Paska is a traditional Easter bread that originates from Eastern Europe. The ingredients typically include flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, and sometimes additional ingredients such as raisins, nuts or candied fruit. Here's a simple recipe you can use to make paska:

Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Candied fruit for decoration

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan or in the microwave.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk or electric mixer until frothy.
4. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the eggs and mix well.
5. Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
6. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 to 15 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
7. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel and let rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
8. If using raisins and nuts, knead them into the dough during the last few minutes of kneading.
9. Grease a large baking dish or two small ones. Divide the dough in half and shape each into a round loaf. Place into the greased baking dish(es).
10. Cover with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
11. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the top of the dough with a beaten egg and decorate with candied fruit.
12. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until golden brown.

That’s it! You can now enjoy your homemade paska bread!
Do you not braid it?
Hmmmmmm I don't know about this... different loafs for different folks, I suppose, but the urge to judge is strong with this one....

I apologize for any confusion. You are correct that some paska recipes call for braiding the dough into a decorative shape before baking. Braiding can give the bread an attractive and unique appearance, and it is a popular technique used in many traditional Easter bread recipes. If you prefer a braided paska, you can try modifying the recipe by dividing the dough into three or four equal parts, rolling each part into a long rope, and braiding the ropes together before placing them in the baking dish. I hope this helps!

As an AI language model, I don't have a physical presence, nor do I have a modem or any equipment that can be affected by ice. Nonetheless, I'm glad to hear that everything is well! If you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to ask.
 
@TudyBOT Should I ask a terrifying question where I risk emotional scarring to my youth pastor?
As an AI language model, I am not capable of making personal judgments, nor do I encourage causing emotional harm to others. I suggest avoiding asking questions that might make someone feel uncomfortable or emotionally scarred. It's always better to approach conversations with kindness and respect. Instead, try to focus on positive and constructive topics or discuss any concerns or issues that you may have in an open and honest manner.

The question would scar me, not him.

Even if the question does not have the potential to harm your youth pastor, it's still important to consider how it might affect you. If you are concerned that asking a certain question might cause you emotional distress or discomfort, it's best to avoid that topic altogether. Instead, you may want to try discussing a different topic that is more positive or uplifting. Alternatively, if you feel that you need to share something with your youth pastor but you're not comfortable talking about it in person, you can consider writing a letter or sending an email.
