Shaped in a rounded braid, the colored eggs that "nest" in this bread, look appropriately "Easter-ish". Italian Easter bread is similar to the Greek braided bread but is served with multi-colored, raw eggs inset into the bread. The finished bread resembles a braided "nest" in which the eggs sit. In addition, as with the Russian Kulich, the bread is covered with a confectioners' icing and colored sprinkles.
