Surely you have ever heard of pan de muerte (or bread of the dead), a recipe that every year, when All Saints' Day approaches, gains more popularity around the world.

I confess that I am in love with focaccia, whatever the way it is seasoned. Seasoned only with extra virgin olive oil, a little salt and rosemary, I find it delicious both to accompany some cheeses or the salad of the meal, and to eat it as it is.

I love raisin bread, and I couldn't stay without having a recipe that would turn out great in the bread maker, because it makes breakfast or mid-morning or afternoon meals much easier.

I bring you a very traditional braided bread in countries like the Czech Republic or Slovakia. Its name is vianočka and it is a soft sweet bread with a delicious touch of vanilla. Its name comes from the word vianoce, which means Christmas, and the braid originally represented baby Jesus wrapped in his blanket. But today it is not only done at Christmas, but is enjoyed throughout the year.

Vienna bread turned into a baguette and filled with a coating of chocolate chips. Can anyone resist this delight?

Vienna bread is a bread reminiscent of brioche, tender and rather sweet. In its preparation it incorporates milk, butter and eggs, and it is a dough that can easily remind you of brioche.
