recipe, but we will put delicious jam or jam with berries on the bottom. For example, cherry. If you want, add a little boiled condensed milk. Or chopped prunes. Spread the cream on top using a culinary syringe. If you want, you can then sprinkle the cake with a little chocolate or sprinkles. The amount of food taken should make twenty-four baskets. You can start tasting.

As you can see, if you wish, you can prepare the “Basket” cake with cream at home, and believe me, the result will delight you and your children, because the delicacy will be no worse than what is sold in a cafe. Your household will appreciate such a culinary masterpiece. And they will ask you to make more sweets.

What other cream can you make cakes with?

We discussed how to prepare the “Basket” cake, so to speak, according to the classic recipe. But you understand that there are many variations on this theme. Do not limit your culinary imagination and try all new options.

Instead of protein cream, for example, you can make a cake with cream and marmalade, pour seasonal fruit with jelly (strawberries, red currants), decorating with cream. In general, there is room for your imagination to run wild.

Brownies with whipped cream

If you want to quickly prepare an excellent dessert, then this option will certainly suit you. Whipped cream will add a festive touch to your sweet dish. Just think how delicious the baskets will be with cream! The cake will turn out exquisite, beautiful and very tender.

When buying cream, make sure it is fresh, this is very important. In addition, their fat content must be at least thirty-five percent. At home, before pouring them out of the package, shake them well so that all the fat does not remain in the corners.

Remember one trick: the container in which you will beat the cream must be very cold. Therefore, cool the mixer bowl and cream well in the refrigerator in advance.

In addition, wash and dry the dishes very well. This is also important for the final result. And it’s better to take powder, not sugar, which needs to be sifted in advance so that it is free of lumps and turns out light and airy. You need to add it in small portions, after the cream itself has whipped into a stable foam.

And one more piece of advice. Start whipping the cream at the lowest speed, gradually increasing it to the maximum, and finish in the reverse order.

Do not make the whipping process itself long, as inclusions may appear on the surface of the cream, which will spoil the appearance. You can finish when, having stuck a spoon into the mass, you see that the hole does not close.

Of course, you can also use thickeners or gelatin. They are introduced during whipping. Using all these tricks, you will get excellent results. Well, let's move on to practice?

Cooking with gelatin

To prepare “Baskets” cakes at home, take the following ingredients:

1. Heavy cream - 600 ml.
2. Gelatin - 20 grams.
3. Powdered sugar - three tablespoons.
4. Vanilla sugar - one packet.

Beat cold cream with powder and vanilla sugar until peaks form. Dissolve gelatin in water according to the instructions written on the package. Very quickly you need to mix a couple of tablespoons of cream with the resulting solution. Next, whisking, slowly add it into the cream. Our cream is ready. It is better to cool the mixture a little before use. And then put them in baskets. Ready-made cakes are stored in the refrigerator. By the way! Remember that cream absorbs extraneous odors very well.

And further. You can decorate the cakes with homemade marmalade or buy ready-made ones.

Baskets with butter cream

The cakes are very tasty. To prepare, take one hundred grams of butter and four tablespoons of condensed milk.

Mash the butter until it becomes thick sour cream and start beating with a blender, mixer or whisk. You should get a fluffy white mass. Next, you need to slowly pour in the condensed milk and continue whisking for another ten to fifteen minutes. The cream will be homogeneous. It needs to be cooled a little and then you can put it in baskets. It is recommended to decorate the finished cake with slices of fresh fruit.

Combining cream fillings for “Korzinochka” cakes

In fact, each cream can be used either independently or combined with other fillers. For example, first put the protein mass in a basket, and then make an oil rose with a leaf on top. It will turn out beautiful and tasty.

If you made gelatin, you definitely need to decorate it with some kind of cream on top.

And another option is possible. But you'll have to tinker with it a little longer. Place cream, for example, protein cream, in a basket, combining it with fruit in a gelatin shell. Berries are picked according to the season. Strawberries and raspberries, even currant branches, look very beautiful in such cases. The cake is not very sweet, because the cream is combined with fruity sourness. And there’s no need to talk about the beauty of such baskets. They turn out very bright. A real culinary masterpiece.

Instead of an afterword

As you can see, it is not at all necessary to buy sweets in stores and cafes - if you wish, you can prepare a wonderful dessert yourself at home. We hope that the recipes given in our article will definitely be useful to you, and you will decide to make baskets for the first time. This cake from childhood will surely please your children. Enjoy your meal!
