Is there anything more tempting than a fresh baked slice of bread with butter? The flavor always sends me back to my childhood when I could not wait to get a slice of bread fresh from the oven. With over 125 recipes, you will find a savory bread to serve with most any meal. Â Serve the breads with soups, stews, chilis, salads, casseroles or with your favorite meats. Â Savory breads add a new dimension to simple suppers or gourmet meals.
 I have included my favorite sweet and savory butter recipes. Slather your fresh baked bread or muffins with your butter creations. Don't just save the butters for breads.  Savory butters are excellent on meat, potatoes, rice, pasta and vegetables.
Do not shy away from yeast breads because you think they are hard to make. Yeast breads are not hard to make but they do require time. Most of the time is spent letting the bread rise. You can whip out a yeast bread dough in no time with a mixer.
