Hi Peter it’s 4am here in Melbourne Australia and my Tsourekia have been rising overnight.
Can’t wait to smell that aroma in 2 hours.
Καλό Πάσχα to all my fellow tsoureki bakers out there ! Keep up the tradition !

Hi Anna, thanks….it’s 12 cups + 1/4 for bench flour. Also, you’re making 15 balls of dough.

Hi, just preparing for Greek easter next weekend here in the UK and was wondering if you could clarify how much flour you use? In the list of ingredients you list 12 1/4 cups of flour required but in the instructions you write to add 14 cups to the mixture and then use the remaining flour for dusting. Thanks!

Hope you had a great Easter! I love reading Easter food posts. This bread reminds me a bit of the sweet Easter bread my mother always gets this time of year. Dying to compare it to your version.
