Spring is budding out all over! No matter how many years go by, each time that first little sunshiney yellow daffodil peeks it’s ruffled head toward the sky it is a source of wonderment. Mother Nature shakes off the cold boughs of winter and paints the landscape vibrantly to wake up the earth. Thoughts turn toward azaleas, bunnies, Passover, Easter, and of course – Confetti Bread!

Always a special treat, whether for breakfast or dessert, it yields the rainbow colors of springtime within its yeasty layers, an Easter morning tradition at our home! A bread machine makes it easy to make a few extra loaves to be shared with family and friends.

Savor the spring!
