We’ve had a tremendous response to BYOB so far this year. Several new bakers have joined in the fun for 2011. I’m excited about baking with such a wonderful group of bakers. 
The idea behind BYOB is that instead of running to the store to buy a loaf of bread, pastry or sandwich buns, you make them yourself.

For the monthly roundup, I did things a little bit different this time. We have some non-bloggers participating in the fun so they’ll be included in the roundup as well. Some of them have submitted photos and some just a list of the breads they’ve made. Either way, I’m excited to showcase everyone’s efforts.
Here are the breads and other baked goods the BYOB Bakers made in January 2011. I hope you enjoy all of these wonderful breads.

Kathi of panini happy made these mouth-watering cheese-stuffed loaves. I think they look just fine on their sides. I like the cheese oozing out.

Frieda of Frieda Loves Bread tried her hand at Sourdough and revisited the Sullivan Bakery No Knead bread. Looking good!

Cindy in Cedar Park, Texas baked a wonderful assortment of breads in January. Here is her list of breads along with some photos:
- Amish Friendship Bread – I baked this in a bundt pan. This is great for breakfast.
- Banana Nut Raisin Muffins – we usually make a batch of these every month.
- Focaccia Bread – we love to eat this spread with fresh guacamole, grilled onions and red peppers, and topped with garlic and herb feta cheese. We also made mini-pizzas with it.
- Garlic Naan Breads – spread with garlic hummus, these are great for a light lunch eaten with fresh fruit. We make a batch of these every month.
- Zuchini Muffins – first time making these. Just like Banana Nut bread only with shredded zuchini instead of bananas.
- Sourdough Bread – toasted with butter, it is a wonderful accompaniment for the soups we enjoyed this month: turkey rice, sausage and potato, and tomato basil. This bread also makes great french toast.
- Homemade Pizza Dough – used for a pepperoni pizza. My bread machine finally died so I had to find another pizza dough recipe to make by hand. Didn’t turn out quite right this time. Need to bake the crust more before adding the toppings. Plus I probably should increase the temperature since the dough is much denser.

Whole Wheat Bread – for sandwiches. |

Raisin Challah – wonderful for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We’ll enjoy some tonight with our Fajita Chicken Spinach Salad. |
