Tips

Trivia
In the ancient villages of Puglia, these Easter snacks were offered as a token of gratitude from the women to their menfolk. They are made during Holy Week, or possibly the week before. Its round shape is said to have bring good fortune and symbolizes the birth of new life. This sweet snack with its attached egg is also made in other regions outside Puglia. For example, we look up the ‘menih’ or ‘monk’ that is a traditional Easter sweet bread in Slovenia.
