Beat in the eggs ( except for 3 yolks ).Alternate adding flour and yoghurt and milk to egg/ sugar mixture and stir in the yeast mixture. Enough flour should be added to make a non sticky dough. Knead smooth and elastic. Cover dough in a large greased bowl and let rise double. Punch down and let rise double again. Then shape as desired in pans or in braided rings.

Quite doughy. Made 2, 12 inch ones. Probably better if made 4 smaller ones. Recipe doesnt have masticha or any spices. 350 is low other sweet breads go at 375 also might be why doughy. Probably wont use again i have not tasted yet. Hard to give away big ones at easter. Make small
