Easter baking recipes with photos

Traditionally, on the Easter table there are always a lot of pastries, fancy holiday goodies. 😍

We already have a big article about . Check it out if you want to bake a delicious and beautiful cake.

But, what would you bake for Easter besides Easter cakes? Let me suggest you some other wonderful recipes.

Very beautiful and fragrant pizza bread in a slow cooker

Look, what a beautiful, elegant bread!

It looks great on the table and creates a festive mood. 😍

Ingredients

• Flour - 800 gr
• Warm water - 500 ml
• Sweet red pepper - 1 pc.
• Dry yeast - 10 gr
• Sugar - 1 tsp
• Salami - 150 gr
• Butter
• Cheese - 100 gr

Cooking

This is yeast bread, so we start with dough. Take a portion of warm water, about 150 ml, add sugar to it and add some flour.

We stir. The consistency should be like thick sour cream. We leave the dough in a warm place to approach, it should increase in size and have a porous appearance.

In the meantime, the dough is gaining strength, cut the salami, pepper and cheese into cubes. They should be about the same size (1 cm).

When the dough is ready, add it to the remaining water and add flour in portions, begin to knead.

In the process of kneading, lay the filling and immediately mix it into the dough.

When it becomes difficult to stir with a spoon, put it on the table and continue kneading there.

At the end of the kneading, the dough should no longer stick to your hands.

Form it into a bun and grease with vegetable oil.

If you cook without a slow cooker, then place the bread in the prepared bread pan and in the same way let it stand for an hour in a warm place and rise.

The dough should at least double in size.

We set the multicooker to the Baking mode of your multi. Since everyone's appliances are different, the baking process is different.

Look in the instructions for your multicooker for how to bake bread in it. You may need to flip to the other side in the process, or the bread will be completely cooked through on one side. Cooking time will be approximately 2 hours.

If cooking in the oven, then set the temperature to 200 degrees and check the readiness with a wooden skewer.

This is how the bread turned out. Let it cool down completely and serve.

How beautiful he is! Cook with pleasure!

Sweet wicker wreaths for eggs with poppy seeds

And a delicious treat and a beautiful Easter egg stand!

Ingredients

For the base you will need:

• Flour - 220 gr
• Sugar - 3 tbsp
• Salt - a pinch
• Grated nutmeg - a pinch (you can use: vanillin, cardamom, lemon zest, cinnamon)
• Egg - 1 pc.
• Butter - 50 gr
• Yolk - 1 pc.
• Dry poppy - 3 tbsp

for steam:

• Milk - 120 ml
• Flour - 70 gr
• Sugar - 1 tsp
• Yeast - 15 gr

For such beautiful spikelets, we need to prepare sourdough yeast dough.

All foods must be warm or at room temperature.

Take a spoonful of sugar, yeast and fill them with warm milk (not hot!), And also add flour.

Stir and leave in a warm place for 25 minutes. Opara should come up with such a magnificent hat.

We crush the dough, put melted butter, egg and sugar to it. Salt and sprinkle with nutmeg.

In general, at this stage, you can add any spices - cinnamon, cardamom, you can add lemon zest, everything is optional.

Mix and begin to add the sifted flour in parts, kneading.

Yeast loves the warmth of hands and such a dough tends to become soft and stop sticking after a long kneading.

Therefore, you will need to knead it well for about ten minutes, and then put it in a warm place for an hour and a half, covering it with a towel or cling film.

During this time, it will rise, increase two or more times, become fluffy and soft.

It will be necessary to knead it and roll a long “sausage” out of it.

Cut this sausage into equal parts. From this amount you will get about 16 pieces, try to keep the number even.

We roll each blank into a long “string” and connect it in pairs.

We twist the blanks like a pigtail.

We form a ring and close up the edge well. Keep in mind that they will expand as they bake.

Therefore, at the preparatory stage, we need to leave large enough holes in the center, because the holes will decrease during baking.

