Colomba Pasquale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colomba Pasquale ("Easter Dove" in English) is an Easter counterpart of the two well known Italian Christmas desserts, Panettone and Pandoro.
The dough for the Colomba is made in a similar manner, with flour, eggs, sugar, natural yeast and butter, but usually only contains candied peel and no raisins (unlike panettone).
It is then is fashioned into a dove shape (colomba in Italian) and finally is topped with coarse sugar and almonds before being baked.
