Panning for Bread Recipes

[torquill]

I'm looking for bread recipes that people particularly like. Batter breads are all right (like banana bread) but what I'm really looking for is kneaded dough breads. It doesn't have to be made by hand -- a recipe that came with the bread machine that turned out really good would qualify. Challah, fruit bread, white bread, french bread, raisin bread... you name it.

I'm particularly interested in breads that were made by relatives, if you have the actual recipe. I may end up adapting it and using it (with attribution) in any compilation I make, so if you're not comfortable with that, don't contribute it.

I'm essentially trying to branch out beyond Bernard Clayton's book for recipes to adapt to the gluten-free method; I have my own grandmother's white bread (which adapted very well), but more breads to play with would be good. You can certainly have a loaf or two of the results if they come out well during testing. :)

I've got my family banana bread, which I'd be happy to pass on, but all of my kneaded breads are straight out of cookbooks.

I'll try to bug my mom for the babka bread. I made it a few times, and it was passed down from my Polish grandmother. I always had to cut the recipe in half cause it makes a huge amount.

If you've got a good one in a cookbook, I'd love to have it. Just let me know enough bibliographical info that I can attribute it.

Keep in mind that so far, all but one of the recipes I have are already adaptations from a published cookbook... that's not a problem. :)
