The following recipe for an Easter bread comes from Natalie Duprey.
This makes 1 ring loaf and in less quantity Than the greek Easter Bread.
I thought you may all enjoy it for Easter.All these sweet egg breads are
very similar in nature. Portugese sweet egg bread is my favorite though and
if any have a good recipe for it Id appreciate it! Joan

pinching ends to seal. Place a raw dyed egg inbetween the twisted strands.
