Warm, soft, sweet and full of flavor. These brioche style cinnamon buns are so good. I used brown sugar in the dough with a touch of cinnamon that adds a rustic sweet flavor. The cream cheese topping adds a richness as it melts over the cinnamon buns and seeps into the cracks of the buns. [...]

Here’s a beautiful loaf of bread, that’s not only stunning to look at, but delicious to eat. Coconut milk is a great substitute for cow’s milk in bread. The milk doesn’t have a strong flavor, but the hint of coconut is there. You can find a lot of quick bread recipes for coconut in them, [...]
