Celebrating with a New Orleans Style King Cake
This New Orleans style King Cake is made from a cinnamon spiced yeast dough.

Whoever finds it hidden in their slice is honored with a gift and/or the responsibility of hosting the next gathering during the Mardi Gras season.
Ham and Cheese Bread
This vintage recipe is a great way to use leftover ham. Sprinkled with grated cheese and sesame seeds, Ham and Cheese Bread is pretty and versatile. It makes a great recipe for a casual dinner, a packed lunch or a tasty snack. Any leftover bread, sliced and toasted, works nicely as a quick breakfast.

Transform pumpkin and brown sugar, along with flour, salt and yeast, into a wonderful seasonal bread. The dough for Pumpkin Yeast Braids can be shaped into braided loaves or, if you prefer, into sweet little biscuits to serve with brunch or dinner.
Pumpkin Ribbon Bread with Cream Cheese Filling
Pumpkin Ribbon Bread is a bit unique but still filled with the flavors and scents of the season. This deliciously spiced quick bread includes an appealing layer of cream cheese filling and a fresh hint of citrus.
Pumpkin Chocolate Bread
Pumpkin and chocolate flavored batters are beautifully marbled to create a delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Bread. Drizzle this dense rich loaf with melted semi-sweet chocolate for an inviting autumn dessert.
