Easter Bread

 

Bread has long played an important role in religious ceremonies and holidays. This is true in many cultures and cuisines. Holiday breads are often baked in symbolic shapes and include special ingredients. They can be made sweet or adding Anise. Some bake it like a bread or cookie and will either insert a raw egg in the dough which will cook in the oven or boil the egg first, color it and then insert it in the dough. Toppings can be added with slithered almonds or sprinkles. Here i made a sweet bread without anise with colored eggs and added sprinkles.
