How To Make Croatian Easter Bread Dolls (Primorski Uskrsne Bebe)

Almost the same type of dough used in the making of Croatian Easter bread can be used to make these sweet Easter bread dolls that are baked in a part of Croatia known as Primorje (the coastal part of Croatia).

Made alongside the pinca bread, these little bread dolls are gifts for the kids. The dolls are made in two different shapes, traditionally a doll was made for little girls and a wreath for little boys – buy you mix it up to suit your family.

There is also another tradition in the town of Dubrovnik where a young lady will give this as a gift to her future mother in law and an Easter egg to her future husband.

As this recipe contains colored eggs I would like to suggest you use natural ways to dye the eggs. You can use the outer shells of a red onion, red cabbage, turmeric powder, red wine, beetroot and lots of other natural ingredients. Feel free to ask if you have some question about tips and tricks for that.
