There's hardly anything better than brunch in good company - at least not for me. I'm a big fan of brunch. The Easter long weekend is the perfect time to spend some quality time around the table.

Nothing like homemade braid and bread

Butter braid recipe

Brunch without brioche is almost like Easter without chocolate bunnies. Fresh and homemade, it's even better. And it's even easier to make than you'd think. Those who have already tried it generally don't buy any more afterwards.
It's very simple:

Ingredients:

  • 1kg flour
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 150g butter, softened
  • 42g yeast, crumbled
  • 5dl milk, warm
  • 1 egg, beaten (to coat)

Preparation:

  1. Mix the flour and salt, and form a hollow. Add the butter, cut into pieces, to the flour.
  2. Thin the yeast in the milk and pour into the hollow. Mix to form a dough.
  3. Knead the dough until soft and elastic, but at least 10 minutes. Tip: if you cut it with a knife, you shouldn't see any air bubbles.
  4. Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Leave to rest at room temperature until the dough has doubled in size.
  5. Cut the dough in half and form two strands of the same length, a little thicker in the middle.
  6. Cross the strands and follow the instructions found on the braiding flour packaging.
  7. Place the braid on the baking paper and leave to rest for a further 10 minutes. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes. Brush the braid with the egg. Bake in the oven preheated to 200°C on the lower shelf for 50 to 60 minutes.

Eggs, eggs and more eggs - everything for Easter brunch

At Easter, the egg (of course, in addition to the Easter Bunny and his chocolate pals) is the centre of attention. There are many ways to place the multi-coloured eggs on the table. Egg dishes are ideal for brunches and can be prepared in a variety of ways: scrambled eggs with fresh herbs, fried eggs, hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, omelettes and eggs Benedict, etc.

Discovering foreign countries and cultures and tasting coffee or other delicacies is what I enjoy most when I travel. My home is decorated with little gems I find in thrift shops and at flea markets. When I’m having one of my big DIY moments, my creativity is unleashed. Both the mountains and the seaside restore my inner balance. With a snowboard or surfboard under my feet, I’m happy.
