The recipes are approachable and totally crave worthy! I’m sharing the recipe for Butter Buns. I made these for Thanksgiving Dinner and they were seriously the easiest rolls I’ve ever made. They were downright delicious with our prime rib roast.

I pulled out an old recipe for my grandma’s yeast rolls for Thanksgiving and let’s just say some of the details were missing. I should have used this recipe instead. Next year!
I am a huge fan of brioche bread. Love the softness and taste. Great for toast or french toast.
Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day is one of my favorite homemade bread recipes. I have committed the Master recipe to memory.

So hard to choose a favorite. It seems I have a different favorite all the time. A fave for sandwiches, for toast, for eating with soup, etc. I guess I’ll say sourdough today!
I love all bread. Your butter buns look delicious. I love sour dough and cracked wheat bread a lot and cheddar and jalapeno bread.
Is it just me, or are the ingredients missing above? (Maybe my computer issues of late have gotten out of hand?)
My favorite is French Sweet bread, a recipe I’ve been making for over 30 years…but it’s really hard to find a bad bread, don’t you think? Yours above looks fantastic!
If you’re interested, here’s the recipe for my fave: http://bluebarnbulletin.blogspot.com/2009/03/french-sweet-bread.html
