19 Best Homemade Bread Recipes

Published: Mar 30, 2019 · Updated: Mar 30, 2024 by Marye

The best homemade bread recipes, in my opinion, are the ones that have either been handed down through the generations or I find scribbled in the flyleaf of one of my old cookbooks. There's always something to learn - a new technique, a new way of helping the dough rise higher, a new way to get that buttery, tender loaf everyone drools over. Here are 20 of my favorites for you to try and enjoy. You'll find even more recipes in the Bread Category.

Whole grains have a nutty flavor and kind of a chewy texture. They can be dry and crumbly - usually because they're not kneaded enough.

High, light, slightly sweet loaves of cracked wheat bread are so good for sandwiches and toast! The mix of flours in the recipe ensures that the finished loaf won't be tough and crumbly.

    Your site is very informative on all the different flours, and your recipes are some of the ones my Mom used to make. bread takes practice. Mom always had wonderful bread. always had non fat dry milk in the house. She also would use the left over potato water per instructions from my Dad ( he worked at Martha White Flour Company when he was 14 yrs. old) The old baker there taught him. The best potato bread with the water. its crown was bigger than Sunbeam! Do You Have The Recipe For The Sun Dried Tomato Bread? There was no button to click on for it. Would like to have it as I really like the Panara's Tomato Bread. But this swirl looks awesome!

      No I think the sun dried tomato bread is gone but it was very similar to the tomato swirl bread.
