• 
• * Baking times may vary depending on the size of the molds and the heating mode.
• * When baking any Easter cakes, preheat the oven to 100 * -120 *. And the first 20 minutes I do not increase the heating. Then I add heating up to 160 *. For liter tins and tins from condensed milk (for reference), the total baking time is 30-40 minutes.

Note

Hello, dear forum users
Today I am with an untimely recipe. When it was "on time" I was engaged in the process. I didn't have time to treat the princess either. And I don't want to postpone it for "later" either. Who knows what will happen? .. Close people with us here and now
But there will be time to practice
In order not to burden the already cumbersome recipe, I will use the "Note" for the subsequent story.
The recipe has its own history of origin ...
Part 1.
It is connected with the fact that for some time now people with diabetes mellitus began to appear in my environment. With a variety of celebrations and feasts, situations of awkwardness arose, due to the fact that they were not allowed something. With explanations, sighs or without them, but with invariable feelings of deprivation, incompleteness of the holiday. And mental discomfort for me. Nothing terrible, but the sediment is available.
The situation with the "main" table was quickly leveled off. What can not be said about the "sweet" table ...
Yes, there were sweets, purchased and specially prepared, but the main cake, Easter cakes "like everyone else" for the Feast of Christ's Resurrection were either in the "inaccessible zone" or in very limited quantities. Everyone is enjoying themselves, and some - zas. Someone has a piece of cake, and someone has a useful cookie. Everything is also clear to everyone, but notes of sadness and sadness are read ...
Of course, I'm exaggerating a little, but only a little.
Continued in "Part 3"
Part 2.
Thesis.
There was a time when, from time to time, categorical statements were made about bread, like many other products, about the harmfulness of its use and the desirability of its exclusion (or minimization) in the diet: for the sick, healthy and on a diet.
Antithesis 1.
1. Somehow my mother-in-law got sick. There was a disorder with the heart. And among other recommendations, it was said that she apparently eats little bread. Everyone was surprised, but it was so. Really not an amateur. I don't remember what the trick is, but there is some benefit from bread for the heart muscle. The situation was long before I heard about the dangers of eating bread, so I don't remember the nuances, and I did not ask about bread then. There were other topical questions.
With my heart, the situation returned to normal. But since then, mom eats bread herself and invites others (even controls)
Antithesis 2.
Somehow I accidentally got on the broadcast of a TV program about the European Fair in the Baltics. One of the days was dedicated to bakers. It talked about bread as an alternative to fast food. The alternative was healthy bread with various additives, conveniently cut "under the pocket" of a business suit. Shown ladies' and men's configuration options.It was said that a piece of wholesome bread will always be in place: it will go well with coffee and tea; and to a friendly conversation, and to a business conversation, etc.
After this program, I began to look for sources to study the theoretical basis on bread and bakery, trying to remember what and how my grandmother did.
In the course of immersion in the material, at work I introduced a "bread diet". We had fun with the girls with different breads. On average - minus 3 kg per month.
So, along the way, my bread dainties arose.
Part 3.
I wrote earlier in recipes that the development of HP began with sourdough bread. This helped to diversify the diet of loved ones (relatives and friends) of people with diabetes: desirable healthy cereals alternated with healthy bread made from flour of the desired cereals and grains.
All of the above did not happen in one day and a year, of course.
This is how the approbation and selection of different recipes gradually took place.
Today in front of you is a selected TOP 4 for creating sweets for elegant gourmands and not only ...
Now my "non-standard" guests do not squeeze into the sofa from awkwardness, do not feel deprived, do not lower their eyes, do not deny, they say "I don’t like sweet things since childhood." Everyone has their own treat or favorite treat. On the festive table, next to ordinary sweets, bread cakes, pastries and Easter cakes take their place of honor, which everyone wants to try and enjoy.
And joy to the mistress
Let's create together

Hello again, my dear guests
I invite you for the purpose of treating and joint creativity, in fact (right) of living in the same territory - our beloved HP

[Marysya27]

Marysya27, Allochka, thanks for the recipes. For my family are relevant. Everything is in my bookmarks.

[Marysya27]

Marysya27,: swoon: well, you also worked hard .. it’s necessary to arrange so much in just one time .... you’re a heroine. There is no limit to my gratitude (you know why ...) and I will also say that what I read, where about minus 3kg .. for me it's true ..

before NG, she baked almost every day, then cakes, then chapatki and of course she constantly chewed a lot of them ... and surprisingly even lost weight, and then the men parted and like me and my daughters nafig flour ... and in a couple of months I recovered again. ... that's when I started to think - the bread cracked; I lost weight, I didn't use it, I got better .. kapets You definitely need to bake the right bread

Thank you so much for your work, interesting information and sooooo useful

Allochka, you are a great fellow! Directly admire! Do not just prepare a table for family and guests, but also take into account their different problems and needs! You are very sincere and attentive! Bravo!

[$ vetLana]

$ vetLana, Svetlana777, Svetlanushki, Lilyalili, Lilenka, thank you, my good for the kind words

where about minus 3kg .. for me it's true

Svetushka, it's true, it's true, it's true The girls and I at work, however, mostly indulged in sourdough bread. Various tasty and healthy. We will definitely talk about this. We will share our experience and observations

[Marysya27]

Marysya27, you and I seem to think in the same direction. I also baked a cake from the Central House of flour for Easter, only I added cocoa to it so that, in my opinion, the color for the cake was unsuitable for masking. Of course, not Easter cake, but a sweet (I have with stevioside) bun, but for those who are deprived of the opportunity to eat real Easter cakes, this is quite an adequate replacement. And you just have a variety -

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, glad to welcome

Marysya27, you and I seem to be thinking in the same direction.

Anna, this pleases and is so important for living in the same territory and joint creativity

Of course, not Easter cake, ...

Anna, if everyone does his own personal name, then this is imperceptible. In diversity, accentuation is blurred, concealed. When all the cakes are different, then all are real And the basket is full, and everything with its very real Easter cake
In this recipe, cakes are matched to one thematic line.And there is also the line "The best for men": cakes like "Beef Wellington" - little dough, a lot of meat; bread with bacon (cracklings), onions and paprika, etc. Women's - with freaks: playing with color; or by the type of a monkey with different yummy Children's line: the same with different sprinkles or different with the same.
Of course this is if necessary. And if not, then it is traditionally different

Something like this:
