The Easter Colomba symbolizes peace and reconciliation; giving a colomba at Easter is a sign of peace and love for the recipient, a clear reference to the story of the great flood. After the rain, Noah, after seven days, sent out a dove that returned in the evening with an olive branch, a sign of God\u2019s forgiveness toward mankind, and from then on it became a symbol of peace. A symbol of peace so soft and delicious that we feast on it at Easter, but it\u2019s even better to make it at home, with your own hands and in the flavors you love most. You can personalize it: omit raisins, as I did, skip candied fruit, add chocolate chips, or fill it with luscious creams. Today I share the classic colomba: a very fragrant leavened cake with orange in the dough and almonds on top. For this recipe I used dehydrated sourdough starter with brewer's yeast, a great solution for those who don\u2019t have fresh sourdough at hand; it\u2019s available in most supermarkets. Let\u2019s see how to make it, and please don\u2019t rush \u2014 resting times are very important, as is the handling of the dough.