Let the buns rise for 20 minutes in a warm place.

Well, the blanks are ready. Coat them with yolk and sprinkle with poppy seeds.

We bake at 180-190 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until a beautiful golden brown.

Very beautiful coasters for eggs and a delicacy in one! 😍

Easter sweet cake with dried apricots

Very tasty, fluffy and soft!

It is made in the form of a wreath or nest, in the center of which you can put real or decorative eggs.

Looks great on the table, beautiful and bright!

Ingredients

• Flour - 500 gr
• Warm milk - 200 ml
• Ryazhenka warm - 100 ml
• Eggs - 1 pc.
• Sugar - 80 gr
• Butter warm - 50 gr
• Salt - 1/3 tsp
• Dry yeast - 6 gr (1/2 sachet)

For filling:

• Dried apricots - 100 gr
• Raisins - 50
• Cognac/rum
• Jam - 50 gr

When working with yeast dough, we must not forget that all products must be warm - that is, at room temperature or a little warmer.

And, in addition, you need to take with you a good mood and positive, bright thoughts. Then the baking will be incredible!

Let's start with steam. To do this, take half the milk, it should be warm, but not hot.

Add a tablespoon of sugar to it, pour in the yeast and put 2-3 tablespoons of flour with a slide and mix well.

You will get a mass that resembles sour cream in consistency.

It's okay that now there are lumps, it's absolutely not scary.

The dough should be covered and put in a warm, draft-free place to infuse.

In the meantime, it rises in a warm place, prepare the filling.

To do this, dry the dried fruits well and dry.

Cover with a lid and let stand for 10-15 minutes so that they are well soaked.

Cognac, of course, optional. Although, even if you cook for children, there is nothing to worry about.

Because of boiling water, all alcohol will quickly come out of it, only a delicious aftertaste will remain.

In the meantime, our dough came up. Look how fluffy and beautiful she is!

It needs to be mixed, precipitated and work can begin.

We combine the egg with sugar and shake them with a fork or whisk.

We spread the whole dough to the egg mixture, add the remaining warm milk and, adding the flour in parts, we start kneading.

In the process of kneading, add warm fermented baked milk.

It can be replaced with low-fat yogurt or kefir, but if possible, do it with fermented baked milk, it will give a very good taste.

Also, in the process of kneading, we spread the softened butter to the dough, not all at once, but in pieces and gradually mix it into the dough.

In general, you should not rush with yeast dough, knead thoroughly, well, but slowly.

When the dough becomes difficult to knead with a whisk, put it on the table and continue to mix in the flour.

Yeast dough loves long kneading, and as you interfere, it will become soft, tender from rather dense and stop sticking to your hands.

When the dough is ready, grease a deep plate with oil, place the bun in it, cover with cling film and put in a warm place.

The dough will rise again for half an hour and will increase by two to two and a half times.

In the meantime, it fits, lush and beautiful, we will complete the work on the filling.

We recline dried fruits on a sieve and drain all excess moisture from them. They are full and smell delicious!

Grind them in a blender or through a meat grinder to get such a bright gruel.

Add jam or jam to it, but not too much so that the filling does not turn out to be too liquid.

Well, the filling is ready. When our dough has come up, gently knead it again.

It turned out very gentle, obedient, wonderful and really alive!

Roll it out into a thin layer. And on top of it, not thickly, we will apply the filling, evenly distributing it over the entire surface.

Now our task is to gently, without sudden movements, starting from the edge, evenly roll such a roll.

It will be long and quite thick.

On this ring we make beautiful cuts, petals. Please note that we do not cut to the end.

In total, there should be 16 such "petals".

It is convenient to first cut into 4 large parts, and then divide each of them into 4 more.

This will make it smoother. If the filling sticks to the knife during the cut, do not forget to remove it with a napkin.

We need everything to be neat and beautiful.

