Something magical happens in the fall, and all of a sudden baking is all I want to do. It must be part of the coziness that comes with the autumn season, and I love it. There’s something about bread that’s comforting and warm, and irresistible. Make these recipes, and fall will wrap its arms around you!

Ask people about their favorite smells, and inevitably bread right out of the oven or bread baking is at the top of the list. It’s certainly on mine! As soon as September comes around, I’m ready to bake all the bread. Pumpkin, cinnamon, and apple are some of the best flavors of the season, and they are the highlights of this delectable collection of fall bread recipes that are a must-try this year.

Favorite Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of the most popular recipes on my site, this Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread recipe is very simple and easy to make. It’s chock full of chocolate chips, is moist and dense, and the sugared crust puts it over the edge. I am constantly asked for the recipe.

Cinnamon Sugar Bread

My goodness. Cinnamon and sugar make everything good, I have to say. The smell of this bread baking fills the entire house! Swirled through with cinnamon and sugar bits, Cinnamon Sugar Bread is so yummy, and easy to make. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or for dessert!

Easy Homemade Wheat Bread

Traditionally not exclusively a fall bread, wheat bread is a hearty classic, making is perfect for the autumn season. It’s easy homemade wheat bread with little kneading and no machine required that’s warm out the oven in no time! Swap out the peach jam for apple butter or honey butter for a perfectly fall experience.

Apple Fritter Bread Loaf

What more even needs to be said? All the flavors of an apple fritter donut wrapped up in a loaf? Yes, please! The authors say this Apple Fritter Bread Loaf is an easy quick bread you’ll want to make over and over again. I believe them.

Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

I love a lot of chocolate chips in my pumpkin bread, but this Chocolate Pumpkin Bread recipe adds even more chocolate right into the batter! With a hint of pumpkin and spices, it’s a chocolate bread I’m excited to put on my list this fall.

Apple, Cheddar, and Sage Biscuits

My mouth is watering right now, just looking at these lovely Apple, Cheddar, and Sage Biscuits. A savory fall bread that would work perfectly with a warm bowl of soup. Or how about breakfast?

Rosemary and Sea Salt Rustic Bread Loaf

Mmmmm, my mouth is watering! I can just imagine serving this Rosemary and Sea Salt Bread with a big pot of soup or stew. Rosemary is a very “fall” flavor, and it would be a beautiful addition to a Thanksgiving table, but also on a family dinner table.

Easy Pumpkin Spice Bread Twist Wreath

I was drawn to the lovely presentation of this Pumpkin Spice Bread Twist Wreath when I first came across this recipe, then it really got me when I saw it used frozen bread dough! The author states that while the twist looks complicated, it’s actually simple to do at home. I’m definitely ready to give it a try!

Pumpkin Brown Sugar Babka

Similar to the way you’d make a cinnamon roll recipe, this Pumpkin Brown Sugar Babka is rolled out and sprinkled generously with the filling. But instead of rolling them up and cutting horizontally, you cut vertically instead, then do a simple braid. Th end result is stunning, and quite frankly, mouthwatering.

Apple Butter Cinnamon Swirl Bread

If you have apple butter in your pantry from a recent trip to an apple orchard, or it’s a “to try” this fall, add this recipe to your list! An apple-y twist (literally and figuratively) on a cinnamon roll, that cinnamon swirl looks divine!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Chocolate is the perfect complement to this classic banana bread that’s a natural fit for the fall season. With only 15 minutes of prep, you can have warm banana bread out of the oven in no time!

Apple Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread

A sweet brioche bread that’s filled with apple and cinnamon, you can serve this Apple Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread warm or cold. Perfect for a fall breakfast or brunch, or anytime you like! I love the way it looks in the loaf pan–such a stunning presentation.

Dutch Oven Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Featuring a doughy center filled with cinnamon and raisins, and a crunchy outer crust, this Dutch Oven Cinnamon Raisin Bread looks irresistible. It’s baked in a dutch oven pot and uses only one bowl. Spread with sweet honey butter for even more deliciousness.

Herb and Cheddar Bread Wreath

Not only are the flavors on point, but this Herb and Cheddar Bread Wreath has beautiful presentation. Fresh or dried herbs–rosemary, sage, and thyme–along with sharp cheddar cheese, are the perfect combination for this gorgeous bread. Perfect for holiday baking, and all through the fall into winter.

Gingerbread Loaf

You may typically think of gingerbread as a Christmas flavor, but it works really well for the fall season too. Spices like ginger and nutmeg, along with molasses, are warm and cozy flavors, perfect when the days start getting more chilly. A Gingerbread Loaf would also be lovely at Thanksgiving.

It’s official–these recipes have all been added to my fall baking list. Can I start early? I’m ready to go! Now to decide which to try first…
