Colomba Pasquale (Easter Dove)

List of Ingredients




1 pound all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 extra yolks
2/3 cup butter, plus extra
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup candied orange peel
1/3 cup sugar crystals
1 cup milk
1/4 cup brewer's yeast
salt



Recipe



Preheat the oven to 325°. Boil the almonds and peel them. Dissolve the brewer¹s yeast in 1/2 cup of warm milk. Combine half a pound of flour with the milk mixture, form a ball of dough, cover with a dish towel and let rise. When its size has doubled, add the eggs, 1 yolk, the leftover flour, sugar, butter, 1 pinch of salt, the orange peel, and the rest of the milk. Butter an oven rack, place the dough on it, and shape it like a dove. Brush with the remaining egg yolk and dust with the almonds and the pieces of sugar. Once the dough has doubled in size, bake for 1 hour.
