    Easter bread

    Come on, roll up our sleeves and make this EASTER BREAD! It is unexpectedly delicious and remains very soft even the next day. In addition, it is also a traditional part of the festive Easter table. This bread is served on the Easter table with the colored eggs on top. In many parts of the country, small dumplings with an egg in the middle are prepared from the same dough and given to children. I saw the recipe in an amazing book that takes us back to the cuisine of our ancestors. The book is by Penka Mihova “When the Soul Eats”. Happy Easter holidays! 🙂

    Traditional Easter sweet bread (Kozunak) – the best I’ve ever made

    Козунак

    There is a sea of recipes for Kozunak. I decided to share this one because it really is the best one I have ever made. With crunchy crust on top and soft and with “threads” on the inside. Sweet enough and super fragrant! And making it with the mixer dough attachments made things a lot easier. Thanks to pamscookingworld.blogspot.com for the recipe! You should try it, too! It is not difficult! Happy Easter holidays! 🙂

  • Easter,  Sweet muffins

    Easter cruffins in muffin moulds

    Великденски козуначени круфини

    Easter is approaching. We all “train” actively to choose the most appropriate recipe for Kozunak. However, I am going to offer you something different that we can do with this sweet type of dough – CRUFFINS. The word comes from the combination of “croissant” and “muffins” and that’s how we get these beauties. I saw the idea from the recipe for “Easter Kraffin” from a Russian culinary site by Tanya Shpilko. She prepares them in larger paper forms. I decided to bake them in muffin molds. They turned out great! Diversify the traditional Easter cake with these delicious CRUFFINS and I guarantee you that you will not go wrong! Happy Holidays!
