For those that enjoy authentic Italian Cooking or Recipes we would like to share a sweet bread recipe which is traditionally made at Easter time.

Ingredients

7 Eggs (whisk)
7 teaspoons Baking powder
3 cups sugar
Flour (approx 5 cups)
2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup milk
8 ml Salt or 1/2 tbsp
6 eggs (for decorative purposes, twist dough over raw egg)

Directions

Beat the 7 eggs well with whisk.
Add 3 cups sugar, add 2 cups of vegetable oil, 8 ml salt or little more than 1/2 tbsp salt, 1 cup milk. Whisk well to add more air.
Add flour to make a dough consistency (approx 5 cups) and add 7 teaspoon baking powder.
Roll and twist the dough in strips, add decorative egg (raw, shell still intact of course), shape as per above image. Use thinner strip of dough to wrap the egg on the top or for the last layer.

Bake at 300 deg F for about 35 minutes.

Makes about 6 loaves.

This sweet bread is a treat Mamma gives to all the grand-children each year and it is also known as pane di pasqua in Italian. Mangiare Bene!
