I did not know what would happen with this attempt of making an Easter dove so I put al the above ingredients together ..................
Ingredients
sourdough
manitoba flour
00 flour
3 eggs
approxx 100 gr excellent butter
some milk
a little yeast
juice of a red orange
grated lemon rind
a glug of rhum
half a glass of spiced tea (cinnamon cardamom clove lemon)
vanilla sugar approxx 2,5 hg for a dove of 1kg 500 gr
a little salt
Method
................... starting from my sourdough and letting it rise overnight once only with flours and liquids first, in the morning I added salt butter and eggs gave it a shape, putting the beak in a corner of the oven tray, so that at least that would stay where I wanted while rising, and the tail in the opposite one I used two raisins to look like eyes and a dried apricot with a peeled almond in it to simulate the beak ............ I made some cuts with scissors on the back to simulate the feathers
I let it rise again th whole morning and kept in the oven at 180° for 45 mins
it tastes really good and the crust is wonderful
I perfectly aware I will not be able to do the same recipe again, that\'s my challenge and divertimento
the same I wish to you .......... happy baking
