This was Lou Anne’s project. Lou Anne Johnson works in our test kitchen, baking and cooking. And she loves to make little mini-loaves and package them up all pretty with ribbons and stickers. She makes quick breads and yeast breads in linking loaf pans, some not bigger than muffins and some half the size of a standard loaf. She wraps them in cellophane, ties them with ribbons, and sometimes decorates them with festive stickers. She’s convinced us that they’re easy, even the decorating.
In this issue, you’ll find a collection of recipes and ideas for decorating. And to make them really easy, she made some from bread machine mixes—mixing them in the machine and baking them in the small pans.
See how easy it is to make pretty little loaves.
