A traditional cake for the feast of the Epiphany. This one is New Orleans coffeecake style. A great breakfast bread, also. Use also for Mardi Gras celebrations.

This makes two 9×12 bread rings. Allow plenty of time to roll out, as the dough is very stretchy. The rolling and braiding is a little tricky and time consuming, but it is so delicious and festive, and makes a beautiful presentation. I’ve made this 3 years in a row for our family Epiphany celebration.
