This recipe for Inguti (Easter bread baked on Good Friday) was published in an article about Natalina Cherubino by Dr Felicity Newman that appeared in the Autumn 09 issue of Spice. The recipe was provided by Natalina Cerubino's cousin Rosa Lamberto

1 kg plain flour
4 tsp dried yeast
600 ml warm milk
120 ml oil
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
soft boiled eggs for decoration, unpeeled

Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Dissolve the yeast in a little warm milk and add to the flour along with the remaining milk, oil, sugar and beaten eggs. Knead the mixture until it is smooth. Take a piece of the dough and form it into a ring or other shape. Any shape can be made – birds, rabbits, chickens with the egg placed in it. Natalina lets her grandchildren paint the eggs first.

Place an egg in the dough shape and repeat the process till all the dough is used.

Place on a clean cloth, cover and leave in a warm place to prove. The dough should
roughly double in size. Bake in a moderate oven till golden brown. Happy Easter
