Prepare the Dough: Use the same steps as you would for the sweet braided Easter bread with raisins to prepare the dough. Once the dough has risen, remove it from the plate onto a large oiled cutting board.
Split the Dough: Next, split the dough into 3-4 pieces, depending on the size of your pots. If you're using pots that are 6 inches wide and 3 inches deep, you'll need to divide the dough into 4 pieces.
Oil and Let it Rise: Place the dough into oiled pots. Let it rise for 45 minutes in a warm oven. You can preheat the oven to 110 F and then turn it off. After the bread rises, remove it from the oven.
Bake the Bread: Heat the oven to 350 F. Bake all the bread in one oven for 40-45 minutes. Keep an eye on them as the baking time can vary depending on your oven. If the top gets too dark, cover the bread with foil and continue baking.
Make the Glaze: While your bread is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix milk and powdered sugar for a few minutes. Then, add freshly squeezed lemon juice. Beat the mixture for another minute. Cover the glaze and set it aside until you're ready to use it.
Cool and Glaze: Once the bread is baked, cool it in the pots for 5 minutes. Then, remove the bread from the pots and cool for another 5 minutes. Glaze one paska at a time and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.
Add Sprinkles and Serve: The glaze dries fast, so make sure to add the sprinkles immediately after glazing each bread so that they stick. Enjoy your delicious paska!
