If you have your sourdough starter ready and want to know how to make homemade bread, today’s recipe is perfect for baking a wonderful loaf at home. This homemade sourdough bread baked in a clay pot is an easy recipe with spectacular results, thanks to the terracotta pot we’re going to bake it in. You’ll see just how soft the crumb and how crusty the crust turn out this way.

There are recipes that, when you try them for the first time, surprise you with how simple they are… and how good they taste. These buttermilk biscuits are exactly that: small pieces of dough, golden on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, that are part of the most traditional cuisine in the United States.

Today I bring you a show-stopping dessert, one that dresses up a table and invites celebration at the mere mention of its name. This raspberry mille-feuille with vanilla diplomat cream, made with homemade puff pastry, is an absolute delight. I assure you that as soon as you present it at the table, they’ll give you applause. And at the first bite, you’ll receive a heartfelt ovation.

As soon as the afternoons get shorter, I really feel like making recipes that require turning on the oven. One example is this winter galette, which hides a wonderful filling of roasted pumpkin and feta cheese and has a distinctly Mediterranean aroma, thanks to the thyme and oregano used to season it.

Yes, I know it's summer and it's hot. I also know that just thinking about turning on the oven makes you want to fan yourself, but I assure you that when you try this roasted onion and garlic focaccia you'll forget the 250º C temperature it needs to bake at, because you'll want to make it again at the earliest opportunity. That's why I wanted to share this recipe today, despite being in the middle of a heat wave.

If you adore cinnamon rolls, with their delicious topping and intense flavor, this Pan cinnamon roll will feel like a dream come true. A cinnamon roll, wrapped inside another roll that is wrapped in a third, and finally wrapped in a fourth and last one, forming a large cinnamon roll, perfectly baked, generously covered with a wonderful cream cheese and butter frosting and rounded off with the aroma and taste of cinnamon. Could you ask for more? I don’t think a response is necessary!

The lack of time in daily life shouldn’t keep us from enjoying delicious breads. A combination that will undoubtedly help your gut and make breakfasts more enjoyable is this walnut and fig bread. It’s an easy bread recipe that yields a loaf with a soft crust and a delicious flavor inside.

There’s something magical about making homemade focaccia: that moment when the dough begins to transform, the aromas of garlic and Parmesan fill the kitchen, and you know you’re creating something special. This recipe has it all: a crispy, golden crust that smells divine, a soft, fluffy interior that soaks up the finest olive oil, and the unmistakable touch of Parmesan that elevates every bite.

Can you smell it? That cinnamon-bread aroma fills the whole house and all my senses, which is why I couldn’t keep this recipe to myself! It’s a delightful bread! This cinnamon and raisin bread is very easy to make. It requires little kneading and I call it bread... although it would be just as fair to call it cake, since it sits somewhere between the two (it’s a bread that needs rising, but you won’t have to do a long kneading).

Perfect for a party snack or a family breakfast, this Brioche chinois con crema de limón that I'm sharing today is on the list of family favorites. Besides being very tasty and tender, it has the advantage of being one of those treats you can enjoy again and again, since, by simply changing the filling cream, it will never be the same.

One of the snacks from my childhood (and adolescence!) that I remember most fondly was bread with chocolate. A few squares with a slice of bread made me the happiest girl in the world. That bread tasted like heaven and what can I say about the chocolate! With today’s recipe we’ll turn that fantastic duo into a single piece, shaping it into a mini chocolate baguette that will delight everyone at snack time or at breakfast.