Now we begin to turn the petals inside out in pairs with the filling up so that a beautiful cut is visible.

We are not in a hurry, we do everything confidently, but carefully, because the dough is very soft.

Our preparation is ready. This is how the cake should come up again.

To do this, cover it with cling film, and on top with another towel and let it stand in a warm room for another half hour.

After that, grease with yolk so that the pastries are better browned and send to bake.

We bake at 170 degrees until a beautiful, golden brown.

The pie is just amazing! And beautiful and fragrant, and the taste is generally just incredible!

See how beautiful it looks in the cut.

You can come up with your own filling and it will turn out very cool too.

Such a cake remains soft and does not get stale on the second day.

The recipe is very successful. Try to bake such beauty on the Easter table, your family will definitely appreciate it!

Glaze syrup:

• Milk - 4 tbsp (hot)
• Sugar - 2 tbsp

Don't be put off by the impressive list of ingredients.

Such buns are actually prepared quite simply and without much effort.

Cooking yeast dough. Add a teaspoon of sugar and yeast to warm milk.

Leave them warm for 10 minutes to activate. Active yeast will have a foam cap on top of the milk.

In the meantime, the yeast is starting to work, pour the washed dried fruits with orange juice so that they are saturated with it and take on its flavor.

Sift the flour through a sieve, add sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg to taste, grate the orange zest and mix well.

The smell is already incredible! It remains only to add the yeast to the flour along with two egg yolks and melted butter. And we start the grind.

We begin to knead in a bowl, and then go to the work surface and knead with our hands.

Yeast dough loves the warmth of hands and active kneading.

Even if it seems sticky at first, do not rush to add flour, knead well for about 5 minutes and you will notice how it becomes soft and not sticky.

We put the finished bun in a greased dish, cover with cling film and leave it warm for about an hour.

During this time, it will do, and the hostess can do many other useful things during this hour.

When the dough is ready, drain the juice from dried fruits and blot them with paper towels to dry them.

The dough has risen and increased in volume. It is a beautiful light brown color, which was given to it by cinnamon.

We divide it into equal parts. You will end up with about 10 pieces in total.

We roll the pieces into koloboks and cover with cling film so that they do not wind.

Let them rest for 10 minutes.

Then we take a bun, flatten it and put the filling in the center.

We close it inside, pinch it well and roll it between the palms, giving the bun an even rounded shape.

Lay the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

They will need to be covered with a towel and left for 50 minutes to increase in volume.

So, time passed, the buns puffed up, became big and lush.

We take the yolk, add a little milk at room temperature to it, shake them together and coat our buns with this mixture.

This coating will give them a beautiful shine and blush when baked.

Well, white decor is very easy to prepare.

This is a regular white dough, for which only flour, water and a little sugar are used.

Mix sugar with flour and, stirring constantly, start pouring water in small portions.

It is necessary to get a homogeneous, rather thick, but still fluid substance.

Put it in a pastry bag or a syringe and, having marked small grooves on the buns with a knife, we apply a white mixture in the form of a cross.

Due to the fact that the main dough is light brown, white will look very contrasting on it.

We put in the oven at 180-190 degrees for about 20 minutes.

While the buns are baking, prepare the frosting syrup for a magical shine.

To do this, add sugar to hot milk, stir to dissolve it.

Very simple! We take still hot buns from the oven and coat with such syrup.

It turns out incredibly fragrant beauty, amazing holiday buns! 👍

It actually takes longer to write than to do. Everything is very simple and not laborious.

Try to cook them for the Easter table.

Cut the meat into layers, beat off, salt and pepper. Cheese grate on a fine grater.

Then we use an interesting trick - we take a mug, grease it with mayonnaise and put the meat on the bottom so that the edges hang down.

We proceed to the layer-by-layer laying of the filling.

The layers go in this order: grated cheese, mushrooms with onions, pickled cucumber to taste, a piece of butter, grated potatoes.

