I adore bread and the best kinds of all are those you can eat just as they are. By stuffing bread dough with filling halfway through or even before baking, you end up with a highly flavored bread that is a meal in itself. From classic garlic bread to fancier sweet breads, this is my definitive list of the best Stuffed Bread Recipes out there.
