Not a cookie this time, but tasty, traditional, Greek New Year Bread

This recipe is for a light, sweet Greek New Year Bread (Vassilopitta) that is traditionally served on New Year's Day. I found it in a recipe book purchased after a wonderful holiday in Greece several years ago when I fell in love with the fish and sweet dishes. This recipe was a little gem at the back of the book that has now become a family tradition. I make it on New Year's Eve and we cut it at midnight straight after the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" (which means "Old long ago").

There is a coin baked into the bread, so cutting the bread and finding he coin is all part of the ritual. A slice is cut for each person in turn to see if they have been lucky enough to get the coin - as well as get a lovely slice of sweet bread.
