What is the difference between Brioche and Challah and Greek Easter Egg Bread? I've made the Greek Easter Bread and always thought it was similar to challah. I will give this a try. I almost always use my bread machine for dough. I don't usually bake in the bread machine because I don't like the way it turns out. Plus I've got to get my hands on the dough at some point. I wouln't want to miss that smooth baby bottom feel.
I bought my bread machine (reconditioned) in a discount store about 10 years ago for under $30. The one in KA at the time was around$150 if I recall. Mine is still going strong.
Fran: Brioche has the highest percentage of butter of any of the three. Challah can be made with butter or oil, and is a little bit sweeter than Brioche. Greek Easter Bread doesn't have as many eggs in it (although the bread may be baked with dyed eggs nestled in the dough), and is traditionally flavored with mahlep. Susan
