Thanks to Sharla for adding this recipe.
My grandma made loaves of this for all 22 of us that would come home for Easter. We would eat it for breakfast and many times in between. She would always ice it and put sprinkles on top and we'd fight for the end piece.

Easter Bread
Ingredients:
Add these first 3 ingredients and let sit for 10 min.
• 3 Tbsp. yeast
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tsp. white sugar
• Dissolve 1- 4oz. serving size pkg. of
instant lemon pudding in 2 cups milk.
Add yeast mixture with 3 cups flour.
Let rise (I usually give it at least an
hour).
Add
• 4 beaten eggs
• 1 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• rind and juice of 1 orange
• Add approximately 6 cups flour or enough
to make soft dough. (I usually add a 1/2
|
|
- 1 cup more) and let rise at least another hour or so.
Directions:
1. Put dough into 4 loaf pans.
2. Let rise again.
3. Line pans with parchment paper and bake at 325 degrees F. for 30 min or so. (Check the bread, as soon as
its a light brown on top it should be done).
4. Freeze the loaves if you like without icing.
5. I just make a regular icing to put on top. About 1/4 cup melted margarine, a cup and 1/2 of icing sugar,
tsp. vanilla, and add some warm water until it's a nice consistency. Spread over loaf and add sprinkles
if you want.
