Paska Time

Each Easter we make paska, or Easter bread. We don’t get too fancy about all the decorative braiding that some people do, but we make some rockin’ good bread every year. We bake the loaves in coffee cans and we make plenty so we can give paska to our friends. This year we’re making two batches. The first batch is rising up by the woodstove right now.

Our paska is a slightly sweet egg loaf enhanced with plenty of lemon zest. We use different sizes of coffee cans. The loaves in the smaller cans are tall and look like silos. Later, I’ll post some pictures.

    No, Mr. Anchovy, they don’t resemble silos. The original bakers were thinking of something else.

    This sounds like the Amish friendship bread I have had in the recent years of my husband working for a local tire company. one of his customers secretaries gave him a starter kit and we were making bread every ten days..

Have your say...
