These spiced and slightly sweet yeast rolls are crunchy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. Way back in 2014, when I started this blog, yeast bread was still pretty daunting to me. I had only really made yeast bread a couple of times (in the form of my grandmother’s Italian anise bread),…

Homemade Hot Dog Buns
These easy homemade hot dog buns will be a new favorite addition to your cookout. This recipe makes 10, so you’ll never be stuck with 2 extra buns ever again! What “makes” summer for you? Is it a food? A destination? An event? Maybe it’s a combination of a few things? For me, personally, my…
St. Lucia Saffron Buns
Traditional soft and fluffy Swedish holiday buns infused with saffron. And just like that, it’s the end of December, which means that we have one last installment of FAF’s Bread of The Month. Can you even believe it? And my friends at Bob’s Red Mill are helping me bring this amazing bread recipe to you…
Pesto Pull-Apart Bread
Soft and fluffy pull-apart bread filled with zesty, herbed pesto. Another month, another loaf of bread! And this time, YEAST BREAD. My most favorite kind of bread. All dolled up with summer flavor and waiting patiently to make an appearance in your kitchen. This is not the first Bread of The Month to feature Bob’s…

Irish Soda Bread
Dense, hearty, crunchy-on-the-outside bread with a faintly tangy interior studded with the slightly sweet yet tart bits of currants. Up until this weekend, I had never made Irish soda bread. Can you believe it? A baker, with a partial Irish background, who married into a very Irish-on-one-side family, never making a loaf of traditional soda…
DeAngelis Family Easter Pizza
Out of the four grandparents I had, I only knew three of them, and I would say I was the closest with my father’s mother Eva. I specifically remember that when I would stay at her house, we would eat raisin shredded wheat for breakfast, watch The Price is Right at 11am which was always…
