Easter without any yeast bake is impossible in my house! It does not matter if it’s a classic bake or a more modern attempt of creating something with yeast – something has to end up on the table. For example something like this yeast wreath aka. savarin filled with pistachio cream and espresso infused glaze. Definitely a “must have” for a good Easter brunch!
Are you baking for Easter? Many do I assume. A nice braided loaf or some other yeast bake should be on every brunch table. It’s a must-have! I don’t know why, but Easter would not be the same without something like that. It does not always have to be something sweet, I also like these challah knots for example which are savory and made with ham and cheese. Really nice addition to a brunch or breakfast… or maybe the next bbq? Who knows ;)
A homemade babka or braided loaf is not only for Easter a nice treat. I could actually eat a slice of this simple German Nusszopf (Braided Loaf with Nuts) every day. Unfortunately, my blood sugar wouldn’t be too thrilled if I did. I don’t use a lot of sugar in the dough here, but the sugar glaze on top is too much for me personally ;) That’s why I do not always brush the whole loaf with the glaze – the part I want to eat has no sugar on top. Clever, right?! ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
