Anyone who likes to bake bread knows it usually takes a little longer to prepare. Yeast or sourdough bread simply needs more time until it’s ready to go into an oven. If you have the patience – awesome! I’m not one of those people. I need things to move a little quicker. That’s why I really like soda bread. A simple Carrot Cake Soda Bread is in and out of the oven in no time at all. Perfect for impatient people (like me!) ;P
Have you ever had bread rolls or croissants left over from a breakfast (or brunch) that aren’t quite as nice and fresh the next day? No problem! You can turn stale croissants into a delicious Ham & Cheese Croissant Bake, for example. It’s quick and easy and really tasty!
If there’s one thing for breakfast, that’s a bit more special compared to regular bread, etc., it’s something like these Easy Croissant French Toast. If you ever had French toast, you will probably agree. It’s delicious and super easy to prepare. If a loved one serves you this dish, you have probably done everything right… or you are at a good hotel enjoying a lavish breakfast. Both is fine! ;P
I have the feeling a lot of people are a bit afraid of yeast bakes. We are also not doing them all the time, but mostly because they take so long to finish. Yeast bakes are actually not really complicated. ;P This German Mohnstriezel aka. Braided Loaf with Poppy Seed & Streusels is no exception here. Not really complicated, but you have to count in long waiting times. We don’t like to wait long, but what can you do… it is what it is (they say). ;P
Apples are available all year round in Germany and many other regions of the world. That’s probably why there are so many recipes in which apples play the leading role. This is also the case with this Apple Pecan Swirl Bread. Without apples, this bake would only be half as delicious! Without apples, it would probably just be a nut bread, but not a particularly good one, I guess. ;P
If you want to serve something special for breakfast or a brunch, a sweet casserole like this Franzbrötchen Apple Casserole aka. Ofenschlupfer is always a good idea – especially if you want to feed a lot of people. ;) We normally have that »problem« on public holidays. Relatives invite themselves, and you got to feed a few extra mouths. I mean – you can spoil loved family members with delicious food! ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
