In my home, it's not Easter without cheese bread. It's a tradition from the Marche and Umbria regions. My grandmother used to make it every year in large quantities, both for our home and to give as gifts to friends and family. She always started early in the morning, so when we woke up, the smell of the bread filled the house.
