EASTER PASKA BUNS
Steps:
- Add the yeast, water and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment (or use a large bowl and a hand mixer with a dough hook attachment). Let rise for 2 minutes.
- Add 6 cups of the flour and salt to the bowl with the yeast mixture.
- Zest the lemon and orange and add the zest to the bowl with the flour and yeast mixture.
- Peel the orange and lemon and add the flesh of the fruit to your blender (be sure to remove the seeds).
- Add the milk, melted butter, eggs and sugar to the blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
- Add the contents of the blender to the bowl of the mixer and mix on low speed until a sticky dough forms.
- Add the additional 1 to 1 1/2 cup flour as the mixer kneads the dough, 1/2 cup at a time until the dough becomes less sticky, but still soft.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rise for 90 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 30 equal pieces and roll each piece into a round bun shape. Place the buns on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
- Cover with a kitchen towel and rise for about 20 minutes (this is a good time to preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Bake the buns at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 18 minutes, or until the buns are light golden brown on top.
- Let the buns cool on the baking trays until completely cool.
- To a medium bowl, add the room temperature cream cheese and room temperature butter and cream them together with a hand mixer or wooden spoon.
- Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and mix well until blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- Add a few drops of milk if necessary to loosen up the frosting so it's easily spreadable.
- Spread a little frosting over each of the cooled buns and sprinkle with sprinkles for decoration.
- Enjoy immediately, or store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.

EASTER CHEESE MOLD: PASHKA
When made from homemade cottage cheese, pashka is at its best. The homemade cheese is smooth, creamy and has just the right slightly sour taste. If using farmer's cheese, try to use Friendship brand, available at most supermarkets. Serve pashka with slices of Easter coffee cake.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese or farmer's cheese, sugar, cream cheese, and egg yolks, stirring to mix.
- In batches, process the mixture in a food processor, adding an equal amount of cream to each batch, until completely smooth. Transfer back to the bowl.
- Stir in the ground almonds, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla extract. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the cheese mixture along with the raisins. Mix thoroughly.
- Line a clean, unused 8-cup flower pot with a double layer of rinsed and squeezed-dry cheesecloth. Spoon the cheese mixture into the lined pan, then fold the ends of the cheesecloth neatly over the top. Place a saucer on the cheesecloth, then a 2-pound weight, such as a can, on the saucer. Put the flower pot in a bowl large enough for the liquid to drain into. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
- Empty the bowl. Unmold the pashka onto a serving plate and carefully remove the cheesecloth. Decorate with candied fruit, pressing some of the fruit into the pashka to form the letters XP, which stands for Khristos voskres ("Christ has risen").
UKRAINIAN EASTER CHEESE (PASKA)
This unbaked cheese Paska was one of my mother Sofia's traditional Ukrainian Easter recipes. She passed away in 1995 so I have been making it ever since. It is easy to make, very rich, and a hit every time. Decorate with the fruits of your choice.

Steps:
- Mix 1 teaspoon sugar, water, and yeast together in a small bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
- Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Pour into a large bowl. Stir in 6 tablespoons butter until melted. Let mixture cool to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), about 5 minutes.
- Mix remaining sugar, yeast mixture, 2 egg yolks, and salt into the milk mixture. Add 3 1/3 cups flour; knead dough until shiny and elastic.

- Combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, 2 egg yolks, orange liqueur, orange zest, and 1 vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 6 tablespoons flour together in a bowl. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives. Stir in almonds.
- Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Punch down dough and divide in half. Roll 1 half into a rectangle 1/8-inch thick; keep the other half covered. Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture over the dough. Fold in the short ends of the dough and roll up tightly like a jelly roll. Transfer to a prepared loaf pan. Repeat with remaining dough and cream cheese mixture.
