Ever wonder how your mom or grandmother’s braided Greek Easter bread comes out so perfect and yours… not so perfect?

There’s got to be a secret they have and won’t share, right?

Greek celebrity chef Akis Petretzikis lets the cat out of the bag and shares his own secret on how to make the perfect 4-layered braided tsoureki. He even provides a cheat-sheet in the video.

His recipe is quite amazing, blending all of the traditional tastes, like mastiha and cardamon, but also adding honey.
