Winter is the perfect time to hunker down and create a cozy home with comforting scents and warmth, and perhaps learn a new bread recipe or two.
The most delicious bread recipe can help you fill your kitchen with good smells and hygge to help the winter season pass more quickly. Whether you are a beginner baker or an artisan craftsman, there is a bread recipe for your skill level. Stock up on some yeast and flour, and let’s get baking!
Classic White Sandwich Bread
Sometimes you just need the classics, and sandwich bread is a great place to start. The use of milk in this recipe helps create a tender crumb for that soft sandwich bread we all crave. This is a great skill to have in your back pocket for those times when the grocery store shelves have all been cleared–or you just don’t want to brave the outside world.
No-Knead Crusty Bread
Believe it or not, the name of this recipe is not too good to be true! This bread recipe is about as hands-off as you can be without resorting to a bread machine. The perfect accompaniment to a hearty, warming soup or stew, you’ll only need four simple ingredients: flour, yeast, water, and salt. It’s as simple as mixing together those common ingredients, letting the dough rise a couple of hours, shaping, and baking. That’s it!
Easy Homemade Wheat Bread
This most delicious bread recipe is versatile–you can customize it using either all white flour or add in some whole wheat for extra heartiness. The steps are simple enough to follow, whether you are kneading the dough by hand, or using a stand mixer. There are even directions on baking this bread in a bread machine. It really doesn’t get much simpler than adding ingredients to a machine and letting it do all the work, then enjoying a warm piece of homemade bread with melting butter.
Beginner Sourdough Bread
A global pandemic brought on a new level of interest in baking sourdough bread. If you’re ready to jump into this trend, this recipe gives you all the basics you need to know, from how to feed your sourdough starter, to rising, to baking. There is certainly a bigger commitment level with baking sourdough bread, and the extra time and care it requires probably fueled its popularity during 2020. That being said, it’s a commitment that is well worth the effort, with the rewards being a flavorful, chewy loaf that is also easier on the tummy.
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Not every bread recipe has to include yeast, and sometimes you need a sweet treat. Banana bread is a great way to use up old bananas and satisfy your sweet tooth. It also freezes beautifully, and is the perfect treat to leave on a neighbor’s doorstep.
