This bread is a favorite in our family. It's very festive and is a wonderful breakfast bread or great for a snack. We have enjoyed this recipe many times, and I even sell loaves throughout the holidays. Eat plain or top with powdered sugar and cinnamon or even cream cheese icing and walnuts! Delish either way.
