Wherever Greeks have settled in America many of the housewives still mark the end of Lent by producing several kinds of traditional breads, including Lambropsomo, or Easter bread. Lambropsomo may or may not incorporate eggs that have been hard boiled and dyed red; usually one egg is centered in a round leaf with a cross formed over it, or four red eggs will be nestled into a braided loaf. Our recipe calls for one loaf of each of these shapes. In some households the same bread without the red egg decoration is baked and served on Sunday throughout the year.
Yield: 2 round loaves
