Gramma Lund's Limpa Bread by Amos Miller

My paternal grandfather emigrated to the US in 1912 bringing with him his mother's family recipe for the incredibly delicious - almost cake-like - limpa of the southern Swedish countryside. I looked at every recipe for Swedish Limpa Bread on the C-E-S site. None of them are family recipes, although there is a rye bread recipe, it's…

MARY ANN'S ITALIAN HARD ROLLS by Mary Ann & Paulie

I really missed my Trenton NJ Italian hard crusty rolls from the ‘Burg...so my wife Mary Ann set out and came up with this recipe....the rolls came out fantastic....crispy, crusty and soft on the inside (but not mushy). Here is her recipe and technique......enjoy! (this recipe made 4 good sized rolls)

Artisan Bread so easy it almost bakes itself by A Culinary Journey with Chef Dennis

One of the best books I have purchased in a long time is "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes" by Zoe Francois and Jeff Hertzberg you can find a lot of helpful information as well as how to video's at http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/. Jeff and Zoe have brought bread back to the masses. With a simple fool proof recipe. Since this was my…

Cocktail Rye Bread (with Bread Machine Dough-Making Option) by Salad Foodie

For the freshest taste and earthy rye flavor, make your own cocktail rye bread to pair with appetizers at your next party. Redstaryeast.com gave me the inspiration, but I took liberties with their cocktail rye bread recipe by using my bread machine dough-making feature to save kneading energy and time. Baked in mini loaf pans, the…

Ciamelli ( Italian Bagels) pronounced chum-ell) by J. Gino Genovesi

Ciamelli are like bagels and have a pleasant taste of anise with a burst of orange. They are of Italian origin, a solid bread, and a great favorite at holidays, especially at Christmas & New Years. In our family they were used as "dunkers"; dunk in wine, cocoa, or coffee. They brought smiles to our faces. Many of those who…

German Rye Flaxseed Bread by Tina W.

This bread tastes like it came from a German bakery! Delicious topped with meats and cheeses as well as sweets like jam, honey, or Nutella! (The cost per recipe is way off. I figure it costs just over $1.00.)

Italian Easter Bread by Evelyn Scott

St. Joseph's Bread by Joanne

A braided bread finished with an egg wash and sesame seeds. Crisp crust and tender crumb. Great for dipping in your favorite pasta sauce or straight up with a bit of extra sharp cheddar cheese and fresh sliced tomato. Makes 2 Loaves

Aunt Violet's Swedish Rye Bread by Amos Miller

Swedes have always made hearty, highly flavored breads and rye always seems to play a part, the foundation for many avenues of baking exploration. Aunt Violet was one of my paternal grandfather's sisters. This is her recipe 'from home'. It seems each of the 7 Moller children brought fragments of family recipes with them through…

Polish Sweet Bread by Therese

This bread is a Easter tradition that has been in our family for as long as I can remember. My children were also taught how to make this bread so they can pass it down to their children.

Focaccia with Olives and Rosemary (Bread Machine or Conventional Method) by Salad Foodie

Hot, fresh and homemade Focaccia with olives and herbs - what could be better? A hearty and versatile bread to serve with salads, a side to Italian meals, a base for pizza or used as a sandwich bread. If a bread machine is handy, use it to mix, knead…

Fantastic Irish Soda Bread by Nancy Miyasaki

I made two Irish Soda Breads for St. Patrick's Day this year, and this one was superior. And it is really, really easy! If you eat it hot out of the oven, it melts in your mouth like a warm cornbread. If you let it sit a few hours, it hardens into a thicker texture with the same great taste. You won't be disappointed!

French Bread by Bread Machine by Salad Foodie

This recipe requires the French Bread setting on my bread machine, best suited for bread doughs low in fat and sugar; this results in a crisp crust and coarse, chewy exterior. (It is similar to the Whole Wheat setting though not identical.....but just might work.) However if neither are available on your machine you could use the…

Gluten-free Portuguese Easter Masa Bread by The Dusty Baker

Masa is a Portuguese sweet bread made in my family every year around Easter. For the holiday we wrap the risen dough around painted, hard-boiled eggs and eat them Easter morning. Scented with lemon, anisette and (in my grandmother’s recipe!) whiskey, it’s eggy and sweet. Recipes all vary in their density; the kind you purchase in…
