Yeast Breads

My homemade carrot and chive bread is hearty, rustic and speckled throughout with orange and green from the carrots and chives. This country yeast bread smells amazing and will instantly make you think of warm summer days spent in the vegetable garden. I am so excited to share this recipe with you guys today! There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh bread baking and this carrot and chive bread smells so gosh darn homey there’s just nothing quite like…

Oatmeal dinner rolls are light and fluffy. Soft and mildly sweet. Easy to make, but taste like perfection. Say hello to your new favorite dinner roll! Sometimes things just don’t go as planned. Take my Monday morning for example, I planned on a productive morning cleaning house and working on blog stuff. Instead I ended up sitting in a Walmart Subway for hours while I got a flat tire fixed. Thank heavens Subway serves coffee or else I don’t know…

These Hawaiian rolls are super soft and fluffy inside. Slightly sweet with a touch of pineapple flavor they make great dinner rolls and slider buns. Best of all this Hawaiian sweet roll recipe is just 4 ingredients and super easy to make. In last week’s Cuban ham salad post I promised that I’d share the recipe for the rolls that were pictured. These are them. These Hawaiian rolls have become a family favorite. They are super easy to make, with…

Soft and golden. Hearty and flavorful. These Caramelized Onion Buns are a match made in heaven for your hamburgers and sandwiches. Pile on the roast beef for an out of this world French dip! Anyway you slice it, you’ll never want to go back to boring store bought buns after having one of these fresh from the oven. My sister and I spent a lot of time with our Auntie Marilyn in the summers as kids. The best way to…

Invoking thoughts of summer and sunflowers, this Sunflower bread is an easy multi-grain bread, slightly sweet and a bit nutty, altogether enjoyable. I hope that you all had a most wonderful Christmas. I did not. I spent all of the holiday sick or tending to sick kids. We played pass the strep throat and it got most of the way through my household. There are no winners in this game.  It was awful stuff, and unfortunately because of the holiday,…

This garlic cheese focaccia bread is light and tender. Soaked with butter, garlic, herbs and cheese, it’s perfect for sopping up extra marinara sauce or the tail ends of the soup in your bowl. Be careful with this recipe. Fair warning, if you make it once you’ll probably be hooked.  Oy vey. I’ve tried to write the post for this Garlic Cheese Focaccia bread recipe like 4 times, but nothing seems to be right. It’s been a weird week. Monday…

The other night we were eating dinner and the conversation my kids were having got me so tickled.  I can’t remember what was on the table, but one of them said, “This is awesome! Every thing our Mom cooks is great!” Another, one of the boys that thoroughly enjoys pestering his brothers, responded with, “But what if she peeled a whole onion and put it on our plates and said this is what’s for dinner? Now, eat it all up!”…
