Geef de feestdagen een Italiaans tintje met dit feestelijke en smaakvolle panettone recept. Pannetone is een typisch Italiaans kerstgebak en hoewel het van oorsprong uit Milaan komt, is het een populaire lekkernij in heel Italië én daarbuiten. Een panettone is gemaakt van een zacht, luchtig en zoet deeg en heeft hierdoor ook wel wat weg van een cake. Deze panettone cake is heerlijk voor bij het kerstontbijt, maar ook onwijs populair als afsluiter van een kerstdiner. Voorbereiding: ± 18 uur. Bakken: ± 1 u, 5 min.

The only thing cozier and more festive than warm, melty baked Brie? Warm baked Brie surrounded by rosemary-scented pull-apart bread that’s crusty on the outside and fluffy in the center. This star bread can serve as a stand-alone centerpiece, though we also love the idea of using it as a jumping-off point for a whole arrangement of snacks, like crudités, dried fruit, and dips. The dough can be mixed the day before and the bread, sans cheese, can be baked earlier in the day and reheated with the Brie tucked into the center so that it’s at the perfect temperature when your guests arrive.

Bake this fragrant loaf spiced with cinnamon and mastiha for good luck in the year ahead. This Greek bread is traditionally baked for January 1st, the Greek Orthodox St. Basil's saint's day, but even in the days after January 1st, baking it is a fitting way to celebrate good things to come. Cinnamon gives the rich yet fluffy bread spicy warmth, while mastiha, a resinous spice, adds piney notes for depth.

The symbolism of bread is commonly observed by Christian cultures throughout the world. During Easter, bread takes many decorative shapes and forms; one of the most beautiful is the egg- and butter-rich Paska, traditionally eaten in Eastern European countries. Paska is often paired with "hrudka" (hur-UT-ka), a custard-like cheese; or a delicious sweetened cream cheese spread (see the recipe in "tips," below). You might also enjoy thick slices of bread sandwiching kielbasa, or your leftover Easter ham. PREP 20 mins. BAKE 35 to 45 mins. TOTAL 2 hrs 55 mins.

The dough for this loaf is wonderfully smooth and supple, making it an ideal candidate for braiding.

Edd Kimber has crossed the flavours of a babka with the look of Swedish cinnamon buns to create these chocolate and salted pistachio babka buns. You can make these with regular pistachios, but if you want to push them a little further it’s worth tracking down vibrant green blanched slivered pistachios from Middle-Eastern grocers. 1 Hour 30 Minutes + Proving.

See step-by-step instructions on how to braid challah bread. This eggy, yeasted bread is a welcome addition to any spread.

The rich, fluffy, egg-yolky classic done right. While you may not have trouble finding good challah at your local bakery, there are some compelling reasons to bake the iconic loaf yourself. For starters, it can be made easily in any home kitchen, with any experience level, in just a few hours, with delicious results. And, with patience and practice, there's no question that you can make a challah that's better than anything you'll buy in a store. This recipe makes two hearty loaves made with four-strand braids. You may be tempted to halve the recipe, but a double batch will make the time and effort more rewarding and worthwhile—plus, that extra loaf will get even better for French toast, stuffing, or bread pudding as it stales. ACTIVE TIME: 90 minutes..TOTAL TIME: 6-12 hours.

Why make one challah when you can make three? The result you get when mixing a large batch of dough is actually much better than what you get when making a small batch. With a good amount of dough in the bowl, it is easier for the mixer to do its job and properly knead it. Challah freezes beautifully—you can freeze a loaf whole, or slice it and then freeze it for toast or French toast. Or have one loaf for dinner or breakfast, and give the other loaf to a friend or someone close to your heart. The offer of fresh-baked bread is a beautiful gesture that is better than any bottle of wine or store-bought hostess gift.

Deze versie is lekker traditioneel en zoals het hoort volgens mij. Met een vleugje rum in de vulling en lekker veel spijs! Want laten we ons niet voor de gek houden… dat ronde stukje spijs middenin de plak is toch wel het allerlekkerst! En ook een uitdaging om een plakje kerststol zó op te eten dat er altijd een stukje spijs en brood in je mond zit!

It's time to put your braiding skills to good use! Challah is an egg enriched loaf that's traditionally braided and makes the most beautiful presentation. Similar to brioche, the bread is slightly sweet and wonderfully soft inside. Any leftover bread makes the perfect slice for french toast. Don't have a stand mixer? No problem! You can make this dough by hand just know that it's meant to be a sticky dough. When kneading, flour your surface generously and wet your hands slightly to keep the dough from sticking to you. Try not to add too much flour during the kneading process and use a bench scraper to help you lift and fold the dough. Have you made this yet? Let us know how it went in the comments below!

These traditional holiday loaves are made in several easy steps over about 18 hours. We recommend doing steps one through four on the first day, since step four includes an eight- to ten-hour rising that, ideally, could be done overnight. Then finish the next day. You can use two buttered and floured nine-inch-diameter springform pans instead of the dove-shaped paper molds.

Many different versions of this rich bread, laced with rum syrup and drizzled with icing, are served at Easter in Polish households. It's such a tradition, and so well-loved, that there are probably as many babka recipes as there are Polish bakers! This particular recipe was inspired by one in our 1990 200th Anniversary Cookbook, which includes a wealth of recipes and information from cultures around the world. You'll notice that, despite being made with yeast, it's an easy batter bread; "no-knead" isn't as new a concept as you might think. PREPARATION TIME: 10 mins. BAKE: 35 to 40 mins.

This overstuffed yeast loaf, filled with two kinds of chocolate, nuts, and cinnamon, is based on a traditional eastern European bread. A classic sweet bread, it's usually shaped in a twist and topped with streusel. Babka is a perennial best-seller at Jewish bakeries in many major North American cities. This recipe makes two rather large loaves: one to keep, one to give away. If you'd like to make just a single loaf, see "tips," below.

In Sweden this tea ring is most often enjoyed at Christmas time. Think cinnamon roll in the shape of a ring. This — and many European pastries — aren't as over-the-top decadent as the typical American sticky buns, cream-filled layer cakes, and gooey fudge brownies.

As a traditional German fruitcake with a profound history, it's no wonder that there are as many variations of stollen as there are people who make it. This version includes a rich filling of almond paste (or marzipan), which adds to the decadence of the bread-like cake. Stollen's dense butter and sugar coating makes it an excellent candidate for preparing ahead of the busy holiday season, wrapping, and giving to friends and family up to 2 weeks later.
