Apple Oat Bread

There’s nothing more comforting than the aroma of this Apple Oat Bread brimming with fresh apple chunks and a symphony of fall spices wafting through your kitchen.

Everything Morning Buns

Everything Morning Buns

Onion-Poppy Seed Bialys

Onion-Poppy Seed Bialys

Brought to the US by Polish Jewish immigrants in the 1800s, the bialy is now a Northeastern Jewish bakery staple most often compared to bagels. But unlike the bagel, bialys are round with an indent, not rings, and baked without boiling. We kept things classic with a seasoned Caramelized Onion Filling surrounded by pillowy-soft dough sprinkled with sesame and poppy seeds in these Onion-Poppy Seed Bialys. Though these beauties are delicious slathered with butter or cream cheese, they’re an absolute treat served fresh from the oven, too.

Chai Raisin Bagels

Chai Raisin Bagels

Like the more familiar cinnamon raisin flavor, only with a richer, spicier chai twist. The secret to this bagel is that it lets the raisins bring the sweetness—no sugar added.

Traditional Cream Cheese and Jam Danish

Traditional Cream Cheese and Jam Danish

Creamy and jammy, this is the classic Danish recipe that all bakers need in their repertoire. Use any jam of your choice, and you can also freeze half of the dough and make small batches of Danish.

Cheddar-Sausage Pull-Apart Bread

Breakfast sausage and pockets of melted cheddar make this savory round the unquestionable star of the breakfast table. With flaky pull-apart layers that are perfect for sharing, this is the recipe your weekend brunch has been waiting for.

Cinnamon Sugar Morning Buns

Cinnamon Sugar Morning Buns

It’s a callback to the cinnamon sugar-packed original but done one better. With our Danish Dough base and brown sugar and cinnamon filling, there was only one thing missing from these Cinnamon Sugar Morning Buns: crunchy, toasted pecans.

Spiced Pumpkin Bread

Spiced Pumpkin Bread

Maximum flavor and a soft texture for days were our top goals for this bread, and we more than succeeded. In addition to the fragrant blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves that comprises pumpkin pie spice, a pinch of black pepper adds a faintly lingering touch of heat. Dark brown sugar’s higher molasses content brings a caramelly depth of flavor and moisture, and vanilla extract adds floral sweetness. Using oil rather than butter lets the pumpkin flavor shine while keeping the crumb tender; plus, it helps create the cracked dome on top, the instantly recognizable sign of a quick bread.

Mushroom Quiche

Mushroom Quiche

Oven-roasted mushrooms and garlic are incorporated into this eggy delight to create an earthy, aromatic quiche. A pinch of ground white pepper adds a little sharpness to the filling while finely chopped pecans add to the rich, buttery taste of the pâte brisée. Altogether, this quiche is pure comfort.

Gluten-Free Banana Bread

Gluten-Free Banana Bread

Hazelnut and almond flours give this gluten-free banana bread a complex, earthy flavor. We love the addition of chopped hazelnuts, in lieu of pecans or walnuts, for a twist on the original.

Gingerbread Morning Buns

Gingerbread Morning Buns

Our gingerbread morning buns are the perfect holiday breakfast! We were obsessed with The Vanilla Bean Blog creator Sarah Kieffer’s brilliant idea to bake her cinnamon buns in copper soufflé molds. The copper’s superior conductive quality helps caramelize the sugary filling and produces perfect scrolls of pastry.

Spiced Apple Cider Doughnuts

Spiced Apple Cider Doughnuts

Apple picking may be fun, but let’s be honest about what really takes us to the apple orchard every year. It’s the small shack serving up freshly fried apple cider doughnuts and cups of deep amber-hued apple cider. Fresh out of the fryer, the doughnuts are piping hot and probably not entirely safe to consume just yet, but the temptation to take a bite into that pillowy, cinnamon-scented ring is irresistible. With this recipe for Spiced Apple Cider Doughnuts, you can recreate that quintessential fall experience in the comfort of your own home.
