Discover how to make authentic Pita Bread, the popular Arabic flatbread, similar to naan but hollow on the inside. That feature gives it the great advantage of being an extremely versatile bread (you can fill it with everything from classic falafel to raw or roasted vegetables, or delicious strips of meat). And you'll love to know that it's a super easy recipe to make!

I’m excited to present to you a cinnamon recipe with a refreshed twist that marks the debut of our new and charming Le Creuset Noel limited-edition casserole. It’s a chance to share something special and bring together the traditional with the surprising. If you’ve already seen it, I’m sure you’ll agree with me in saying “It’s beautiful!”

You have to discover how delicious Adjarian Khachapuri is: today I bring an authentic culinary journey to Georgia, where this boat-shaped bread recipe with cheese and egg comes from, and which has captivated the hearts and palates of those who try it.

You’ve probably heard of pan de muerto (or pan de los muertos), a recipe that every year, as All Saints' Day approaches, grows more popular worldwide. It’s a rich, tender, and flavorful bread with a very characteristic shape (with strips of dough shaped like bones crossing it on top).

I confess I'm in love with focaccia, whatever way it's seasoned. Dressed simply with extra virgin olive oil, a little salt and rosemary, I find it delicious both to accompany some cheeses or the lunch salad, and to eat on its own. If you like it as much as I do, I invite you to make this Mediterranean focaccia recipe, which with the touch of ham, is delicious.

Baking bread is always one of the best options we can choose when we want to switch off and relax a little. But, if we also want to foster our more creative side, we can make a different shaping like this Pan Pelota.

I love raisin bread, and I couldn't go without a recipe that turned out great in the bread machine, because it makes breakfasts or mid-morning and afternoon snacks much easier. I wanted a loaf well filled with raisins, with a crunchy crust—the kind that crunches when you press it (yes, even though it's a bread machine loaf)—and dense, and this recipe meets all those criteria.

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

You will be surprised at how easy these delicious almond croissants (or croissant) are to make that I bring today. These are croissants we’ll make with puff pastry and filled with an almond cream that overwhelms the senses: the delicacy of each bite and its subtle almond flavor, combined with the tenderness of the pastry, make this an essential croissant recipe for the home.

I’m fascinated by all classic, traditional preparations, even those with a slightly old-fashioned or vintage look. I think they have a peculiar, distinctive elegance that makes them hard to look away from. Among the wide variety of typical sweets for this season, this year you must make the Casca de Reis, the traditional Christmas sweet from Valencia that should be on the table for Three Kings' Day.

If you still wait for Epiphany with the same excitement you had as a child, today's recipe will delight you. This Roscón de Reyes is a brioche-style ring, a dough that's approachable and easy to make, with just the right sweetness. And of course, it includes the traditional bean, which has always given us so many laughs at home, both young and old.

Vienna bread turned into a baguette and piled high with chocolate chips — can anyone resist this delight?

Vienna bread is reminiscent of brioche: tender and rather sweet. Its preparation includes milk, butter and eggs, and it’s a dough that can easily remind you of brioche.
