Me too! I was so pleased that it tasted like the one my husband brought home from Greece! He already asked me to make it again! Thank you for your kind comment!

Thank you so much! It was delicious indeed. Time to make another, I think! Haha!

Wonderful!!!🏆 wonderful result and your explication!!! I tried some pastries with mastika in Turkey but I don’t know the other one flavour … I’ll search info in internet… 😉

Thank you so much! Now that I have tried the recipe more than once, and gotten good successes both times, I am quite confident in its reproducibility. Mahleb is a great flavor, so I hope you get a chance to try it someday!
Thank you again! 😊
Thank you again! 😊

Interesting ingredients. I always thought giving someone ground up cherry pits was a way to kill them! 😳
Chris Gan @ChrissyAlpha
Ah! Interesting observation! Yes - cherry pits contain a compound that is converted to cyanide in the body. But in minute amounts (as found in tsoureki), it’s essentially harmless. I imagine that you’d have to eat multiple loaves of tsoureki at one time to even begin to feel the ill effects of mahleb. And fortunately, such an endeavor is self-limiting. 😁

Oh, man!! He’ll probably love it, then. It’s very much like a flavorful brioche. 😋
