Deliciously soft, moist and inviting pull-apart bread with plums, crème fraîche, walnuts and an optional orange glaze. It’s great for breakfast, brunch, or dessert with a dollop of whipped cream. The enriched dough is really easy to bring together with your stand mixer. Peaches or apricots are equally good for the recipe.

With this bread recipe, you will use up all those overripe bananas, and the result is some super soft and tender yeasted banana buns. If you are over quick banana bread or just want something different, this yeast banana bread recipe is a great variation. They are not only delicious, big on banana flavour, also relatively healthy without using any sugar. If you don’t want to be bothered to shape the buns the way I did, simply shape them into a loaf or plain round balls.

These pillowy soft, fluffy buns are made with enriched yeasted dough, filled with labneh and topped with an easy cherry compote. Pure temptation in every bite! Labneh is a thick and creamy strained yoghurt. You can also use other type of fresh cheeses (Quark, cream cheese or ricotta) for the recipe. Instead of compote, you can also top them with some homemade jam. They are so easy to make and so versatile that you can use so many fruits and flavourings.

Beer-soaked fig quick banana bread combines chewy, sweet dried figs with a malty English beer. The bitterness of beer and walnuts cut through the thick sweetness of the black mission figs and overripe bananas, resulting a deeply satisfying, delicious and ultra-moist quick bread that you will really love. DO NOT skip the brown butter step! It takes just a few minutes to transform a simple quick bread into gourmet baked goods with that rich, nutty, and caramel flavour that you can’t get enough.

These soft, fluffy and slightly sweet rosette patterned braided buns are surprisingly easy and fun to make. They require a soft, enriched dough, such as challah or tangzhong bread, and are great for breakfast or afternoon snack. I made these plain with a sprinkle of streusel. If desired, you can fill the individual dough portion with nutella, nut butter or homemade jam to make them even more lusicious.
Cherry Brioche Rolls with Hemp Seeds

|
These versatile and utterly delicious bread rolls combine a rich, buttery, and fluffy brioche dough with a sweet, nutty cherry filling. They are simple yet very delicious, perfect for an afternoon tea, picnic or a quick breakfast. I used lower-sugar homemade cherry jam mixed with ground toasted almonds for the filling, but you can use whatever you prefer. Mascarpone, custard, nutella or frangipane are all great for the recipe. If you don’t want to bother with the shaping, simply form them into rounds and fill them with your favourite jam.
The bread is best enjoyed freshly baked, when it is still warm, soft and fragrant. However, if you have leftovers, store it for 2–3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

Baking zucchini bread is a great way to make the most of the bountiful summer harvest in a tasty and varied way! This moist zucchini bread is the perfect quick alternative to traditional yeast bread. Zucchini adds natural moisture and structure to baked goods, yielding an incredibly tender crumb and stays fresh for a long time. A hearty treat that’s ideal for breakfast or as a snack between meals. Instead of cranberries and chocolate, you can also use other add-ins like nuts and raisins for the loaf.
Rustic Yeast Carrot Bread

A rustic, moist yeasted loaf made with carrot purée, giving a beautiful orange hue and a fragrant, sweet background aroma. The natural sugar and starch in the carrot purée yield an incredibly tender, golden crumb with a lightly flaky crust, add subtle, natural sweetness and also extends the bread's shelf life, keeping it soft for several days. You could also add some chopped carrot tops or parsley and sunflower seeds or walnuts for more colour and crunch.
Sesame Pogača

Although the sesame pogača is just a simple homemade bread, it looks particularly appealing whether on a festive table or just for everyday consumption. They are tender, nutty and are typically made from a yeasted dough and feature a generous topping of sesame seeds. If you like, you can fill the buns with cheese, meat or potatoes. There are many techniques for shaping the dough which make each one unique.
Pogača is a beloved bread/pastry found across Turkey and the Balkans. While Balkan and Turkish pogača share the same linguistic root and are deeply intertwined, they differ in size and texture.
Turkish Poğaça is typically made as a palm-sized, individual bun, commonly stuffed with feta, meat or potato, while in the Balkans (Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, etc.), pogača is typically a large, festive, shareable round of leavened bread, often decorated or layered with cheese and folded into intricate shapes. They are often baked plain, but filled versions do exist, usually stuffed with cottage cheese or meat.
Raisin Pecan Buns

These raisin pecan buns are soft, mildly sweet dough braided with a spiced filling made with rum-soaked raisins and pecans. They are a decadent breakfast treat or afternoon snack best served warm right out of the oven. Instead of raisins and pecans, you can use dried cranberries and walnuts. No rum, no problem, just use orange juice or water.

Poppy Streusel Buns

A soft, mildy sweet yeasted dough, swirled with a earthy, nutty poppyseed filling and topped with a thin sprinkle of buttery streusel, these twisted poppy streusel buns are perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea, or picnic. The streusel is very popular here and we love it for a nice crunch, but you can skip it and glaze the buns with a lemon icing instead.
