Oh wow…This recipe comes from generations before me on my mother’s, German side of the family…However, Paska is traditionally a Ukrainian Easter bread! Absolutely delicious and it wouldn’t be Easter without it! ~ Kimberly Edwards ;D
Type: Bread
Serve With: Fresh, organic butter
Prep Time: ~ 3 hr 45 min
Cook Time: ~ 1 hr.
Nutrition Facts: * Please use organic ingredients whenever possible.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Soften yeast in warm water or potato water for 10 min.
2. Add a bit of flour to make a very soft sponge.
3. In the meantime, scald milk or milk/cream mixture, then pour over the flour, and beat until very smooth. Cool mixture slightly.
4. Beat egg yolks with 2 cups of sugar and add it to the flour mixture.
5. Beat egg whites until they are stiff and fold them into warm flour mixture, and immediately add yeast mixture. Let rise until it is light.
6. Then add softened butter, salt, balance of sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, zest and softened raisins.
7. Gently add enough flour to make a medium-soft dough.
* Tip: It could be somewhat sticky when medium-soft.
8. Allow to rise until it has at least doubled in in bulk.
* Tip: Traditionally, paska are baked in round tis; honey pails are ideal.
9. Grease baking tins well and lightly dust with flour.
10. Fill containers to 1/3 full with paska dough.
11. Let rise until light and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hr.
* Option to Bake in Tube Tin:
Again, fill to 1/3 full with paska dough and bake same as above.
* Option to Bake in Bread Tin:
Fill to 1/3 full with paska dough and bake for 40 min.
* Tip: Since all ovens are different, start checking doneness when dough has risen to the top of the tin.
12. Let cool in tins for 10-15 min before removing and cooling on wire racks.
13. Enjoy with fresh, organic butter!
