Easter Meal

They have risen! Such a good thing for Easter Sunday don't you think? These are the yeast buns I made for the smoked beef brisket that Jay is preparing for our guests. I really like making breads--there's just nothing that compares with that warm, yeasty aroma as it bakes. One year for Easter I made this Easter egg bread.

You actually put the colored, raw eggs in the dough and then bake the whole thing. I was afraid the eggs might explode in the oven, but they turned out perfectly cooked. For the final touch at our Easter meal, look at the clever cake our friend baked and brought for the celebration!
