Italian Ricotta Easter Bread\u00a0\"\ud83c\udf38\"<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ingredients<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For the dough:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
4 cups all-purpose flour<\/div>\n
1\/2 cup granulated sugar<\/div>\n
1 tbsp baking powder<\/div>\n
1\/2 tsp salt<\/div>\n
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese<\/div>\n
1\/2 cup unsalted butter, softened<\/div>\n
3 large eggs<\/div>\n
1 tsp vanilla extract<\/div>\n
1\/2 tsp almond extract (optional)<\/div>\n
1\/4 cup milk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For the glaze & topping:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
1 cup powdered sugar<\/div>\n
1\u20132 tbsp milk<\/div>\n
Sprinkles (pastel for Easter!)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Directions<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Preheat oven:<\/div>\n
Set your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Mix dry ingredients:<\/div>\n
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Cream wet ingredients:<\/div>\n
In a separate bowl, beat the butter and ricotta together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, almond extract (if using), and milk.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Combine:<\/div>\n
Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet, stirring just until a soft, sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix\u2014it should stay tender and light.<\/div>\n
Rena\u2019s Tip: The dough is sticky; flour your hands lightly when shaping to prevent it from sticking.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Shape and bake:<\/div>\n
Form the dough into a large braided ring, or divide into smaller loaves. Bake for 30\u201335 minutes for a large loaf or 20\u201325 minutes for smaller loaves, until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Glaze and decorate:<\/div>\n
While the bread cools, whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread and top with festive pastel sprinkles.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
