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.

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.
Karen
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
