Christmas Day is a popular time for families to gather for brunch. Because the day is so special, it’s a given that the brunch dishes should also be special. Christmas Brunch Bread is made quickly because it starts with the versatile Master Baking Mix . Zucchini, red bell pepper strips, and green onions are added to give the bread flavor and plenty of red and green flecks which make this delicious bread festive. It will look beautiful sliced on the brunch table, or, since it’s baked in a Bundt® pan, can be wrapped and given as a gift.


The recipe may also be baked in two standard loaf pans for gift giving, as well as mini loaf pans. The only accompaniment needed is plenty of real butter. This bread goes extremely well with egg dishes and breakfast meats. And, it’s actually easy enough to make that it can be put together for breakfast anytime of the year. For a more substantial loaf, fold in a cup or two of lean diced ham – perfect with scrambled eggs.
