When I was little, one of the holiday dishes I most looked forward to was a delicate loaf of bread slicked with a sweet glaze and served as part of my family’s Easter meal. Many Easter breads<\/a> are braided, often studded with whole colored eggs baked into the top. This recipe is a more straightforward loaf, one long braid topped with colorful sprinkles.<\/p>\n

While similar to a traditional Italian Easter bread<\/a> enriched with eggs, this recipe includes ricotta cheese, which adds a rich, fuller flavor. It’s so delicious that you won’t want to wait until Easter to make it. Change the sprinkles (or delete them altogether) and serve this ricotta bread recipe any time of year.<\/p>\n
