The days around Easter are not only here to munch on chocolate Easter bunnies, but also the time for loads of Easter (yeast) bakes. This year with COVID, nationwide lockdown, and stuff like that there are even more good reasons to spend some time at home baking. If you choose the right bake, you can do everything while working from home and in between Zoom calls ;P
Do you have some time? Then off to the supermarket, buy some yeast (it’s finally back in the stores!) and then let’s make these delicious Overnight Cinnamon Rolls! As the name already tells you, these fellas here need a little longer than regular cinnamon rolls, but the additional time is definitely worth it! And with “additional time” I do not mean you have to work more than usual… these little rolls just need some more time to relax and get ready, but otherwise they are easy peasy to prepare ;)
How about another recipe for Easter made with some yeast? Something typical but not quite typical? ;) This time I made a classic bake aka. Hot Cross Buns but went for the not so classic version of a Hot Cross Bun Loaf. I think it turned out pretty rad!
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!
Be honest with me: do you like yeast bakes? Me personally – huge fan! I would say “number one fan since I was born” but that would be an obvious lie… it took some time until I got teeth and my mom gave me my first piece of braided (yeast) loaf… but from that moment on I was a huge fan! Really ;) Back then I preferred a sweet braided loaf but today I take everything I can – sweet or savory like this pull-apart bread with salami and cheese for example.
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 ;)
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 ;)
