You possibly will not believe you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes russian easter bread but it can happen. It is pivotal to not eat russian easter bread or other high calorie bread every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 4 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet food. I have only been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Russian Easter Bread (Kulich)

It is traditional to make the design XB meaning "Christ is risen" on top of each of these little towering loaves.

2 packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
3/4 cup lukewarm milk (scalded, then cooled)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup cut-up mixed candied fruit
1/4 cup chopped blanched almonds
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
Lemon Icing

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, raisins, candied fruit, almonds, lemon peel and 3 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.

Punch dough down; divide into halves. Shape each half into round bun-shaped loaf. Place in two well-greased 3-pound shortening cans.* Let rise until double, 40 to 50 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place cans on low rack so that midpoint of each can is in center of oven. Bake until tops are golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. If tops brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Cool 10 minutes.

Remove from cans. Spoon Lemon Icing over tops of warm bread, allowing some to drizzle down sides. Trim with tiny decorating candies if desired.

* Two (46-ounce) juice cans can be substituted for the 3-pound shortening cans.

Lemon Icing
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon warm water
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Mix confectioners’ sugar, water and lemon juice until smooth. Icing should be of glaze consistency. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons water if necessary.
