BBA Challenge: Christopsomos (Greek Christmas Bread)

Even though it was originally intended for Christmas, this is a bread I would gladly bake any time of year. The BBA Challenge bread for this week was Artos, Greek celebration breads, and I chose the fruited Christmas version, Christopsomos. My family adored this orange and spice flavored bread, and I can easily imagine making a delicious bread pudding or French toast with this loaf.

For more bread inspiration, check out the BBA Challenge photos in the BBA Challenge Flickr photo group.

    Looks really good. I had made this for Christmas last year & fell in love with this jeweled bread.

    It looks terrific! I am definitely going to try the Christopsomos post next time I make this bread. That’s one enticing wedge in the last picture!
