* Bread description: "Sweet egg bread glows with honey, golden rains and surprises. One bite offers whole cranberries. The next, semi-sweet chocolate chips. And deep within the soft, even-textured crumb is a mother lode of cinnamon-sweetened apples. The golden brown crust is topped with walnut streusel and sweet white icing."
