These rolls are a wonderful combination of sweet and tart, fluffy and chewy. The sourdough starter gives them a slightly tangy flavor, while the cherries and chocolate chips add a touch of tart and sweet. This recipe is loosely based on one I found in the Biggest Book of Bread Machine Recipes. While the original …
This is one of those recipes that took ages to perfect. Each experiment yielded beautiful bread that was delicate, aromatic and savory-sweet. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the tops to rise to perfection and stay there.

Ever since posting a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel recipe this summer, I’ve wanted to try something more exotic.

A dense loaf, it yields firm, sturdy slices that hold up well when slathering on peanut butter. As with most homemade breads, it’s also tasty toasted with a bit ’o butter. California Jelly Bread Makes one 2-pound …

Toasted sesame oil—found in the Asian sections of most large grocery stores—and toasted sesame seeds lend a wonderful flavor and aroma to this loaf, while milk, cheese and whole grains provide protein and added sustenance. Excellent on its …