We tamp the filling well and close it with hanging edges.

Then we simply turn the mug over onto a baking sheet covered with foil, and the meat with the filling falls out entirely in the form of such a ball.

If you have several mugs of the same size, then you will very quickly be able to fill several bombs at once at the same time.

It remains only to grease the blanks with mayonnaise and send them to the oven.

We bake at a temperature of 180-200 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

The meat should have a beautiful golden brown.

Ready! Remove the bombs from the oven and place them on the lettuce leaves to serve.

Let simmer for 5 minutes, turn off and cool.

We put the pork in the cooled marinade so that it is completely hidden and put in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

After a while, take it out and blot it with a paper towel.

We rub the boiled pork with salt and seasoning for meat on all sides.

Make slits in the meat and place the garlic slices in them.

Meat and potatoes with mustard sauce in the oven

Ingredients

• Any meat - 1 kg
• Potatoes - 8-10 pcs
• Onion - 2 pcs
• Eggs - 4 pcs
• Vegetable oil - 150 ml
• American mustard - from 50 to 100 gr
• Lemon flavored mustard - 2 tsp (regular + 1 tsp lemon juice)

• Basil - 1 tsp
• Italian herbs - 1 tsp
• A mixture of peppers - 1 tsp.
• Garlic - 3 cloves
• Apple cider vinegar - 1-2 tbsp. l.

Cooking

First, let's make a delicious mustard sauce.

To do this, break a bowl of eggs, add vegetable oil to them (you can replace them with sour cream, it will also be very tasty, but then without vinegar), put mustard in the same place.

American mustard is sweet and not very hot in taste, while lemon mustard can be made by mixing ordinary Russian or Dijon mustard with lemon juice.

Salt, add all the indicated herbs (you can add your favorite ones to taste) and squeeze 2-3 garlic cloves.

We put 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or you can replace it with 1 tsp of the usual 9%.

Now you need to combine all the components of the sauce, shaking it with a whisk.

We are just chatting, as if we are making an omelette, you don’t need to whip, especially with a blender, otherwise you will get mayonnaise.

When the sauce is mixed, taste it, if necessary, add sugar. The sauce should have a pronounced mustard flavor.

Cut the meat and potatoes into arbitrary pieces, onion into half rings or quarters.

Salt potatoes and meat with onions and put in a bag or baking sleeve, spread well inside and pour over the sauce.

Tie up the bag and once again gently stir everything inside, distributing the sauce and other ingredients.

We make small holes in the bag with a toothpick or scissors on top to let air out so that it does not inflate.

And put in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes. You can serve directly in the form by cutting the package and sprinkling the contents with herbs.

Beautiful, simple, very juicy! At the bottom of the package is a broth that can be poured over the dish when serving.

The dish is not spicy, despite the mustard, and even the kids will like it!

See below for some proven recipes.

Delicious homemade orange kvass

It is possible not only for adults, but also for children.

Ingredients

• Boiled water warm (not hot!) - 3 l
• Sugar - 300 gr
• Orange - 2 pcs
• Citric acid - 1 tbsp. l
• Burnt sugar - 3 tbsp. l
• Bread yeast - 5-6 gr

Well-washed oranges are cut into slices along with the peel and put them in a jar.

Add citric acid there, pour out all the sugar and put the yeast. Let's mix everything.

It remains only to add burnt sugar, which will give a beautiful orange color to the drink.

Pour three tablespoons of sugar into a saucepan with a thick bottom and begin to heat, stirring constantly.

Soon the sugar will begin to melt and melt, and gradually it will take on a dark brown color.

We let the finished dark caramel boil and turn it off.

Then we dilute it with boiled warm water so that all the burnt sugar dissolves.

You will end up with a concentrated, rather dark, sweet liquid. Pour it into a jar and stir, you will immediately see what a beautiful color the kvass will become.

We do not close the jar, put it in a warm place for fermentation for a day.

