For Team , the holidays are all about breaking bread with our loved ones, and we mean that pretty literally. Baking up a festive loaf of Christmas bread is not only a fun, delicious family activity, but it's a long-held tradition with roots in many cultures around the world. We're pretty sure after you bake up a batch of buttery brioche, Italian panettone, or spiced gingerbread, you'll find yourself baking up these sweet & savory Christmas breads all year round.
. It's an iconic holiday dessert for a reason, as well as one of our favorite edible homemade gifts. Speaking of homemade gifts, no one has ever been disappointed being gifted monkey bread or Irish soda bread. Personally, we'd love to see a chocolate babka under the tree with our names on it.
Gingerbread and fruitcake aren't the only holiday breads on the market, though. There are plenty of Christmas breads from all around the world that extend beyond your traditional fruit-studded loaf. In France, they traditionally make a bread around the holidays called

Fresh out of the oven, each of these rolls has a crispy bottom, buttery top, and unbelievably soft center. The secret? Starch from potatoes.
These rolls are a great alternative to regular rolls during Christmas. This dough is a bit on the sweeter side, so it lends beautifully for a pre-dinner roll or for pulling apart and eating on its own too. These rolls also taste phenomenal when toasted!

My Favourite Christmas Bread Recipes
If you love butter, you'll live for this brioche bread. This recipe produces two loaves, each containing a whole stick of butter—so you can imagine how rich each fluffy bite will be.
Thanksgiving is all about the turkey and potatoes; December is the time for cheese and bread. If you agree, you need this pull-apart Christmas tree. Not only is it freaking beautiful (look at that buttery golden star!), it's insanely delicious too. One mozzarella-stuffed pizza dough ball in, and you, along with everyone else at the party, will be hooked.
Did you know that the American version of monkey bread has roots in Hungary? The dessert, Arany Galuska, which translates to golden dumpling, was brought to America by Hungarians and was originally referred to as a Hungarian coffee cake before it eventually evolved into the monkey bread we know and love today. It's the softest, fluffiest version of monkey bread, which makes it nearly impossible to stop eating. Each piece of dough is generously coated in melted butter and cinnamon sugar, making the whole thing taste like a cinnamon roll.

In England, where these very savory little bakes hail from, the word “pudding” has a very different meaning than it does stateside. Yorkshire puddings are almost identical to popovers. The recipe is the same except instead of using melted butter, these are traditionally made with beef drippings or rendered beef fat. That beef fat is usually the result of cooking a big Sunday beef roast, to which Yorkshire puddings are a traditional accompaniment, but if you aren't making a beef roast, you can buy beef fat (aka tallow), lard, or just use butter. Not planning on a roast beef? Yorkshire puddings also go nicely with other large-format dishes like roast chicken or prime rib.
The flavor squad is here to provide standard corn muffins with a mega boost. The result is pimiento cheese corn muffins, which take their cues from the classic Southern cheese dip. Packed with shredded cheddar, diced pimiento peppers, garlic powder, and a generous amount of cayenne, the result is a savory delight.
A Jewish sweet braided bread loved by all, babka is stuffed, rolled, then baked with a variety of fillings. Chocolate babka tends to dominate the flavor popularity contest, but there's a certain appeal to a cinnamon babka that just can't be denied—which is why this recipe snuck both into the mix.

When it comes to biscuits and other bread products, sweet potatoes are magical. Adding them to dough results yields softer and fluffier results. This recipe benefit from minimal handling (perfect for a busy holiday!) and is just as easy as preparing traditional buttermilk biscuits.
Though the dough for this recipe is rather traditional, how we serve it (with chocolate 😅) is not. We messed with tradition and replaced the currants with mini chocolate chips. This upset a lot of our fans on Facebook. Because apparently, not even currants are authentic. Traditional Irish soda bread has no mix-ins, so feel free to go that route if you like!There is no doubt that the holidays are a time for baking, baking and more baking! From Christmas cookies to cupcakes that are decorated with red and green frosting galore, there is always something delicious to bake around this time of the year. Whether it’s a tradition to make cinnamon rolls every Christmas morning or if you were inspired by The Great British Baking Show and want to experiment in the kitchen, this is the best time of the year to get in the kitchen and whip up some beautiful Christmas bread.
Christmas breads are often more decorative and have celebratory qualities to them, such as the Bulgarian Christmas Bread that symbolizes prosperity for the upcoming year. Other classic Christmas breads from around the world include Panettone or Stollen which are filled with fruits and nuts. Whatever type of bread that you like, you can’t go wrong with the ones we have listed below! Alternatively, if you have your hands full this holiday season but still want to enjoy a warm, fresh loaf of bread, you can add one of these bread makers to your wish list. Just add the ingredients to the machine, and a few hours later you will have a freshly baked loaf.
Epic Christmas Vegan Savoury Loaf/roast
This butter-brushed and sugar-dusted classic German loaf is made 3-4 weeks before serving so it has time to develop its balanced flavor. A good stollen should have a consistency similar to quick bread or biscuits, says Julia Foerster, the blogger behind Plated Cravings.
Foerster grew up in a small village in northern Bavaria, where her paternal grandparents would dole out stollen as Christmas gifts. She recommends making the bread from scratch because the dessert lasts “forever” — she once forgot about a loaf she'd baked, and upon
