After trying several recipes for banana bread that had some but not all of the things I wanted in it, I tweaked a few together and came up with this version with Greek yogurt. I made 8 loaves before declaring...
This is an easy recipe that is pretty much fool proof. I manage a market cafe that serves homemade pastries in the morning, and this 'made-up' recipe was a total seller with our customers. Now they come...
My friends and family ask me for this all the time. I find apple fritters at a coffee shop are nothing but sugar and give me a toothache just thinking about it, but this recipe is delicious and not too...

The ciabatta does require a simple sponge but it takes only a few minutes to put together the day before making the bread. Though the dough for ciabatta is very wet and sticky, resist the temptation to...
Classic Focaccia Genovese is the mother to all flatbreads. It's about ½ inch thick, a little chewy but still soft inside with a delicious olive oil crust on top and on the bottom.
These gingerbread scones are great right out of the oven but they really are best the next day. We prefer ours fairly plain but feel free to add a glaze of your choice. Enjoy!
Not too sweet, with a wonderful tart lime glaze, these muffins are a perfect way to use up over-ripe mango and bananas. Throw in some chocolate chips or chopped nuts for different textures and flavors....

This is an easy, quick recipe for cornbread that's dense, and adjustably sweet. It will smell great as it bakes and comes out with a great golden crust. It can accompany anything. I love it served with...
My favorite food? Soft gooey cinnamon pretzels! The only problem, I can't always drive to the mall to get them, so here is a solution! Best when served warm.
Garden Fresh Green Tomato Quick Bread tastes nothing like tomatoes! Often confused for Banana or Zucchini bread, this Green Tomato Quick Bread gets two thumbs up by everyone. Tomato haters will never suspect...
Growing up in NYC, my family adored bagels and bialys. Once you have them in NYC, they just aren't the same anywhere else. While just about everyone knows what a bagel is, most have never heard of a bialy....
This recipe was inspired by a family recipe and my favorite orange cookies. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Flavor is best if baked the day before serving.
These are gobbled up as soon as family sees them. I'll never try another cinnamon roll recipe, because I think these are the best. Note: These are wonderful fresh, but they don't freeze well.
This is an excellent recipe where no butter, oil or any type of fat is added. It is not to dry and not too moist. The best thing about them is you can snack on them anytime you wish and how many as you...

This is a very nice bread to serve anytime of the year not just at Easter. My mother always made this at Easter time, and I was finally able to get the recipe out of her. Now I want to share it with you....
A delicious and hearty oatmeal bread. This is especially good when it is hot and fresh, just plain--and really great with a little butter and honey. This recipe is the end result of trial, error and continuous...

These are my favorite rolls in the whole world. They have the corny taste of a cornmeal muffin, but are a yeast roll that you can serve with a fancy dinner.
This recipe was passed on to me by my aunt; we used to beg for her to make this as children. The pepper is slight in comparison to the overall taste. The brushed egg yolk mixture gives the bread a crunchier...
These fun-to-make flatbreads are a common fixture on menus in China, and while they all feature the same few ingredients, they come in a variety of thicknesses. The thinner you make these, the crispier...
This bread takes pumpkin bread to a whole new realm. I invented this one day when thinking of how to make pumpkin bread retain its moistness even longer. Solution: coconut milk!
This recipe is absolutely delicious. I make them the night before, take them out in the morning and let them rise. I have also made sticky buns with this recipe using a coconut/pecan frosting for the bottom...
