Italian Easter Pane di Pasqua

Colorful  Easter eggs and bread of all shapes, sizes, and flavors add to the festive sights and sounds of the Holiday   …..but…
While most children were awakened on Easter morning with thoughts of seeing an Easter basket filled with chocolate bunnies and jelly beans, I was always  awakened by the odor of fresh baking bread (Easter bread that is)..an aroma that would make its’ way throughout the house and up to  my room .. waking me up and ’calling me’ to the kitchen table… the sight of this bread sprinkled with brightly colored sprinkles and multi-colored Easter eggs always added an extra festive touch to the day.  You can choose to add colored sprinkles and colored Easter eggs or go rustic with brown eggs.
Traditionally shaped in a wreath form or “corona di nove”, some bake theirs in the form of rabbits or fancy Easter baskets….any way you make them they are a  special tradition to be experienced…..
