Rhode Island's Prim Rose Bakery Churning Out Easter Sweetbread

March 25, 2013 Linda Murphy, Herald News

Starting last weekend and continuing up until Easter, Prim Rose Bakery owners Maria Connie Silva and her husband, Manuel, will make more than 20,000 loaves of sweetbread dotted with eggs baked in the shell along with the bread. “The egg is a symbol of birth. At Easter, Jesus dies and he’s born again,” said Maria Connie Silva of the Easter tradition of adding the symbolic egg in all the different sweetbread varieties, from the single-sized loaf with one egg, to the ring with six eggs. In addition to the retail store, the Silvas have expanded the business’ wholesale operation over the years from selling at local markets to being sold on the shelves of supermarkets in Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Connecticut.
