    Hello Giovanna, I really enjoy your videos. While watching your Easter bread video, something you said sprang up a wonderful memory from my childhood. You called the little loaf Pupa Cu L’ova. When you said that I remembered that my grandparents used to call me that. I don’t think I would have had that wonderful memory had you not said that. Thank you so much. Now, I will never forget. Thank you for sharing your love of making authentic Italian food.

    My Mom calls it the same name pupa que l'uova like it is a doll. It's wonderful, a special taste at Easter. I also make a sweet cookie version that Mario Cuomo's wife once shared in a newspaper article. You decorate it with green colored sweetened shredded coconut around the egg. Buona Pasqua Giovanna, Howard and family!

    Hi Giovanna. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes! Your Easter Bread (and colored egg) recipe is very similar to my mom's- a tradition that I carry on each year at Easter time for my family. My mom's recipe includes a couple of tablespoons of Anise seed when mixing the dough giving the final product a nice hint of licorice, which the family loves.

    Oh my goodness! This was so lovely and brought back so many memories! My grandmother (Carmela) would make the Easter breads and pies. She made the bread basket and also a "baby", that was similar to your dolls, but much larger. The dough would also be flavored with anise. The pies she would make would be like calzones - one cheese (mozzarella, ricotta, and herbs), one with crumbled Italian sausage and egg, and one with spinach and ricotta. I always looked forward to Easter, because of all the delicious breads. Thanks for bringing back such lovely memories! You have a new subscriber!

      Thank You so much! As soon as both my husband and I retired from teaching, we made an Easter trip to Sicily to enjoy for the first time since we immigrated to America the bounty of delicious breads, pies, and other traditional Easter specialties. We had made many trips to Italy, before that, but always in the summer.

I can’t remember what happens to the raw egg once it is baked…I don’t recall ever eating them! Are they just for decoration or do you eat them?

      The eggs for the bread were hard boiled, cooled, and colored.
      The Ukranian Psanky Easter Eggs that I mentioned in the Video, are decorated raw, and eggs eventually dehydrate, and if you shake the egg you will hear what is left of the egg. inside the unbroken shell.

I like it because you mix it with the dry ingredients, you don’t need to proof it, and it’s good for both sweet or savory doughs. It comes in a 16 ounce package.
