Easter Rosca
"As Holy Week approaches, my daughters start to dream about the delicious Rosca de Pascua (Easter bread ring) we make at home. Everyone participates - one of them organizes the work area and ingredients, another one mixes, beats and kneads, while the other one is in charge of garnish, and I supervise them. But the best part of it is to enjoy it with a delicious cup of creamy café con leche.The Rosca de Pascua originated in Spain, and is called rosca for its ring shape. It´s a version of pan dulce for this very special season. There´s an endless variety of recipes for Rosca de Pascua and different methods of garnishing and filling it.Any way you make it, it´s just irresistible!..."
