Paska

"A traditional Easter bread served in Eastern Europe - this is an extremely rich bread due to the large amount of dairy products. To make it truly authentic you should use the whey from Hrudka (see my recipes for this), if you don't have the whey scalded milk is a useable substitute."

  1. Its not Easter but I had whey left over after making paneer so I was looking for recipes and this one sounded good. And it is! Very easy to make and the end product has a lovely taste and texture. Perfect for French toast too!
     
  2. Made your Paska last night. Like other paska, it takes a long time to rise. I think next time I will add more yeast,because these are heavy loaves. I made two regular size bread loaves. The taste is great and the texture is beautiful. Will make again.
