Oh and I can't forget My Italian Easter Bread, Yummy!



Here is what I did tonight.....

Mom's Italian Easter Bread

Melt 1 cake of yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water. Add 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1/2 cup of warm milk. Add 1 cup of flour. Cover and let rise 1 hour. Then add 7 cups of flour and 6 eggs one at a time. Mix well. Knead 10 minutes. Cover, let rise 1 hour. Knead and roll out 1/2 of dough flat. Roll out second half and sprinkle with olive oil, oregano, raisins, and a little black pepper. Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top of all seasonings. Roll up like making cinnamon rolls and cut into slices of small rolls. Place rolls flat side down on the first piece of flat dough. Pinch edges. Brush top with 2 eggs mixed with water. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Enjoy!

P.S. I couldn't give you measurements of filling as I don't have any, this is an old family recipe.

We have this on Easter morning with hard boiled eggs....
