Jidáše

Jidáše or Judas bun is a traditional Easter bread that's shaped into a rolled rope or a noose as a reference to Judas who hanged himself after he had betrayed Jesus. They're made with a combination of flour, butter, egg yolks, cream, sugar, honey, yeast, salt, lemon zest, and sometimes nutmeg. After they've been baked, the buns are usually brushed with a glaze consisting of honey, butter, and lemon juice, and the buns are then typically eaten cold. According to local beliefs, if you eat one jidáše during the sunrise on Maundy Thursday, you'll be protected from bee stings, snake bites, and human betrayal for the whole following year.
