Sourdough is pretty good. Though I also like shokupan.

I'm just gonna copy and paste the recipe I have on file, that I copy and pasted into my baked goods file, the formatting is ♥♥♥♥ but the bread is good. It's more like a dessert though, not really... bread.

Bread Dough:

-Flour (357 g or 2 3/4 cup)
-Warm water (210 ml or 1 cup-2 tbsp)
-Instant yeast (1 tsp (Active dry yeast 1 and 1/4 tsp))
-Salt (1 tsp)
-Butter (42.6 g or 3 tbsp)
-Sugar or honey (1 tbsp or more according to your preference)

Filling:

-Soft Brown sugar (packed cup) (1/2 cup /90g)
-Unsalted Butter (softened) (1/4 cup /57g)
-Cinnamon powder (2 tsp)
-Apples (peeled and chopped, 3 to 5 based on size)

Glaze (optional):

-Cream cheese (1 tbsp)
-Butter (1 tsp)
-Powdered sugar (1/4 cup or 32g)
-Vanilla extract (1/2 tsp) or vanilla sugar (1/4 tsp)

or

-Milk (1 tbsp)
-Powdered sugar (1/4 cup)
-Vanilla extract (1/2 tsp) or vanilla sugar (1/4 tsp)

Directions:

Prepare the dough

Into a bowl, add in the lukewarm water, honey or sugar, salt, yeast and stir to dissolve the ingredients in water. Add in the softened butter. Add the flour. Combine everything together to form a shaggy mass of dough.

If you are kneading the dough in a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment and knead the dough for 4-5 minutes. If you are kneading the dough by hands, transfer the dough on to a clean work surface and knead the dough for a few minutes (5-6 minutes) until it form a smooth dough. This bread dough is an easy to knead dough. It is not a very sticky dough. In the beginning we may feel slightly sticky, that is ok; at this point you may be tempted to add more flour but do not do that. The dough will come together in about 4 minutes of kneading.

Shape it into a ball; then flatten it a little and then cover it with a bowl or kitchen towel and let the dough rest on the counter for five minutes. This is not for proofing the dough, but this is to let the dough sit for a few minutes so that the gluten stands will relax. This resting will prevent our dough from enormous rebounding back of the dough while rolling it into a thin rectangular sheet.

Divide and shape the dough

So for the next step of shaping the rolls, first we need to roll the dough into thin sheet (around 5 mm thickness). Pat, stretch and roll out the dough to form 15X14-inch rectangle. Then spread very soft butter all over the surface. Now sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon powder mixture as evenly as possible. Top it with the diced apple pieces.

Cut the dough into 4 long strips. Stack each of them. Then again cut them into 4 equal pieces. So that we will get a set of four dough strips with four layers of dough on each. Now place each set of dough in a bread pan. We can place them straight as in the video or in a random pattern. While doing this step, some of the filling will fall off, but just scoop up any apple pieces and add to the top or in between the layers of the dough.

Proof the Apple Cinnamon bread dough

Now cover the bread pan loosely with a plastic film and let the dough rise for 60 minutes in a warm environment. After 60 minutes, our dough will rise well. You may see the some sugar liquifying after this proofing. That is okay. It will then get evaporated and form into sticky caramel sauce like texture after baking.

Bake the apple cinnamon pull apart bread loaf

After proofing, place the baking tray into the 350 F or 180 C preheated oven. Bake for 45-48 minutes. After baking, let the bread cool down for about 20 minutes in the pan itself. Then remove it from the pan.

This pull apart apple cinnamon bread is delicious by itself. It already has a caramel sauce at the bottom of pan which is so nice. If you want to make it look more festive, you can add glaze on top. This apple cinnamon bread is one of the easiest and decadent breads that we can make and enjoy at home. Its so soft and airy as a bread cloud and filled in with warm aroma of cinnamon and succulent pieces of apples in between.

i always thought the loaf of bread aladdin stole looked really tasty

A well-made Lithuanian rye bread is probably the ultimate sandwich machine.

I also love a good, fresh pita

Brioche is a buttery succubus

Keeping sourdough starter going is a pain this far north, especially with the thermostat set to 60 to get my energy bill under control after that last insane summer, but it's worth it.