The amount of yeast is very small, so during this time they will all ferment.

After a day, close the jar with a lid and put kvass in the refrigerator. That's it, he's ready!

Serve chilled or at room temperature. A delicious drink for Easter.

This mixture will serve as a thickener for our jelly.

Half an hour has passed and the future jelly needs to be filtered.

We will no longer need berries from it (you can leave a little for decoration), we leave only compote.

We put the strained compote back on the fire and pour the diluted starch into it.

The editors of the Hostess online wish you happiness, health and spring mood! Happy holiday to you and each of you, we send warm greetings! 😘

The most important Orthodox holiday in the coming year falls on April 28th. Preparation, as always, begins in advance and consists in compiling a menu and choosing recipes.

And closer to the main day, people bake Easter, cookies and other goodies. Relatives and friends gather at a beautifully served table, and any hostess will be happy to surprise and feed everyone.

What to cook for Easter, what should be on the menu on the festive Easter table

According to tradition, there should be a variety of treats on the Easter table. Every year, the following dishes take their place on our festive table:

• Easter cake or Easter;
• colored eggs;
• meat dishes;
• fish treats;
• salads;
• snacks.

Each hostess independently decides on the question of what will be the main dish of the Easter table - cottage cheese or dough. Every craftswoman has her favorite Easter recipe. I love various experiments, but I don’t change the Easter recipe. This pastry is a symbol of the holiday, without which it can not do.

The next element of the table is eggs, which are dyed or painted with natural dyes. Today, before the holiday, the country's supermarkets are filled with various accessories, including various stickers.

It is necessary to leave the post gradually, so we use chicken, veal or turkey as meat dishes. It is best to avoid fatty meats. Meat is preferably baked or stewed, served in combination with vegetables and mushrooms. Kholodets is perfect for a holiday; you can cook it from homemade chicken, pork or beef.

Fish lovers are waiting for fish dishes for the holiday. This is the best way to exit the post. It is easily digested and does not burden the stomach and intestines.

In April, fresh herbs and young vegetables already begin. Salads at a festive feast should be light in nature. I use fresh vegetables, add cheese, nuts, rye crackers to them. And dressing for my salads is any vegetable oil or sour cream.

Snack dishes that are served before the main masterpieces take their rightful place on the festive table. There can be a variety of vegetables, cheese, canapés with fish and others.

The Easter table, on which simple dishes and symbols of the holiday will be placed, should have an aesthetic appearance. Here are some basic guidelines for table setting:

1. The choice of tablecloths and napkins, the colors of which symbolize spring.
2. It is better to use colored dishes, but white plates also look elegant, especially if you put a small live flower and a white egg wrapped in a bright ribbon on them.
3. A glass vase filled with quail eggs wrapped in colored foil or chocolate kinders looks harmonious on the table.
4. The baked cake takes center stage. It is necessary to decorate it in the colors of the common table. I use yellow and green candied fruits, chocolate decorations.
5. On folded napkins, you can put a blossoming willow twig and add colored sweets. Many prefer eggs of a solid color, in this case, you need to choose textiles for the table in harmony with them. The best color options are red, orange and green.
6. Fluffy willow balls are in perfect harmony with unpainted quail eggs and linen napkins.

Beautiful, simple and delicious pastries for Easter

Well, how could it be without Easter baking - these main dishes have been on every Easter table since time immemorial. And today without them in any way!

Easter cake

2. Butter must be melted in a water bath or in a microwave.
3. Remove the white of one egg in the cold, I will make glaze from it.
4. To make a dough, you need to dissolve live yeast in milk, a little sugar, part of the flour. Mix all the ingredients and send to a warm place to "earn" the yeast. As soon as the hat appears on the dough, it's time to move on.

