[@lazarusmesserian8186]

Beautifully demonstrated. Years ago, this one plus other breads and cookies helped me make it through school when I had to be away from home. Thank you.

[@armenianandmiddleeasterncu5745]

Oh you are so welcome hon. I'm so happy 😊 I do have another braid also on my channel. Here is the link dear. Please enjoy and thank you for your comment 🌹👌 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpjcl3uomdRoecU

[@AC-yg7bo]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I made it exactly per instructions except I left out Mahlab since I didn’t have it. It came out exactly like yours and so delicious. To be honest I don’t like baking with yeast, but I made an exception for Easter. Thank you so much for the concise visual instructions. My husband kept on praising me, he loved it. Next time will try it with Mahlab. I’m saving your recipe Ani as my go to for Easter Armenian bread. I wonder if it’s possible to recreate the same taste and pull apart texture with sourdough. Anyhow I’m impressed at how delicious it came out. Thank you again.

[@armenianandmiddleeasterncu5745]

Aww you're so very welcome my dear. I'm so happy you loved it. Yahooo 😄😄 if the hubby is happy then the home is happy lol thank you for trying my recipe and I hope you will try my other recipes as well. Thank you again for your comment sweety 💓 Happy belated Easter 🐣

Hello chef . Merry Christmas. I am Egyptian. Thanks to lovely Armenian people who came to live with us , we took this recipe from them . I learned it with a twist . We make it with oil and we add raisins. I grew up loving this bread . I loved to bake it for myself. I made a anther little twist ☺️. I don’t add mahlab as it is not always available for me . So I soak the raisins in rose water and besides the milk I use this rose water to knead . The results is so satisfying for me . Pardon me if I messed up with the original recipe but I love too much to the extent to make it by all means 😍. Loved your recipe . Keep up the good work . 🌷🌷

[@armenianandmiddleeasterncu5745]

🤩😀👍hello there to you too. And wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 Oh my my, I love rise water so much. It sounds heavenly the way you made it. Yes at times, we also add raisens and also walnuts along with the Raisins. IT comes out divine. Every year it is a must for me to make this for the Christmas, and I make 3 to 4 times more then the given recipe 😱🤪 and give it to family and friends. Everyone simply love it. Thank you again my friend, and thank you for your message. Please stay safe 🙏 and have a blessed Christmas .

[@hanannayel]

I grew up in Egypt eating and loving chorek with raisins whixh my grandmother used to bake. I remember the glossy tops of the braided buns she made. She also added some sugar on top whixh was crunchy after baking ❤️ I searched for the recipe and discovered it was originally Armenian, brought over by the Armenians who grew up here!

[@armenianandmiddleeasterncu5745]

Thank you so very much my dear. I'm so thrilled that you made it, even with the little twist to it 🙂 My roots are also from Egypt 🇪🇬 , my mom & dad were born there. But me in Armenia 🇦🇲 Please enjoy it and remember to keep in touch and also Subscribe to my channel 😊👍 Merry Christmas

Hello m’y friend Très belle recette comme d’habitude bravo

[@tfandg791]

I remember having had this kind of bread lots of years ago when a coworker used to bring some in to work, which was made by her Armenian mom. I would love to make it but is Mahlab a necessary ingredient? I would not know where to find that.

[@soniaaaa3811]

Mahlab is a wonderful Greek spice that adds flavour to the brioche/Choereg. It's sold at any Middle Eastern/Oriental Stores :)

[@armenianandmiddleeasterncu5745]

Yes , Matlab is the key flavor in this recipe. It gives a special unique flavor and aroma .
