In many European countries there are various traditions surrounding the use of bread during the Easter holiday. Traditionally the practice of eating Easter bread or sweetened communion bread traces its origin back to Byzantium and the Orthodox Christian church. The recipe for sweetened or honey-leavened bread may date back as far as the Homeric Greek period based on anecdotal evidence from classical texts that mention this type of special food.
