EASTER ROLL

I bake this every day for Easter because my hubby loves it, not because I care about Easter, though I do love the chocolate. Okay, to be honest I bake this several times a year if I feel inspired. Gabe goes crazy over them. Those pictures are from last year. This year, Bree and I made five huge rolls and a smaller one for her friend M, whose parents loved it LOL. 

This kind of sweet bread looks crunchy on the outside, but it's actually light and fluffy both inside and out, with an eggy flavor. 

Its dough is very very similar to the Christmas Bread that I make with my Mother in law's recipe, though this one doesn't have any nuts or sugar coated fruits in it (and neither would the Christmas Bread if Gabe had any say in it!).

This dough calls for live yeast and is a pain to make but it's totally worth it. Especially since you can make like 5 huge rolls with 2lbs of flour (and about half a dozen eggs) and some sugar, vanilla extract and the KEY INGREDIENT, orange blossoms extract. 

The original recipe involves an insane amount of butter, but I use 70 grams of butter and the same amount of vegetable oil per 2lbs of flour, so it's kinda lowER in fat.
