Choosing your morning bake
For slices to share, choose cinnamon swirl or honey-fig-walnut loaf. Muffins and biscuits offer individual portions, while berry galette or quinoa-vegetable bake can anchor a brunch table. Prepare cooked ingredients in advance where the recipe calls for them, and allow loaves and bars to cool before slicing.
Before you start
Read the complete recipe and check its pan size, ingredient preparation and cooling or chilling steps. Use the specified flour and follow any separate topping instructions. Storage needs vary across these recipes; use each recipe’s guidance rather than one rule for the whole collection.
