An Italian tradition to symbolise fertility. Sweet bread baked with whole shelled eggs in the centre then sprinkled with hundreds and thousands.
This recipe worked beautifully! thank you for sharing it with us all, my family loved the taste! Buona Pasqua! - 17 Apr 2017
This is a very tasty bread. I loved the recipe. Perfect just the way it is. One reviewer had stated that the breads are not called pregnant dolls, I come from a traditional Italian family and my Grandmother refered to them as "a fertal Goddess" I think in reference to Spring being the time for new life. Which is why we have eggs for Easter. So all names lead to the same great bread. - 08 Feb 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This sounds just like what I use to make but we called it a "Birds Nest". Still very tasty. - 07 Mar 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
