Eight easy and delicious bread recipes, perfect for your holiday celebrations. The best part is they can be frozen, thawed and then warmed in the oven on the big day!
The best way we know to simplify holiday entertaining is to make everything you can ahead of time. There will always be last-minute things that need your attention. But just think how happy you'll be to pull warm, homemade bread out of the oven that was ready and waiting for you in the freezer. Homemade bread really makes a meal, and these are some of our favorite recipes. They all freeze beautifully, just thaw and warm in the oven. Your future self will thank you!

Greetings Chris, from Canada,
Short note to say your site is my #1 "go to" as your approach to the love of food and presentation needn't be extreme, complicated or expensive.
My file comprised of your recipes printed has become so thick, my library door will barely close. Entertained Family and friends this evening for dinner and everyone raved and the women asked for the recipes. HA! Passing on the compliments.
Keep up the good work!
Have a Bountiful and Blessed Thanksgiving.
Cheers & Thank You!
Hi Bobby, thank you, you expressed everything that I wanted to tell Chris myself. So true, everything, from the printers recipes to spoiling friends and family with these beautifully tasty treats and being able to do so without getting stressed out myself. A treat for everyone! Love to Canada from UK
So sweet, you two! You made my day! I love being able to make others look like superstars in the kitchen, without too much effort. That's my goal so I really appreciate these kind and encouraging comments đź’•đź’•
Greetings all the way to Canada and the UK!! I love how the internet has made us all a little bit closer!
These look so good! I can't wait to try this recipe.
Thanks, Robin! Enjoy!
I’m a beginning bread baker, so I’ll try all the recipes. Just spent a few days in Asheville for our son’s wedding. I think we may have fallen in love with the town. Wedding at the Haiku I Do, luncheon at the Chestnut, and the whole family is staying at a VRBO on Ramsey Brothers Rd in Marshall. All-in-all, a small and intimate gathering of family in a lovely location. You both are fortunate to live here. Heading back to Michigan tomorrow. But, we shall return.
That's so cool, Michael! What a wonderful place to have a wedding. Yes, we love it here and often still pinch ourselves, to believe that we do live here! It's beautiful and there's so much to do. Plus we have family here which is the biggest blessing of all.
I think you'll find these bread recipes pretty straightforward and not too difficult. If you have any problems, please feel free to contact me.
Safe journeys home!
P.S. We LOVE the Chestnut!
Chris-
Love your recipes. A baker at our Growers' Market makes a round bread loaf that looks like your Rosemary bread, but has the 'everything' topping of your foccacia.
Do you think I could mix and match those recipes to make a similar bread. Her bread makes wonderful toast, but I can't get it after the market closes for the winter.
Maybe you'd like to work on it....
Hmmm... now you've got me interested!
I do think you could top the rosemary bread with "everything" topping with good results!
