This bread turned out absolutely delicious! A few changes I made to the recipe: I only used 2 tablesp. sugar, I used 1 tsp anise seed, added 2 tsp grated orange peel and omitted the mixed candied fruit. I made a 3-strand braid (1 long braid about 12 inches, not circular). It only needed to bake for 20 minutes on the bottom rack. After cooling, I lightly glazed it with an icing made from powdered sugar and fresh orange juice. The eggs did not cook thoroughly, so next time I will precook them. Fantastic!!

This was really very good. I took the lazy route (I was baking ENOUGH stuff this Easter) and plopped everything in no particular order in the bread maker on the dough cycle. It worked great.

I made this for Easter and it was a big hit. It reminds me of a recipe my Italian Grandmother used to make at Easter. I left out the almonds and fruit. I will probably make this year round without the eggs. Thanks for a great recipe.

Just the way my mom used to make it! I'm not one for candied fruit, I always leave it out and I like a little extra anise it there. The almonds are a new twist for me and I loved it. So happy to see this recipe in here. Beautiful for Easter table. And it makes THE BEST toast in the morning. Thanks!
