We would make small loafs for the children and put and egg ( in the shell/raw) in the center on the dough and crisscross the dough over the egg. My grand mother would always make the sign-of-the-cross and bless the dough in Portuguese. One year she was too sick to join us, so we called her on the phone , put the phone receiver over the dough , and through the phone she blessed our dough!