6. It is necessary to knead the uncooked dough, cover it with a clean napkin and put it in a warm place. After 2 hours, the dough will rise three times, I upset it and put it on the approach again. At this stage, I introduce raisins.
7. I grease the forms with vegetable oil, fill with dough no more than half.
8. Leave the cakes for another half an hour so that the dough rises. At a temperature of 180 ºС I bake in the oven, usually for 1 hour.
9. I beat the icing with a mixer from chilled protein, powdered sugar and a few drops of lemon juice.
10. Easter cakes are generously smeared with icing, topped with sprinkles.

Easter "Wreath"

I have a great recipe for baking with three toppings so everyone gets a piece.

5. I divide the dough into 3 parts, roll each into a long rectangle. I put the stuffing in the center and pinch the edges. From three bundles with different fillings, weave a braid, connecting the edges.
6. I spread the product in a greased baking sheet, grease with yolk and send it to a warm oven for 30 minutes to distance.
7. I bake at 180 degrees until done.

Such an interesting dish will look like a real egg basket. It is not difficult to create such pastries, for this you will need puff pastry and foil paper.

A large basket of puff pastry will be fragile compared to pastry. So I decided to make some small items.

Baking Ingredients:

• Puff pastry - 500 g;
• Egg - 1 pc.

I use puff pastry at room temperature, so it needs to be defrosted a little. To prepare the mold, I will take a clay flower pot, it is not afraid of high temperatures. I will wrap it with foil, then the finished product will be easier to remove.

1. Roll out the dough.
2. Cut it into three strips 10 mm wide, the rest of the dough - 5 mm.
3. I lay out wide stripes in the form of basket walls so that the edges go down. At the bottom, I lightly press down the dough so that the basket is stable. It is necessary to weave from the bottom, using thin strips.
4. I transfer to a baking sheet.
5. I make a handle from a pigtail, you need to bake it by wrapping an arc of foil.
6. Lubricate with yolk, pre-whipped with a fork, and send to the oven for 30 minutes at a temperature of - 180 C.

Basket for Easter eggs made of puff pastry is very fragile and tender. You need to put eggs in it carefully, everyone will like such a masterpiece.

Juicy cottage cheese Easter

I have tried many recipes for making cottage cheese Easter. But the most delicious I found on the Internet. Now I use only this method of cooking, and it has never let me down. Easter from cottage cheese turns out to be incredibly juicy, with a delicate texture and aroma.

The composition of the products does not differ from others:

• 750 g of sugar;
• 250 g of sour cream;
• Egg - 4 pcs.;
• Raisins - a handful;

2. Mix yolks, sour cream and sugar thoroughly.
3. I combine the curd and egg-sour cream masses, knead until smooth.
4. I pour boiling water over candied fruits, raisins and almonds and leave them in it for half an hour. Almonds are a good idea to fry a little in a pan, then chop with a knife, but not to crumbs.
5. I mix everything into one mass.
6. I line the form with moistened gauze and fill it with curd mass.
7. I wrap the gauze, put the load on top.
8. I stand Easter for 2-3 hours in the room, constantly draining the accumulated whey from the bottom of the form. Then I put it in the refrigerator.

I usually make cottage cheese Easter 2 days before the holiday. During this time, it will infuse and turn out to be dense and elastic. Removing Easter from the mold is quite simple, you need to get it out of the refrigerator and turn it upside down. You can decorate as you wish.

The peculiarity of Easter is that they are prepared from pastry with dried fruits and candied fruits. Any hostess wants her baking to be successful, because she spends her efforts, diligence and a lot of time.

• Sugar - 2 tbsp.;
• Vanilla - 1 sachet;

I make this cake like this:

2. Dissolve yeast in milk and stir.
3. Gradually add the sifted flour to the mixture, knead thoroughly.
4. We cover the dough with a napkin and send it to heat.

11. When the dough has risen, punch it down.

15. At a temperature of 200 ºС Easter is baked in a preheated oven.
16. We take out the baked products from the oven, and put them on the barrel, they cool down.
17. Decorate with frosting to your liking.

