Colomba morta (dead dove)

When Cinzia ask me if I would like to join her, Elra, Lien, Natalia and Rosa to bake a real colomba (easter dove) I said immediately yes. A real colomba because the original is made only with sourdough and no yeast. I was a bit scared because until today all my attempts with sweet sourdough ended as a disaster: Pandoro, Panettone and Brioche. And unfortunately it was the same with the colomba. It didn't rise at all even the sourdough was quite active. I don't know why I'm not able to bake this kind of bread. So it comes today - on our colomba revealing day I have nothing to reveal. My colomba landed on the compost. R.I.P. my little colomba.

But wait, Cinzia announced the Happy Baking Easter event.

Everybody is invited to bake a colomba, and the best, you can follow the recipe you like. So I will try it again!

Last but not least check out the blogs of Cinzia, Elra, Lien, Natalia and Rosa to see their colomba beauties.

Oh Zorra....

I am glad you are not giving up. Mine didn't really turn out as it suppose to. The one with sourdough didn't rise as high, and the texture was completely wrong. It was not shreddy at all. So yes, I'll be practicing a lot until I get it right. Good luck with yours. I know Rosa had successfully made hers, including the shreddy texture.
Good luck dear,
elra

@Elra

At least yours did rise, mine moved about 2 mm even I added some yeast. ;-) I hope next one will be good because I hate to waste food.

Rosa (guest) - 5. Apr, 11:35

I'm so sorry about that... I hope you'll give it another try!

Cheers,

Rosa

@Natalia

I waited more than 20 hours. ;-) But in the meantime I baked a colomba, a yeasted one to be on the safe side. ;-)
