Dilly Onion Casserole Bread

A few different things inspired this bread. First of all, I was watching a BBC show called Britain's Best Bakery, and there are some amazingly beautiful loaves of bread on that show. One particular loaf was made by a British Bakery called Thankful Bakery, and they used nettles and chives in their bread. They put a nettle leaf on the top to make it pretty. It was so simple and I loved it. I have no idea what nettles are, but I started thinking about that idea for an herb filled savory bread. Then, I remembered that my mother used to make a Dilly Bread, only rather than fresh herbs, she used dried. But, I figured I could adapt that idea to fresh. Also, I remembered that her recipe used cottage cheese. I had some ricotta cheese in my fridge and I wondered if I could make that work instead. Guess what! You can!

I started with some green onions, parsley and dill.

The beauty of this recipe is that it only takes 2 cups of flour to make a nice loaf to go with a soup or a stew, or just to eat all by itself! Also, It is almost like a batter bread because there is no kneading and you bake it in a 2 quart Pyrex dish! It is a super simple loaf to whip up.

You just mix it up, put the ball of dough into a well greased bowl and let it rise.

After it had risen, I spread some butter on it, dusted it with a little flour and couldn't resist decorating it with a leaf of parsley and a sprig of dill.

I was pleased with the pretty results!

After 40 minutes of baking it came out nice and brown on the bottom and soft and tender on the inside.

Trust me, you are going to want to give this simple, savory bread a try!
Below the recipe you will see tools and utensils similar to what I have used. Not exactly, my bread board was handmade for me, but I found one similar for you to see.
Happy Baking!

Do you have a big family dinner at your house for Easter? Or, do you keep things simple and avoid going to too much trouble when it comes to food on that day? Either way, a nice fluffy loaf of bread, or rolls and maybe some cinnamon rolls to eat with all of those eggs in the morning is something that is always welcome. The nice thing about baking bread is that you can bake it in advance of the day that you need it and then have it for dinner or a light meal.
Over time, on our blog, we have posted some pretty delicious recipes for bread that would be perfect for an Easter meal. On today's Friday Faves #96, we thought we would share some of our favorite loaves with you. We will supply the buttons that lead to those recipes so that you can have them at your fingertips when you are ready to start baking. You're welcome! These loaves of Easter Bread would make awesome gifts to share with friends this Easter season, too!

This Braided Bread is one of the favorite loaves that I learned to bake early in my marriage. It is easy and quick as far as breads go and very good.

You can read about the story behind this bread on this post. Click the button to go straight to the recipe.

Braided Bread

This Portuguese Easter Bread is a recipe adapted from my Sister-in-Law's family recipe. It is a big part of my memories of her.

Read about the traditions behind this Portuguese Braided Bread as related by my sister-in-law on this link. I think I could also form this bread like the braided loaf and tuck the eggs in the braid. That would look pretty!

Sweet Portuguese Easter Bread

This is the best and easiest free form baguette type loaf that you will find. We shared it awhile back and it definitely deserves another look just in case you missed it!

I shared this recipe a couple of years ago. It was given to me by my friend, Anita who got it from a friend of her's named Julie. It is so simple and delicious to make. I feel like many of you may have missed this amazing recipe. Check out the original post here.

I fell in love with these rolls the first time I made them. Light and delicious rolls like these are perfect for Easter.

Vegan Banana Muffins

I had 4 very ripe bananas that needed to be dealt with and I thought Banana Muffins would be nice. Often, Maddy stops by after work and looks for a snack and since she eats vegan, I thought I'd try making a vegan version of Banana Muffins this time! I am so pleased with how moist these muffins came out! And, they make a delicious breakfast this time of year, especially enjoyed with a Hot Cocoa Bomb! Our winter mornings here in Phoenix are still in the 40s, I know many of you are suffering with lower temps than that! Just having these Vegan Banana Muffins baking in your oven add such a warmth and a cozy smell to the house that helps you get through any winter blues!

When I put these in the muffin tin, I topped them with a bit of brown sugar, oats and a dash or two of cinnamon. It turned out to be just the right topping on these tasty Banana Muffins.

Since this recipe used all 4 of my ripe bananas, that's why they came out so moist! Instead of eggs, I used the vinegar and baking soda method to get the rise and softness that I wanted. When my husband tried one the first thing he noticed was how moist they are. No one likes a dry muffin!

Maddy said she will come try one today. I will let you know her verdict when she tries one! I don't think she will be disappointed! So, if you would like to give them a try, here is my recipe for Vegan Banana Muffins!
