At this time of year most people have chocolate eggs, chicks or rabbits on their minds. Except for me! I look forward to my Sicilian Easter Broad (Cuddura Cu the ova)a traditional braided Easter bread baked with eggs nestled in the dough.
This is the gift that children in Sicily receive each Easter (at least they did back in my mother’s day) and a tradition that I now continue with my own family.
Currrow . can also be prepared with a lightly sweetened cookie dough decorated with sprinkles or icing as in these Sicilian Easter cookies with eggs or with a sweet leavened dough as in this braided Easter bread with eggs.
But at our house, just as it was at my nonna’s house in Sicily, we celebrate Easter with this bread version which is perfect for enjoying with the baked eggs!
