Description
This lovely and unusual loaf is a holiday tradition. To make it, a yeast dough is formed into two balls, with each ball wrapped around a hard boiled egg. The remaining dough is shaped into ropes and then criss crossed atop the two balls and the whole things is crushed with an egg wash to encourage a golden brown crust during baking. The dough itself is sweet and spiced with cinnamon and anise. It's easy to see why it's become such a classic.
