Frequently asked questions
What do you bake at Easter?
The classics are sweet Easter bread, a lamb-shaped cake, and 'Judas' rolls. On the savory side there's herb stuffing with nettles or wild garlic, and roast lamb. Plus lots of eggs.
How do I bake fluffy Easter bread?
The key is a well-kneaded yeast dough and enough rising time. Don't rush — let it double in size. The recipe walks you through it step by step.
What should I cook for Easter lunch?
The classic is roast lamb or kid with spring vegetables, or an herb stuffing. Add fresh bread and eggs.
How do I dye eggs naturally?
Onion skins give golden brown, beetroot pink, turmeric yellow, and red cabbage blue. Boil the eggs right in the dye and let them cool in it — the color comes out deeper.
What are Judas rolls and when are they baked?
Spirals of sweet yeast dough, traditionally baked for Maundy Thursday. You eat them in the morning brushed with honey — for a year of good health, so the tradition says.
