[We continue to update the “Top 10″ series of posts with yeast breads!]
Baking homemade yeast bread is one of the most relaxing and satisfying things for me in the kitchen. I love the smell of the yeasted dough, how it feels in my hands while I knead it, seeing it raise, watching it puff in the oven, and then slicing through a crust, through a wonderful crumb, and taking that first warm bite. I love everything about the process, and could easily eat all of these over and over again.
Below is an updated list of my 10 favorite breadrecipes…Enjoy!
1. American Sandwich Bread
2. Apricot Cream Cheese Babka
3. Bacon and Cheese Easter Bread
4. Bagels – Bagels are one of my all-time favorite treats to make at home. To date, I have made plain bagels, blueberry bagels (pictured below), cinnamon-raisin bagels, Asiago bagels and everything bagels.
5. Chocolate Babka
6. Ciabatta Bread
7. Cinnamon Babka
8. Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread
9. Monkey Bread
10. Panettone
What’s your favorite bread recipe??

I continue to hope that I will find the perfect yeast bread recipe which does not have “set up your mixer with a dough hook” in the recipe. The whole reason I like to make bread is the exercise of kneading, which is the only thing that keeps my arthritic hands moving. One day maybe…..

Have been searching for a recipe from my childhood. It was called Pie Cut. The sweet version of yeast dough was spread in a cookie sheet, spread with cherry pie filling and covered with another thin layer of the same dough. Baked and cooked, then frosted with a powered sugar glaze. Cut into squares, for serving. I always remember the little packets of yeast to make the dough. I want to make this, but cannot find anything close to it.
Unable to find. Can you help?-

nothing warms my heart like homemade bread! My mom always made rolls for Sunday dinner and her recipe is a favorite. For a quick bread your Bacon, Cheddar Beer bread is a serious go-to. Will have to try the chocolate and cinnamon babkas!

I want to try them all-even the ones I am not sure I will like because you never know. I didn’t think panettone would be my thing until I tried it and now…it’s my thing.

Hi McKenzie, I tried multiple ones last fall to no avail and haven’t had the opportunity to re-start the search since I had the baby, but I plan to work on it this summer/fall, so stay tuned!

I know this technically isn’t “bread” but it is a yeasted dough. Your cream cheese cinnamon rolls are a favorite in our house. It’ gets requested for almost every special occasion!

Love these recipes. Will be trying them myself. Here is a recipe for French Bread that I made today and it turned out awesome. My advice would be to let it sit for 2 hours after rolled into the loaf. Mine did not rise completely.

They all look great!…..One of my all-time favorites is Yeast Raised Irish Soda Bread (minus the suggested caraway seeds). I originally found it in a Fleichmann’s yeast cookbook, but is also found here:
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,194,143178-239207,00.html
It also makes lovely, soft dinner rolls. Sometimes I’ll throw pecans into the dough, along with the raisins…..When baking as loaves, I recently started shaping it for bread pans instead of on a flat sheet. I like the extra height it gives the loaf. -

Gah! I had to immediately print out the English Muffin recipe. I’ve been craving them lately. And while I was here, I figured I might as well print off the sweet dinner rolls recipe, too. Yet another one of my bread-based weaknesses.

I’ve never tasted chocolate babka bread… Come to think of it, maybe I’ve been hiding under a rock for the past 40-something years, because I’ve never even heard of it! Well, thanks to you, that’s about to change… This looks to die for!

Oooh.. these look so good and this is so timely for me because I just made the decision that come what may I need to start making my own bread again. Just last night I made some Garlic Cheese Bread.. one loaf disappeared as it came out of the oven. Nothing like bread fresh out of the oven!
Thank you so much. I’ll have to send you the recipe because its written into one of my notebooks. Will get back to you with that one.
