MMOT: Favorite Holiday Breads
newsletter.wordloaf.org
As I mentioned earlier, the first half of December is going to be devoted to holidays and holiday breads. I already sent out the Cranberry-Pecan Sourdough to subscribers, and will make that one available to everyone soon. And I have 3 or 4 other loaves in the works as well, including a Chocolate-Sour Cherry Sourdough.
For this week’s Monday Morning Open Thread, what are some of your favorite breads to make around the holidays? They can be classic, traditional loaves, or just recipes you consider go-to ones for entertaining or potlucks.

We always make orange cranberry bread in a bundt pan and glaze it with orange icing. It’s wonderful with a cup of coffee on Christmas morning.
When the children lived at home, we'd make a spiced cinnamon pull-apart bread for breakfast on Christmas morning. Now we tend to make stollen although our local baker sells an exceptional one too. I'm also a lover of kulich even though it is actually an Easter bread.
