Top 10 List: Favorite Yeast Bread Recipes
[We continue to update the “Top 10″ series of posts with yeast breads!]
Baking homemade yeast bread is one of the most relaxing and satisfying things for me in the kitchen. I love the smell of the yeasted dough, how it feels in my hands while I knead it, seeing it raise, watching it puff in the oven, and then slicing through a crust, through a wonderful crumb, and taking that first warm bite. I love everything about the process, and could easily eat all of these over and over again.
Below is an updated list of my 10 favorite bread recipes… Enjoy!
3. Bacon and Cheese Easter Bread
4. Bagels – Bagels are one of my all-time favorite treats to make at home. To date, I have made plain bagels, blueberry bagels (pictured below), cinnamon-raisin bagels, Asiago bagels and everything bagels.
8. Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread
9. Monkey Bread
10. Panettone

What’s your favorite bread recipe??
Bread is my life… I will take any or all of these right now!
I need to try the bagels and english muffins. Yum!
Oh you know how much i love your top 10’s, it saddens me this is the last but what a GREAT collection to go out on, truly so many of them I would love to try out. That chocolate babka and cinnamon raisin walnut bread are especialy appealing to my sweet tooth :) lovely!
(ps i made your hidden berry cream cheese torte yesterday, i will comment on it with a link to my post when its up incase you fancy a look, jus to say ITS AMAZING! truly scrumptious :) thank you!)
Oooh.. these look so good and this is so timely for me because I just made the decision that come what may I need to start making my own bread again. Just last night I made some Garlic Cheese Bread.. one loaf disappeared as it came out of the oven. Nothing like bread fresh out of the oven!
Thank you so much. I’ll have to send you the recipe because its written into one of my notebooks. Will get back to you with that one.
I’ve never tasted chocolate babka bread… Come to think of it, maybe I’ve been hiding under a rock for the past 40-something years, because I’ve never even heard of it! Well, thanks to you, that’s about to change… This looks to die for!
I’d love to have a slice of each!
I’m loving all the top 10 lists. There are so many recipes that I’ve forgotten or missed. It’s given me the opportunity to bookmark some incredible recipes. Thanks Michelle.
I need to make that sandwich bread… and I’ve always wanted to make English Muffins!
They all look delicious! I have finally conquered my fears of baking yeasted breads and love it!
I love making french bread rolls: http://joinuspullupachair.blogspot.com/2010/12/french-bread-rolls.html
All of these recipes look delicious. Bread makes the house smell so good when it’s cooking.
Another great recipe roundup! That babka is especially catching my eye, what is that like anyway?!
It is heaven! Light and fluffy sweet bread with swirls and swirls of chocolate filling. Decadent and delicious!
All of those breads look delicious. I love to make homemade breads, and just last week I made some homemade cinnamon rolls. The aroma in the house is just out of this world.
Gah! I had to immediately print out the English Muffin recipe. I’ve been craving them lately. And while I was here, I figured I might as well print off the sweet dinner rolls recipe, too. Yet another one of my bread-based weaknesses.
I’ve never had babka. I can imagine yeast + chocolate is life-changing though. Gotta make that!
They truly look delicios.
I am missing some bread with out yeast. Does anyone know some good recipies?
You can find all of my quick bread recipes (without yeast) here: https://www.browneyedbaker.com/category/quick-bread-recipes/
Great line up! My fave are the english muffins. There just something so satisfying about “baking” bread on a griddle!
This is such an impressive top ten. I have little experience beyond pizza dough when it comes to working with yeast. Something I should really explore
Great looking top ten. I love to bake bread but don’t do it as often as I’d like. This round up of recipes makes me want to again; especially the chocolate babka. YUM!!
What a list….I have drool all over my computer!
Chocolate Babka is on my to-do list! x

