    Christopsomos, Greek Christmas Bread (BBA Challenge)

    May 24, 2009 · Modified: Dec 4, 2020 by Andrea · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads ·

    Even though it was originally intended for Christmas, this is a bread I would gladly bake any time of year. The BBA Challenge bread for this week was Artos, Greek celebration breads, and I chose the fruited Christmas version, Christopsomos. My family adored this orange and spice flavored bread, and I can easily imagine making a delicious bread pudding or French toast with this loaf.

    For more bread inspiration, check out the BBA Challenge photos in the BBA Challenge Flickr photo group.

      Looks really good. I had made this for Christmas last year & fell in love with this jeweled bread.

      It looks terrific! I am definitely going to try the Christopsomos post next time I make this bread. That's one enticing wedge in the last picture!

      I am Italian and my husband is Greek. I enjoy cooking and am learning and cooking the Greek foods we both really enjoy. This year, we purchased Christmas bread loaves from the church. I would like to know if they should be stored at room temperature or refrigerated. Bought several to take to homes for Christmas celebration. Thanks. Annetta

        Hi Annetta. I've only made the Christopsomos one time, though am planning to make it again next week, so this is a guess on my part. If you don't cut it, it should keep for a few days at room temperature, but beyond that, I would wrap it well and refrigerate it.
