Greek Easter bread or “tsoureki” shares the same shape and texture as Challah bread. However, it is slightly more aromatic due to the addition of mahleb, a spice derived from sour cherry seeds, and mastic, a dried resin gathered from mastic trees. Given that neither of these ingredients are traditionally used in American cooking, you’ll need to look to specialty spice shops, Greek import stores, or the internet to find them. It is also worth noting that while mahleb is an essential component of this recipe, some include mastic, while others don’t. If you’re having trouble getting your hands on mastic or don’t enjoy the aroma, feel free to exclude it. Ingredients Preparation
