Love the roundup posts! I always catch something awesome I've previously missed. Though I've not tried the recipe myself, another blogger recently did a Chive and Cheese Biscuits recipe that looks good, too.

My style is a combination method--no-knead breads, that use sourdough starter, that take 5 minutes to mix together, age overnight, and then get tossed into the oven when needed. Wild yeast, very little hands-on time, better gluten tolerance...how could you go wrong?

100% Honey Nut Whole Wheat Sourdough

Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Sourdough

Pumpkin Sunflower Seed Sourdough Loaf

Hope one of those can help someone out of a holiday bind! Or you know, induce the carb coma that will cause her to no longer care that she's in a holiday bind. Either one, really. #AllAboutTheDenial

Wonderful post on breads. I tried the 15 minute cream biscuits; my Welsh hubbie told me they actually remind him more of the English scones. The ones here in the US are often way too sweet, so whenever we have a craving or a taste from home, I will make your biscuits.

I am a no-knead baker, love that technique and it's actually hard to believe I had this fear of yeast for so many years. Whatever method you choose, I think not many things are as rewarding as making your own bread!!

thanks for this post, 2011 was my year of baking a lot, so any recipe is highly appriciated!

Great list. My current quick bread obsession is Joy the Baker's whole wheat molasses bread. It's a non-yeast bread with only 6 ingredients. It's fast, hearty and delicious. Best of all, it works equally well as a breakfast bread or as an accompaniment to a soup or stew. Love. It.

I adore cream biscuits. They are the best. I use Dorie Greenspan's recipe.

Also, why do you need three hours for pita bread? I've made salt and water flatbreads (no yeast) before and aside from about an hour's worth of chilling in the fridge, they take maybe 45 minutes to an hour from mixing to finishing frying the last one.

Is there a link for the first photo? Or is that just a teaser?

@Ms. Vickie - It's the ciabatta from "If You Have Five Hours" in loaf form!

Many thanks Emma!

I'm very happy with the No-Knead Bread of "if you want to start night before". Now I'm using a new adaptation proposed by Jim Lahey to Mark Bittman: this only takes 3 hours to rise. Put 1/4 teaspoon yeast, 1/4 teaspoon wine vinager and 1 1/2 cups severely warm (not hot) water. By explaining: change the amount of yeast, the temperature of water and add vinager and this recipe can change of line to "if you have 3 hours". Wonderful!

This week on the Kitchn has been so interesting, so far! Every post is fascinating!!

And I happen to have bread dough rising in my kitchen as we speak. I love baking bread - flat breads, rolls, quick breads, big crispy loaves. I'll vary it according to the meal we're having. I like to start in the morning with somethings, and let them rise in a leisurely fashion, and others prepare as I make dinner (the non-yeasted flatbreads, like naan)

My most recent experiments have been a puffy, pita-like bread, with rosemary and roasted sweet potato puree in the dough. And a big couronne - a crownshaped French bread inspired by a French movie set in Nice.

Great post! Would love a similar sorted one with desserts (as I'm in a bit of a panic with only one hour to put something together tonight before a house or guests arrives.) :)

Love this post.

And, I agree with CANGELOBE, a dessert list like this would be great too. Thanks!

Great list of breads. I really enjoy making breads that take awhile, as I find it relaxing. I cannot wait to try out the herbed fantail rolls. I have been making a cheesy green garlic pull-apart bread lately, that is out of this world. http://chezus.com/2012/05/09/cheesy-green-garlic-pull-apart-bread/
