CHRISTMAS BREAD
Meet the Cook: Some of my friends prefer this slightly sweet bread to fruitcake. My family enjoys it at Christmastime. I'll make it for potlucks, too, and I've found that friends like it for brunch and breakfast. Recently, my husband and I marked our golden anniversary. We're the parents of two and grandparents of two. -Betty Jean McLaughlin, La Vista, Nebraska

- Panettone. Dreaming of flying to Italy? If the budget still doesn’t permit, how about baking panettone instead? This traditional Italian sweet bread (which is more like a cake) will give your Christmas an Italian feel.
- Rosca De Reyes. Rosca de reyes is a traditional Spanish bread served during Epiphany. This Christian holiday is celebrated on January 6th, the 12th day of Christmas.
- Stollen. Next up, how about we head to Germany? There are many variations of the classic fruitcake, but the German version is one of the best. Stollen is a moist and flaky yeasted bread studded with tons of dried fruits, nuts, and candied citrus peel.
- Scones. To be clear: these scones are American, not English. English scones, which are called biscuits here, are round, light, and airy. They have a buttery and crumbly exterior and a moist and tender interior.
- Star Bread. Its name alone tells you how appropriate it is for Christmas. The star bread is as festive as can be. This bread has a super intricate design, so I understand if you’re reluctant to make it.
- Monkey Bread Muffins. These muffins are soft, sticky, and pillowy pull-apart bread covered with cinnamon sugar. They taste as if you worked hard on them, but the truth is, you’ll hardly work on them at all.
- Wreath Bread. This wreath bread will be the star of your Christmas spread. First of all, it’s gorgeous. Again, by the looks of it, you’d think it requires some pro-baking skills.
- Cornbread. The number of times I’ve had cornbread that’s just way too crumbly is too darn high. Oh, how I hate biting into cornbread that disintegrates like wet sand!
- Christmas Tree Spinach Dip Breadsticks. If holiday-worthy is what you’re looking for, you have just found it. I mean, how ridiculously festive is this Christmas tree breadstick?!
- Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread. If you can’t decide between chocolate muffins and pumpkin bread, I have just found you the solution. This chocolate chip pumpkin bread is calling out your name!