Hi, these breads were so awesome I just had to share a link to them on my blog. Here is the Garlic Cheese Bread recipe I promised you..http://shinebrightlyforjesus.blogspot.com/2011/08/garlic-cheese-bread.html
Thank you again for these awesome recipes!
God bless!
I want the recipe of all top 10 list of yeast bread immediately. Iliked them very much and want to make it in home for my family please send me the same .
Just click on the link for each recipe and you will be taken to the recipe page.
They all look great!…..One of my all-time favorites is Yeast Raised Irish Soda Bread (minus the suggested caraway seeds). I originally found it in a Fleichmann’s yeast cookbook, but is also found here:
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,194,143178-239207,00.html
It also makes lovely, soft dinner rolls. Sometimes I’ll throw pecans into the dough, along with the raisins…..When baking as loaves, I recently started shaping it for bread pans instead of on a flat sheet. I like the extra height it gives the loaf.
Although this is not a recent post, I am thankful for it! Lots of recipes to try! Thank you! :-)
When I initially commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the same comment.
Is there a means you are able to remove me from that service?
Many thanks!
Hurrah! At last I got a weblog from where I be capable of actually take useful facts concerning my study and
knowledge.
Love these recipes. Will be trying them myself. Here is a recipe for French Bread that I made today and it turned out awesome. My advice would be to let it sit for 2 hours after rolled into the loaf. Mine did not rise completely.

Terrific recipes here… For fun I made a sauerkraut bread and liked it A LOT..so did my neighbours.Now one of my favorites…And it does NOT taste sauerkrauty…Bit of a tang,great texture,moisture and taste.
hi… my first tym home made brad was a hit…thnx to u beb.
I know this technically isn’t “bread” but it is a yeasted dough. Your cream cheese cinnamon rolls are a favorite in our house. It’ gets requested for almost every special occasion!
These look amazing! I love making breads, so these are good ideas for new projects. I love cinnamon swirl bread. It looks like the perfect holiday treat!
These all look spectacular!
My favorite bread recipe is a French bread I found on allrecipes.com, it produces 2 beautiful loaves of crusty outside smooth chewy inside every time! My family says it tastes like fresh from the bakery bread!

Are you still working on a sourdough recipe? I LOVE sourdough bread, and I know that you have been testing several starters.
Hi McKenzie, I tried multiple ones last fall to no avail and haven’t had the opportunity to re-start the search since I had the baby, but I plan to work on it this summer/fall, so stay tuned!
I want to try them all-even the ones I am not sure I will like because you never know. I didn’t think panettone would be my thing until I tried it and now…it’s my thing.
Ciabatta bread is the best kind of bread ever!! I recommend everyone to try it out, if you don’t you’re missing out! The bacon and cheese bread looks delicious too!
I love baking bread too!! There is something so fun about watching it rise, you feel so accomplished! I recently made my first pull apart bread, it was fun to make and so delicious!!
nothing warms my heart like homemade bread! My mom always made rolls for Sunday dinner and her recipe is a favorite. For a quick bread your Bacon, Cheddar Beer bread is a serious go-to. Will have to try the chocolate and cinnamon babkas!
thanks
Wow! The breads look awesome! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with us.
Making pizza using bread can be a good idea as it is loved by kids and other people.
I like a lot breads. Thanks for sharing.
I like Chocolate Babka. Because i never taste with chocolate.
Yummy, what a great recipe. been looking for decent bread making recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Simon
Thank you so much!! LOVE your website!! I have already made your whole wheat bread and today made the white bread – so delicious!! Your instructions are so easy to follow!! I feel better feeding my family home made food rather than factory made!!
Have been searching for a recipe from my childhood. It was called Pie Cut. The sweet version of yeast dough was spread in a cookie sheet, spread with cherry pie filling and covered with another thin layer of the same dough. Baked and cooked, then frosted with a powered sugar glaze. Cut into squares, for serving. I always remember the little packets of yeast to make the dough. I want to make this, but cannot find anything close to it.
Unable to find. Can you help?
Hi Annie, I’ve never heard of this but it sounds amazing!! If I find a similar recipe I’ll be sure to share it!
Oh my god! The Monkey bread is to die for!! Thanks.
I find it hard to have a good meal without a fresh crusty bread.
How do I make bread with a very fine crumb? When I’ve made bread the crumb is too large.
need a recipe for easter paska bread, i found one for your european paska sweet brioche/with golden raisins. When I mix it all in the mixer, do I use the bread hook, don’t want to over beat. Thank You
Hi Dolores, Yes you can use a dough hook without an issue.
