Easter Bread, Pane di Pasqua.

Easter Bread about 2/3 dough and one Easter Doll.

Start by getting your eggs colored

· 2 T white vinegar

· Liquid food coloring, your choice of colors I like pink, light greens, light purple, light green-the softer colors of Easter.

· 3 cups boiling water

· 6 raw eggs left in shell.

Another thing you can do, is put the raw eggs in a muffin tin and bake them and you’ll have hard baked eggs, same thing, then pop them in water that doesn’t have to boil. That way you can more easily do multiple colors.

Dough: 

1 1/2 cups of water.

1 cup of milk. Add together and heat up to warm, but not burning hot.

2 packages or one and 3/4 Tablespoons of active dry yeast. 

6 cups of unbleached bread flour. 

2 cups of whole-wheat flour. I prefer stone ground white whole wheat flour.

1/2 cup of butter that is very soft but not melted.

1/3 cup of granulated sugar

1/3 cup of honey. 

1 1/2 Tablespoons of salt. 

2 large eggs 

1 lemon zested, and then add the juice to the mix.

Egg wash and bake for 40 minutes, check to see if done and continue baking until temp reaches 181.   

Happy Easter Baking!
