New Year’s Day Traditional Tsoureki Bread
The best way to welcome the new year, is a large piece of this marvelous sweet bread! It is so soft and tasty, you won’t even care whether you found the lucky coin or not.
Whipping cream is the key ingredient, which replaces milk used in most recipes and gives a richer texture. It matches perfectly with orange or chocolate glaze but you can just sprinkle with sesame seeds, finely chopped walnuts or almonds. Choose your favourite garnishment and enjoy!
