Is there anything better than receiving a loaf of sweet kindness directly from the loving hands that baked it? If there is, I can’t think of what.
The solstice and other winter holidays offer so many moments to celebrate the season with the special warmth that only home-baked goodness provides. Whether you’re baking a gift to bring comfort to family and friends, or for your own simple pleasure – something we all desire and deserve – these taste like home and like love.
Highlighting seasonal flavors, these loaves, rolls, and muffins brighten any cold, dark winter day and even give you a delightful reason to use the preserved fruits of summer so you can add your own unique twist. They’re easy enough for beginners and a pleasure for experienced bakers.
