Finally the time has come for us Orthodox to celebrate Easter! Accompany the delicacies of the festive table with an original homemade lamb-shaped bread that will impress all your guests. The tradition originates from Germany. Enjoy Easter and Spring!
Using a busting brush, grease the baking mould. Stuff the lamb hooves, tail and ears with black sesame seeds. Spread sesame and black sesame seeds all over the surface of the form. Put a raisin on the eye.
Saute in a little oil the diced bacon, onion and bell peppers until they are just crisp. Add a pinch of salt and set aside to cool.
Place all other ingedients, apart from cheese, into a large bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes until dough is elastic and smooth.
Cover dough with a damp teatowel and let it rise in a warm place.
Add bacon, vegetables and cheese into the dough and mix well. Fill the baking mould with the dough and leave to rise until dough has reached the rim.
Bake in a preheated oven (at 180° fan) for 50 to 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven.
Allow the cake to cool slightly and then take it out of the mould. Serve warm or cold cutting in slices.
