• Using a stand mixer (this is the one I use & love for almost 10 years!), combine 2 ½ cups of flour, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 2 ¼ teaspoons of dry active yeast, mix well.
  
• In a small bowl, combine ⅔ cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of butter, microwave for 30 second, or until milk and butter is warm, but not too hot.
  
• Pour warm milk and butter mixture into the flour, add 2 eggs and slowly knead it using stand mixer for about 10 minutes. After place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead with hands until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  
• Lightly grease a large bowl with avocado oil. Place dough in the bowl and move around to coat with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  
• Deflate the dough and place it onto a floured surface. Divide Easter Bread dough into two equal size balls. Using hands roll each ball into a long roll about 36 inches long. Next, using long rolls, twist them and place 1 egg for every loop, creating total of 5 loops for 5 dyed eggs. Seal the ends of the ring together.
  
• Next carefully place it on a oily parchment paper over baking sheet or cast iron skillet (my favorite!), cover and let rest for 45 minutes in a warm place.
  
• Preheat oven to 350F. Brush risen easter bread with melted butter and sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the top. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown color.
