Combine yeast, milk, butter, eggs, sugar, and a dash of salt in a large bowl. Slowly add flour to mixture until a dough tacky, elastic dough forms. Knead dough for 2-3 minutes on a floured work surface. Drizzle a bowl with olive oil and place dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and allow to rise for 1 hour. Punch dough down and form twelve 14" strands. Twist two strands together and form a ring, making six rings in total.
Arrange dough onto a lined baking sheet. Cover again and allow to sit for another hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush egg wash over dough. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until slightly golden.
Nestle a dyed egg inside your ring for a delicate Easter place-setting. Family's names could even be written on the egg for assigned seating. The bread bakes up slightly sweet, so serve as an appetizer, dessert, or even breakfast.
