These delicious handheld breads are the perfect solution! Whether you’re reaching for a classic cinnamon roll or cutting a slice from our savory Breakfast Braid, let’s make mornings a little brighter with these amazing recipes.

      The stickier, the better with this timeless treat. One of our favorite comfort foods, the recipe originated in Sweden, where they actually observe a Cinnamon Roll Day (Kanelbullens dag) on October 4, but we recommend celebrating these rolls every chance you get.

      Rich, buttery, and flaky, Brian’s go-to Buttermilk Biscuits are an ode to the perfect Southern biscuit. 

      Some recipes are humble yet so reassuring that they need not change. They are kept in your pocket, ready for the moment you crave comfort and simplicity. Aunt Cheryl’s Home EC Muffins is one of those recipes.

      Introducing our new and improved way to croissant! Made with the same ingredients as the traditional but with a less-fussy, beginner-friendly method, these Genius (Quick) Croissants are the gateway baked good to the world of lamination.

      The Club in Birmingham, Alabama, has a famed orange roll that has inspired many a baker to try making their own at home. Our version brings all the original zesty enjoyment with a tropical coconut twist added in for fun.

      Looking for ways to use up your sourdough discard? This easy biscuit recipe is great for quick breakfasts for any size group. The biscuits are light, flaky, and best enjoyed with a drizzle of syrup or a bit of jam.  Once you try making them with discard, you might never go back!

      Bake these fluffy Apple Muffins for a quick breakfast on the go or a midday snack. The pumpkin spice streusel topping will keep you coming back for more. 

      As they say, presentation is everything, and this Breakfast Braid delivers brunch-time wow. We wrapped some of our favorite breakfast foods like eggs (sunny side up!), ham, and cheese in a to-die-for homemade pizza dough.

      Featuring a lightly crisp exterior and an airy, chewy interior, this English Muffin Loaf is everything you love about English muffins. Top toasted slices with butter and jam for breakfast, or layer on ingredients for your best-ever sandwich.

      Hazelnut and almond flours give this gluten-free banana bread a complex, earthy flavor. We love the addition of chopped hazelnuts, in lieu of pecans or walnuts, for a twist on the original. LEGGI TUTTO

      7 Sensational Sandwich Breads

      ha scritto per te

      Tired of the same old slices? Upgrade your sandwiches with these seven bread recipes that will transform your next meal from ordinary to extraordinary. From soft-textured sourdough to soft slider buns, we have the perfect canvas for your dream sandwich.

      The large, open crumb that’s characteristic of ciabatta bread comes from a high hydration level in the dough as well as a poolish, which is a type of preferment (a fermentation starter or, sometimes, a “mother dough”) that gives bread a slightly nutty flavor and thin crust. Pile these rolls high with salami, provolone, and other Italian ingredients for perfect panini! 

      Both Tampa and Miami have long fought to be named the birthplace of pan Cubano, or Cuban bread, and there’s no denying the appeal of this delectable bread. With a crisp outer crust and incredibly soft crumb inside, a warm, fresh-baked loaf of Cuban bread is an experience in and of itself. However, when filed with your favorite sandwich toppings and pressed, this bread reigns supreme.

      Using mashed potato in the dough creates a tighter crumb structure while also giving the rolls extra moisture and a soft texture. These pillowy rolls absorb all the flavors of your patties and toppings for your ultimate burger.

      You probably envision sourdough bread as a crusty, chewy boule, but this version is a richly flavored, soft-textured loaf. It’s the perfect bread for your ultimate grilled cheese. Another option is to rub fresh garlic on a slice of toasted sourdough and top it with perfectly ripe tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and fresh basil. Or enjoy the most wonderful slice of toast simply slathered with butter and sprinkled with flaked salt.

      Sliders get their name from United States Navy sailors who would say that their small size lets them “slide down” easily. Sour cream adds fat and moisture to the dough and helps create short gluten strands, which means a tender, rich bread. Try them topped with pulled pork.

      We love this Rye Sandwich Bread loaf because of its unbeatable texture, deep rye flavor, and versatility. It can be baked in a standard loaf pan, a Pullman pan, or hand-shaped into a rustic batard or boule. This kind of versatility makes a perfect starter loaf for the timid baker!  LEGGI TUTTO
