Gubana
I usually do Colomba di pasqua for Easter, but this year I decided to do something different. I cracked open Cresci and tried the Gubana recipe. here it is fresh out the oven.

it did taste good, maybe a little too sweet for me. My fault it called for apricot puree, but I used preserves. has a wonderful thready crumb like a well kneaded brioche. will make again probably