The main condition for successful Easter cakes is a good mood, the absence of drafts, noise, screams. When the dough is in the oven, it is not recommended to open the door.

Ready Easter cakes have a pleasant brownish tint, and inside they should not be raw. Easter cake dough is especially soft, airy and tender.

Glaze can be used ready-made, bought in a store, or you can make it yourself from powdered sugar and chilled proteins.

What drinks to serve on the Easter table

Many are interested in whether strong drinks can be served on the festive table. For the Easter holiday, the most suitable variant of alcohol is Cahors church wine.

It is used not only on the Easter table, but also at baptism, wedding, and also in other cases. Such a drink is not chosen by chance, the scriptures indicate the choice of this particular wine. It should be pure, grape, undiluted. The color and consistency of the drink resembles blood.

For a long time, when this wine was not yet known, Orthodox Christians prepared mead or horseradish with the addition of honey for the holiday.

Alcoholic drinks are not prohibited during the celebration, because such a served table cannot do without a bottle of good red wine. But you should always remember the sense of proportion.

For adherents of sobriety, I will advise and share a couple of my unshakable recipes for pleasant drinks for the holiday.

• Orange - 2 pcs.;
• Egg yolks - 4 pcs.;

Easter menu for the festive table - video from Olga Matvey

Bon appetit to you all!

Happy Easter brothers and sisters! And Christ is Risen!

Easter is a great holiday celebrated by all Orthodox people. This is the most important church celebration, when people rejoice at the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the liberation of the world from sins. Preparations for it last from Monday to Saturday, and on Sunday everyone congratulates each other and greets with the words “Christ is Risen”.

Holy Week

Each day of Holy Week before the holiday is dedicated to certain deeds.

1. On Monday, it is customary to clean the whole house, to prepare it for the arrival of spring.
2. Tuesday is reserved for putting clothes and linen in order. On this day, all things need to be washed and ironed.
3. On Wednesday, the house is completely freed from garbage, during this period they are engaged in the purchase of food and eggs for making krashenka.

Maundy Thursday is called so for a reason. On this day, it is customary to bathe in cool water from the very morning, since it is considered the most healing on this Thursday. This is the time for preparing eggs and Easter cakes.

4. Good Friday does not allow you to do any household chores; you cannot have fun and have fun on this day.
5. Great Saturday is the time of preparation for the Easter feast. Easter cakes are baked, Easter is being made, eggs are painted.

Easter is an unusual holiday, so the table should be distinguished by splendor and richness, an abundance of dishes and elegant decoration. Naturally, Easter cakes are placed in the center of it, surrounded by painted testicles, of which there should be exactly twelve.

Previously, it was customary for wealthy families to put 48 different treats on the table. The number was not chosen by chance, it is how many days Great Lent lasts. At the same time, food was on the table all Sunday, so that any person who came to visit could freely taste the treat. An invitation from the hosts was not required on this day.

A poorly decorated and meager table was considered the worst shame. The peculiarity of the Easter table was that there were no hot dishes on it. Therefore, maintenance by the owners was not required. They could freely celebrate and enjoy the beautiful day with the guests.

Passover must-haves

Traditional, native Russian recipes are used to prepare food for Easter. Currently, painted painted eggs, rich Easter cake and Easter are always set on the table. Previously, on Saturday, they go to church for consecration.

In the old days, meat dishes were also served on the table - baked hams and fried veal, numerous jelly and aspic, meat pates, rolls, vegetable and mushroom snacks, sweet and meat porridges, game dishes.

The peculiarity of the Easter table was that it was customary to cook a lot of sweets for it: delicious and fragrant buns, honey gingerbread of various shapes.

Eggs on the Easter table are not only painted and painted. They need to be able to present beautifully. To do this, you can make an Easter wreath.

