Easter Bread Loaf

A symbol of renewal and celebration, Easter Egg Bread is a beautifully braided, lightly sweetened Italian bread enriched with butter, eggs, and a hint of citrus, then crowned with vibrant, dyed eggs nestled into the dough before baking. This golden, pillowy loaf is soft, airy, and delicately flavored, making it perfect for Easter brunch or as a special treat throughout the season.

The colored eggs, baked right into the braid, represent new life and rebirth, making this bread not only delicious but also deeply symbolic. Often finished with a dusting of pearl sugar, it’s as stunning as it is satisfying—perfect for slicing, toasting, or enjoying with a slather of butter.

Whether shared at a festive gathering or sent as a heartfelt gift, our handcrafted Easter Egg Bread brings warmth, tradition, and a touch of sweetness to your celebration. A true Italian Easter classic, it’s the perfect centerpiece for your holiday table—and a beautiful way to send the spirit of the season to loved ones near and far.

Italian-born chef Nino Settepani purchased his first bakery in Manhattan while still a student at NYU. After graduating, he perfected his craft at the French Culinary Institute. He opened a traditional Italian bakery, Settepani, in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood in 1992, and it was such a success that a second location has been serving Harlem since 2000. Settepani has become more than just a restaurant or bakery; it’s a community gathering place where people come together to enjoy traditional Italian breads, pastries, cannoli, cakes, cookies, and more made with all-natural, organic ingredients.
