EMERIL LAGASSE'S PORTUGUESE SWEET BREAD



Emeril Lagasse's Portuguese Sweet Bread image

This is a recipe that has been handed down for generations in Emeril's family. It is his family's favorite bread to have at Easter, but can be made at any time. This recipe makes five small loaves. It is very hands-on, requiring kneading but it works very well. The prep time is for rising. Note: If making for Easter, you can add a colored Easter egg to the top of each loaf during the final rising. You would need 5 colored Easter eggs, one for each loaf.