How to make an edible wreath for Easter

• 200 ml of warmed milk;
• 1 kg of flour;
• 1 pack of dry yeast;

Secrets of Easter cakes

The tradition of serving Easter cakes has gone from the time when Jesus ate bread with his disciples so that they would believe in his resurrection. Therefore, on Easter it is customary to serve Easter cake to guests and relatives.

It was baked on Friday, and the dough was set overnight. On Saturday, it was customary to wear it to church for a service for consecration. Currently, you can buy these pastries in the store, but it is much more pleasant and joyful to eat your own food.

Interestingly, a properly cooked Easter cake retains its softness and aroma for 40 days after this bright holiday. Baking Easter cake is a responsible and important matter. In order to get a real product, you must follow many mandatory rules.

Often there is a problem that the inside of the product is still raw, and the top starts to burn. The foil that covers the cakes from above will help to avoid this. Remove the foil before taking the mold out of the oven. Readiness is checked just with the help of a stick that was previously inserted in the middle. It must be completely dry.

Forms for Easter cakes are chosen tin, but if they are not at hand, aluminum saucepans are quite suitable. The container should be no more than 2 liters, this is enough to get a delicious baked cake.

Finished products are decorated with icing, nuts, confectionery powders. Above, there is always the inscription "ХВ" and a cross.

Passover Recipe

The third obligatory dish of the Easter table can be prepared in various ways. But most often Easter is made from cottage cheese. To prepare a delicious, sweet chocolate Easter you will need:

All products must be fresh!

Step-by-step instruction:

• Easter has the shape of a truncated pyramid. If the hostess does not have a special container for cooking Easter, you can use a cardboard form. In this case, the walls should be covered with cling film.
• The main component of this dish is cottage cheese. It must be fresh, with a delicate texture and little moisture. Therefore, it is recommended to first get rid of excess serum. To do this, it is placed in a canvas or gauze bag, on which the press is placed. The night is enough for excess liquid to glass.

An important component of Easter is eggs. Their choice should be taken very responsibly. If it is not possible to purchase fresh village eggs, you should definitely check the expiration date in the store.

This is very important, since the eggs are placed raw on Easter, they do not undergo heat treatment. Before use, they are washed in warm water with the addition of soda. Eggs are broken one at a time into a separate cup, only then they can be placed in cottage cheese.

Homemade wine has traditionally been considered the main drink on the Easter table. Today, stronger alcoholic beverages are in use. But, drinking such drinks is fraught with health. And a couple of glasses of homemade wine for Easter is not only not condemned, but, on the contrary, can help the body process food better after fasting.

An important success factor in home winemaking is harvesting the grapes at a time when they have reached full maturity. At this time, the berries contain the maximum amount of sugar. What is decisive in the fermentation process.

1. After harvesting the grapes, the berries must be separated from the brush and placed in a container. If a lot of grapes are harvested, then 60-liter stainless steel tanks are suitable for this purpose. Before placing the grapes in a container, the berries must be crushed by hand. Containers with grapes should be placed in a room with a temperature of 10 -25 degrees
2. During the fermentation of grapes, it must be periodically stirred.
3. When sediment appears, the wine must be filtered. For this purpose, you can use gauze or a nylon stocking. Sugar must be added to the purified liquid. One liter of wine requires one cup of sugar. Stir wine until sugar dissolves.
4. We wait until the wine ferments and pour it into three-liter jars. We leave 2 cm from the throat to the level of the wine. We roll up the jars with lids and make a hole in their middle. We insert a medical hose into the hole. It should be above the wine. We coat the hole with the hose with plasticine for tightness. We insert the opposite end of the hose into a jar of water, making a water seal
5. During fermentation, sediment is formed in the wine. It needs to be removed periodically (pouring the wine into other jars, leaving a sediment) and repeating everything from the beginning
6. Fermentation time depends on various factors and can vary greatly. Taste the wine periodically, add sugar (if required) and as soon as you like the drink, close the jar with a nylon lid and leave it for storage
