I was browsing for a Good Friday bread recipe when I came across this one. The moment that blog mentioned Good Friday, then I knew I just had to make this bread.
I did not have a spice mix, so I just used 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg with 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, and the zest of one lemon and one orange. They made for a very fruity aroma combined with the cinnamon.
This bread is much more dense than previous breads I've made, at least during the kneading process.
I know the recipe calls for a paste to be piped out into crosses on top of the buns. I couldn't care less for tasteless paste, so I omitted that step.
And instead of adding a sweet sugar glaze, I just topped the buns with a mixture of powdered sugar and melted butter that people can peel off if they find it too sweet.
Yes, this bread is as good as that blog claims it to be and I will definitely make this again!
