Easter Bird's Nest Bread

Submitted by: Dorese

Home Town: Lewiston, Idaho, USA

Living In: Moscow, Idaho, USA

This decorative, tasty bread looks like a bird's nest when finished. Use raw eggs that you've colored to put in the center. They cook right along with the bread! This is a favorite in my family, and we have it for breakfast every Easter Sunday with the eggs we've colored. This Easter bread is especially tasty because it has a faint hint of lemon in it. My favorite way to eat it is warmed up, with butter spread on top.
