You know the type of bread that gets devoured before dinner even starts? The kind that makes people hover near the kitchen, pretending to “help” just to snag another slice? That’s the bread we’re talking about.

You bake it to show you care, you share it to say, “I’m glad you’re here” and if you sneak a slice while it’s still warm? That’s just self-care.

Check below for bread recipes that aren’t just loaves but the kind that turn a simple meal into a memory. 

From savory loaves to festive sweet breads, bake the season bright with our holiday bread collection.

Gingerbread Loaf

Rich molasses and melted butter swirl together with ginger, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg into a loaf that smells like every cozy corner of the holidays.

It bakes low and slow, so you’ve got time to sip something warm, wrap a gift or flirt with the idea of “just one-more slice.”
