What traditions do you remember from Easter?  Traditions become the fabric of a family.  And it only takes 2 years to start a new tradition. 

My cookbook Celebrate with Babs is available where all cookbooks are sold and shares many holiday traditions including my grandmother’s Easter bread. 
Celebrate Easter with us by sharing your tradition below or perhaps….consider starting the Easter bread tradition  XO Babs 

🐣INGREDIENTS: 
1 - 1⁄4 oz pkg instant dry yeast
11⁄4 cups whole milk,warmed
Pinch of kosher salt
1⁄3 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
1⁄2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon zest
3 large eggs, room temperature, divided
31⁄2–41⁄2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
Sprinkles, to decorate
6 raw, dyed Easter eggs

🐣INSTRUCTIONS:
To the bowl of a stand mixer  fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the yeast, milk, salt, butter, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and 2 eggs. Mix on medium speed until combined. 

Switch to the dough hook attachment. Add 13⁄4 cups  flour and mix, working the  our into the egg mixture. Mix in more  our, a little at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky, up to  23⁄4 cups more  flour.XO Babs

Turn the dough onto a lightly  floured work surface and knead it for 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place the dough in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 14 inches long and 1 inch wide.

Take two ropes and twist together. Then with the twist, form a circle. Repeat to make 6 circle “wreaths.” Place the wreaths on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover with plastic wrap, place in a warm spot, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 egg with 1 teaspoon water. After the wreaths have doubled in size, brush with the egg wash. Sprinkle with the sprinkles. Place a dyed egg in the center of each wreath.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the wreath is golden brown. #easter #easterbread
