Yes, it's November, but here's some Paska {Easter} bread! This Eastern European bread is often included in the basket of food taken to church to be blessed at Easter time. A sponge {yeast, milk, flour} is left to rest for 30 minutes and then combined with: butter, sugar, eggs, flour, rum, vanilla, raisins and mace {which I had never heard of; it's made of the covering of nutmeg seeds}. Some of the dough is set aside, braided and placed on top of the loaves before being baked for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
