Etobicoke's favourite Italian bakery and a Toronto institution -- SanRemo Bakery -- is known for doling out tarts, cakes, breads, donuts and more! We were all sad to see them close their doors in efforts to help curb the spread of COVID-19 but thankfully the bakery has shared Ed's recipe for Italian sweet bread -- just in time to celebrate Easter!
Check out the original recipe below and make sure to enter in SanRemo's Italian sweet bread challenge on Instagram and tag them for a chance to win a $50 gift card. The contest ends on April 15, 2020. Also check out Ed's tutorial video below for a step-by-step guide on how to make the bread.
