I made Easter bread once with my grandmother. It was a rich egg dough, with lemon rind and golden raisins. My job was to pick through the raisins and find forgotten stems. I have never tried it myself, tho. I do have a "Treasured Polish Recipes" cookbook from 1949. I would be happy to look up a recipe for anyone.
The recipe for Baba Wielkanocna - Easter Baba in this book calls for 15 egg yolks, among other things. If you want this recipe, I will be happy to send it to you.
