Tips: Dye eggs in food coloring in water with a little vinegar. Put 4 eggs in pan, cover with water and add food coloring and vinegar into them. Bring to boil and shut off heat. When eggs are cooled, put on paper towels to absorb excess coloring. Check bread cycle when it starts to knead bread to be sure the dough is not too sticky. If it is sticky, add a Tbsp. or so of additional flour. You will be able to tell if dough leaves the sides of bread cylinder. Also, even though recipe calls for 2 tsp. of dry yeast, add entire package as the package of dry yeast contains 2 ¼ tsp. of yeast. For coloring eggs: ¼ tsp. food color and 2 tsp. distilled vinegar. |
