Quick Bread Round-Up
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...The gifts I've made for our neighbors this Christmas are simple baskets that include a small bread board, a jar of cranberry conserves and two loaves of quick bread, one sweet, the other savory. I've made a lot of bread this year and I had to puzzle what my choices for gifting would be. I could have used any of the recipes that appear in today's round-up, but I finally decided to make a seasonally colorful French olive bread and streusel topped pumpkin and pecan bread that I particularly enjoy. I've found that quick breads make wonderful token gifts for the holidays. They are easy to put together and they are always appreciated. There is a good deal of truth in that old saw, "Nothing says lovin' like something from the oven." So, if you still have gifts outstanding, may I suggest that you fire up the oven and have a go at one of the recipes that appear below.

Of course these all look lovely...but I was particulary drawn to the olive loaf. We don't see near enough savory quick breads. My husband ADORES olives, so I may be making that loaf for him. Thank you for sharing with me. I hope you have a relaxing Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAnyone would be so happy to get any of these! The coconut bubble bread looks the best to me!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Nice to have some quick bread recipe this time of the year!
ReplyDeleteMonet, I am also drawn by the olive bread!

I like the sound of the pumpkin,apple bread. All my friends this year are being bombarded by jars of jams and pickles that I made in summer while in Frsnce. Diane
ReplyDeleteI would be so happy to have been gifted any one of these breads Mary. Have a wonderful Christmas!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll take a basket of everything! There's nothing like bread - it's a truly thoughtful gift. I hope you enjoy the holiday preparations this week!
ReplyDeleteHi, Mary! These all look delicious. Homemade gifts are the best!! I hope you are enjoying the holiday season! Blessings to you and your family!!!
ReplyDeleteYour breads look so wonderful! I don't mind receiving them myself too! Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteThey all look so yummy. Whenever I visit your blog, I feel starved! Banana bread is one of my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
I bet all of these are delicious! The Olive Bread looks so festive with the flecks of red and green!
ReplyDeletemary, all these loaves look fabulous especially the olive bread and i like the herb bread too from your past posts. Mary, just a dumb question from me, just wondering do all of these textures resemble cakes? i understand that sometimes you all call that 'bread' too.
ReplyDeleteThey all sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see all the quick breads lined up, almost like a trip to the homemade quick bread store, too bad I can't click on one to order! They look so good and remind me of Christmas morning where cranberry nut and apricot quick breads were our beloved early breakfast choices. Thanks for sharing Mary:)
ReplyDeleteThese loaves all look so delicious and lovely! I'd definitely love to make that lemon poppyseed bread!
ReplyDeleteA basket of any two of these breads would be most welcome! Have a wonderful and blessed holiday. I look forward to being with you in the kitchen in 2011.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Mmm there truly is nothing like waking up to a good quickbread for breakfast! These all look delicious!
ReplyDeleteMary all your breads look delicious. Your friends are VERY lucky! Happy Holidays :)

ReplyDeleteThat olive bread looks divine!
ReplyDeleteYour neighbors are lucky to have you. You are so nice with them.
ReplyDeleteYES PLEASE! To all of them!!!
ReplyDeleteMary, these look amazing. As usual I'm so impressed!
ReplyDeleteThese ALL look so scrumptious and could easily form a cookbook, of their own! Thanks so much for posting them in one place. Bookmarking, now! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna try toasted coconut bread at home. My husband loves coconut bread. I'll blog about it then after baking via Cuisine Delight.
ReplyDeletehi mary, thanks for your reply and clarifying that..i got a much understanding now. good day to you!

ReplyDeleteYum! Yum!

I am interested in the olive bread as I have quite a few olives that are languishing in the fridge. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice neighbor you are! I'm very curious about the olive loaf.
ReplyDeleteI just declared I was going to tackle baking in 2011, but I didn't think I'd be doing bread (scary). However, I have just bookmarked this olive bread because it is making me drool.
ReplyDeleteMary...that lovin' of yours spans across that roundup in the most endearing Foodie way. Nice to have your list all in one place ;o)
ReplyDeleteI'll need to come back and dig some more over the winter months.
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
I have been looking at olive loafs lately. Yours does look grand. I often give quick breads as gifts for the holidays. Nice to see such a scrumptious selection.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great assortment of quick breads! I prefer making them over yeast breads any day. I have a handful of these bookmarked and can't wait to try them in the coming year!
