My mom and I have been making this recipe for the last 6-8 years. It's so yummy we've made it our own tradition to bake some up every Easter. This recipe is easily halved, which is nice since I don't have 5 bread pans and only recently bought a bowl big enough to hold a whole recipe. It also makes nice rolls. To address a previous post: I do find that the dough is fairly sticky after adding the flour in the amount stated in the recipe. I just keep adding and/or kneading flour into it until it is smooth and elastic - like any other yeast-type bread recipe. This last time, I started awfully late in the day and only let it rise for 5 hours before separating it into pans for the final rising. It came out just fine. I love how big they get in the oven!

Thank you Emeril.
This wonderful bread has become a tradition on easter in our home since I first saw you make it some few years ago.

This is the best bread recipe I've ever tasted! I make it at least twice a month. My husband and Kids love this bread. As soon as it comes out of the oven, It's out of my sight and into the kids mouth! Love it!!!!!
