Il casatiello napoletano Neapolitan Easter bread
This is a very traditional easter bread from Naples. I need to thank my mother in law for this recipe. She told me that there are different versions but all more or less made with whatever you have in the fridge. For example you could sub salame with ham or the scamorza cheese with another type. But the important ingredient is lard. Trust me, it's the most amazing bread you'll ever eat! #bread #italian #easter

Mix yeast in the water and leave for 5 minutes. Add flour to a bowl. Slowly add about half of the water and bring together. Add 50 g of the lard, salt and pepper. Continue adding the rest of the water while bringing together and forming a dough. Knead well. Cover with cling film and leave to proof for an hour

After an hour. Put the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin, rectangle shape. Spread a tablespoon of lard on top, use a spatula or your hands. Sprinkle with black pepper. Add a spoonful of the Parmesan and Pecorino. Fold up lengthwise

Then like a parcel. Put the parchment paper back on top. Roll out rectangle shape (about 40 CM long) and repeat process twice more until lard and cheese is finished. Then roll out for final time, 40cm long. Cut a tiny piece of dough off each end and set a side. Add the chopped salame and scamorza cheese

Roll up like a sausage. Get a 24cm round baking tray and a ramekin. Grease it well. Add the dough inside and squish it down gently to take the shape doughnut shape. Cover with cling film and leave to proof for at least 3 hours or overnight, I left it overnight because the flavours mix better

The next day. Wash and dry 4 eggs, raw, not boiled. Place inside as shown. Take the tiny piece of saved dough and create a cross over each one. Take the yolk of the 5th egg and glaze all over. Bake at 160 for 1 hour. Test it's cooked using a toothpick. Eat on Easter Sunday and Monday. Take the egg out, shell it, and eat with the bread as a starter 😊😍

Tsoureki (Greek Easter Bread) Tsoureki (Greek Easter Bread)
Tsoureki (τσουρέκι) is a sweet yeast bread that is typically served at Easter. It’s similar to a brioche since the dough is enriched with eggs, milk, and butter. I made it for my family to enjoy for Christmas!My sister-in-law married a Greek man and now lives in Athens. My husband visited them recently and brought back a loaf of tsoureki for me. After one bite, I was determined to make it since it was delicious, and because we don’t have any Greek bakeries nearby.There are three critical things to know about making authentic Greek tsoureki.1) In order to obtain the correct flavor, you need to use the specific Greek spices that are listed in step one of the recipe.2) Bread flour should be used in order to provide enough strong gluten for the dough to rise and achieve its fluffy, slightly stringy texture. If you use all-purpose flour, you’ll have to knead a lot longer to ensure sufficient gluten formation.3) Ensure that you set aside enough time for the dough to rise. Because the dough is very enriched and heavy, the yeast has to work extra hard, and the rises take quite a bit of time (which for me was 5 hours total). Be patient!I’m happy to say that the time and effort paid off. My tsoureki was the same flavor and texture as the one from Athens!! And although this is usually an Easter bread, it’s delicious enough to eat any time!This recipe was modified from Dmitra’s Dishes#Easter #Christmas #Holiday #Celebration #Special #Yeasted #Baking #Sweet

Grandma's Easter Bread (Bread Machine) Grandma's Easter Bread (Bread Machine)
I modified my grandmother’s Easter Bread for my bread machine. She always topped it off with an egg-sugar glaze that she would then bake in the oven for a few minutes. I plan to update the receipt in the future for this glaze.

Easter Cheese Bread Easter Cheese Bread
In my home, it's not Easter without cheese bread. It's a tradition from the Marche and Umbria regions. My grandmother used to make it every year in large quantities, both for our home and to give as gifts to friends and family. She always started early in the morning, so when we woke up, the smell of the bread filled the house.

In my opinion there is no better bread for regular Sandwiches. Unless im making Sub sandwiches then I use my farmer's bread. This recipe is a bit involved but it is well worth it!

Pan Cubano / Cuban Loaf Bread Pan Cubano / Cuban Loaf Bread
This is a very traditional bread from Cuba. Similar to a soft Italian loaf of bread. It takes time to make but well worth the effort. Each step is actually quick and simple. The time is waiting for the starter and the different risings. Bake this once and you'll be hooked! I suggest making several loaves at once and freezing them after they are baked. Never be without!

Better than putting a swirl of Nutella on a slice of banana is finding the Nutella already swirled in your banana bread. This a little messy to eat, but oh so delicious!

No Knead Rustic Bread No Knead Rustic Bread
There are many no-knead bread recipes online and most recipes are almost the identical with few tweaks here and there. This is another example of a very Simple, no-knead, Chewy artisan bread recipe that can be found online from people who love baking bread like Jim Lacey, mark Bittman, simplysogood blog and many more. As One reader put it “this is a “peasant” recipe. Hundreds of years ago, women worked the fields all day. The women pre-prepared the dough before going out in the fields. 10 hours later, they are back…the wood stove was stoked and in go the handmade loaves. No one has exclusive rights to this recipe. It just evolved”. Thank you simplysogood ☺️#breakfast #yummy #tasty #bread #starch #bakingfromscratch #dessert #teatime #dinner #noknead #crustybread #crusty #lunch -
