Mini Easter Basket Bread (Chleb do Święconki)

In the Polish Easter tradition, bread is never just bread.

Placed inside the Święconka basket and brought for blessing on Holy Saturday, this small loaf represents sustenance, gratitude, and the blessing of daily nourishment. It is a reminder that what feeds us - both physically and spiritually - should be honored.

Our Mini Easter Basket Bread is crafted especially for this meaningful tradition. Its modest size makes it perfect for placing in the Easter basket alongside eggs, meats, and the butter lamb, forming one of the most essential symbolic elements of Święconka.

After blessing, the bread may be shared at the Easter table - broken and enjoyed as part of the first holiday meal, continuing the custom from basket to table.

Available for a limited time during the Easter season.

How to defrost

1. Remove bread from the freezer and leave at room temperature for up to six hours. You can also place bread in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Always leave the bread wrapped while it thaws.

2. Defrost bread in the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the plastic wrap if used when initially freezing the bread. Wrap the loaf tightly in aluminum foil. Place bread in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes.

3. Remove pre-sliced pieces of bread from loaves in the freezer. You can "snap" off a slice or two from the pre-sliced loaf. Simply reseal and replace the remainder of the loaf in the freezer. Toast the slices for quick defrosting and browning.

Smacznego!
