The Fruit Dilemma: Apricot Chocolate Pecan Bread

It’s been a minute since I’ve honored the name sake y’all. What’s a blog and business called The Bread and Breakfast without a regular post or two about bread every now and again? A silly one. That’s what. Clearly, I had to clean up that craziness this week.  I’m getting to that point in the …

Black Forest Bread: Welcoming Warmer Weather

Friends, I’m pretty darn excited. Why, you may ask? Well, because the best types of produce in the world, are starting be freshly picked this time of year! Berries, melons, zucchinis, you name it!

Plum Cinnamon Swirl Bread: Doing the Heavy Lifting

Guys, I have to admit something. I’m on a bit of a roll. A roll that I’m actually kind of surprised at, and…proud of. What kind of roll you ask? A non-chocolate roll! (Although, when it comes to rolls, is one without chocolate really worth eating?) For the past month or so, I’ve been trying …

Cinnamon Apple Zucchini Bread: Attention Bake Sale Bakers Everywhere!

  Folks, if you’ve been keeping up (or, if you’ve been within a three foot radius of me in the past few weeks) you will know that I am a lover of all things Fall. Well, here’s another (not so secret) confession. Not only does Fall bring out the plaid-wearing, 20-something-year-old in me, but it …

Chocolate Babka: Dessert for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

I’m not going to even try to start with a catchy beginning here. Instead, I’m just going to give you a heads up from the start: this recipe includes over a pound of butter, and over two pounds of chocolate. Consider yourself warned. Now that you’ve had a chance to put your eyes back in your …
