It’s time for February’s Favorite Family Recipes blog hop. This month I’m sharing my recipe for Italian Easter Sweet Bread. It’s an Easter favorite at our house along with several other Italian-American dishes. It’s traditional to add colored eggs and sprinkles as decoration. I sometimes don’t add the eggs to the braid. Sprinkles are a must.

I have seen pictures of this Easter Bread many times but didn’t know the stories behind it. I like the colored eggs and especially the sprinkles!
