April in the HomeBaker’s Club…
Happy Easter Homebaker!
This past month in the Members Forum I’ve loved seeing all of your English Muffins and they have been looking great! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying them :-)
Don’t forget, you can find my classic Hot Cross Bun recipe in the club, and joining them this year are two more Easter traditions, one sweet and one deliciously savoury.
Tortano Easter Bread
This bread is unbelievably tasty, especially for something so simple to make. You’ll begin with a straightforward bread dough, rolled thin and layered with lard. Follow that with salami, eggs, parmesan and fresh herbs, season it well with salt and pepper and you’ll have a crispy, deeply savoury bread that is almost a meal in itself. A must to eat it warm.
Pane di Pasqua
You’ll no doubt have seen this iconic Italian Easter bread before. It’s sweet and soft and scented with citrus and anise, you’ll be delicately weaving together silky dough strands and topping with coloured eggs as per tradition to create this stunning centrepiece that tastes as good as it looks.
And in the “with bread” section…
A super easy and warming Braised Lentil Bowl to serve with your Tortano and a poshed up Roasted Garlic Butter with Parmesan Crumb
Enjoy baking bread this Easter!
See you in class :-)
