How to make easter bread:

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Heat milk and 2 tablespoons of margarine in saucepan over low heat until liquid is warm. Add to dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl. Add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of flour. Now, beat at high for 2 minutes. Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. Turn onto floured board. Knead 8 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until doubled (about 1 hour). Punch dough down. Turn onto floured board; knead. Divide dough in half. Roll each piece into 24-inch rope. Twist together loosely to form a ring on a greased baking sheet. Brush with melted margarine. Place colored eggs into spaces in the twist; cover and let rise for another 1 hour, then bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
