Cuckoo bread, also known as lame bread or fool's bread, is a traditional wheat bread made during Easter in certain regions of Europe. It gets its name from the habit of cuckoo birds laying their eggs in other bird's nests. The bread is typically flavored with spices or dried fruit and has decorative markings made on the surface. In some countries, it is also known as Easter bread or Pascha bread. Other synonyms for the same could be sweet bread, raisin bread, spiced bread, and fruit bread. The bread is often consumed during the holiday season and served with butter or jam.
