Rina's Favorite Italian Crostoli

 

Rina’s Favorite Crostoli                

Rina submits this recipe from Australia.  She and her husband are of Italian descent, so Rina loves to cook Italian!  The directions and comments are very short and simple, and delightful to read.  We encourage you use your creative juices if you have never made this before.  However, if you need further instructions on how to make or cut the dough, we suggest you go online and take a sneak peek at pictures to get an idea. 

“I have attached a recipe that we enjoy to cook up for celebrations sometimes.  I do them on my own or with others helping.  This recipe is a little easier to do [than some of the other recipes].”
