29 Easter Breads & Side Dish Recipes - A round up of seasonal and ethnic Easter breads, as well as side dishes that will go perfectly with lamb or ham!

Somehow, Easter is less than a week away, if you can believe it. (And for the second time in recent memory, my birthday falls on Good Friday, what are the odds?!) Last week, I shared with you all of my favorite Easter desserts, so if you haven’t checked that out yet, definitely do so when it’s time to make your menu – so many fabulous spring sweets!

Today I’m sharing a round up of my favorite Easter breads and side dishes. I have classics that my grandma used to make like bacon and cheese bread and pigu, as well as Greek, Italian and Polish Easter breads. Then, we have the all-import Easter side dishes – salads, potatoes, a couple of casseroles… They all go wonderfully with ham or lamb, which are the highlights of our Easter dinner. If you’re putting together a menu this week, I think you’ll find some great ideas in the list below. Enjoy!
