I must warn you, this recipe is not quick to prepare, since it takes several steps including time for rising the dough, that has to be done twice, so you have to set aside about three hours of your time to do them (of course we can do other things during the 2 hours while the dough doubles it size).  But certainly, all this time and effort is worth the result.
