FANTASTIC!!!!!!! I used to live in Peoria years ago - but was back there on business about 5 years ago and went to Avanti's - what a treat to get this recipe! Thank you so much- it was PERFECT! Thanks again!

For those that haven't tried Avanti's Sweet Bread in Bloomington, IL and enjoy breads, do yourself a flavor and stop into Avanti's if you're in their vicinity when you travel. For bread connoisseurs it is certainly worth your visit. This recipe is very similar to their homemade sweet bread. Thank you, Marie for sharing such a great recipe. Your hours of tinkering in your kitchen will certainly make allot of people happy with this recipe post.

I am from Bloomington and my man is from Peoria... so we had our doubts. But, we both loved it! The Bloomington and Peoria Avanti's bread tastes different from each other, and we both agreed that this tasted more like Bloomington's version. I cannot wait to knock the socks off some coworkers with this one.

Excellent recipe. I find this is more like the bread at LaGondola (an Avanti's clone in Bloomington-Normal), in that it is even sweeter than Avanti's bread. Perhaps cutting down on the sugar just a tad will help that.
