It’s that time of year. Summer vacation is in the rear view. You’re back to the grind. The kids are back to school. Everyone’s back to their routines: It’s time to go back to bread. With the help of our new cookbook, the Big Book of Bread (order now!), this is the fall you can master sandwich bread, discover an easy everyday sourdough loaf, whip up flour tortillas for a weeknight supper, and make pan after pan of the softest, fluffiest dinner rolls you’ve ever tasted.
Think of this collection of bread recipes — a preview of some of the 125 recipes featured in our forthcoming bread book — as a capsule collection for fall baking. These are doable, delicious breads to bake (and bake again) for all occasions — or no occasion at all.
Everyday Bread
It’s all in the name — this simple pan bread calls for whole wheat and honey, and makes exceptional toast or a lunchbox PB&J.
Flour Tortillas
Tender and almost flaky in texture, homemade flour tortillas are easier to make than you think — and more wonderful than you can imagine.
Tiger Milk Bread
Mesmerizing to behold and surprisingly easy to make, toasted slices of this two-toned loaf will become a favorite back-to-school breakfast.
Everyday French Bread
With its thin, shatteringly-crisp crust and fluffy, soft crumb, this bread is an MVP. We serve it every which way (what can’t it do?); it makes the world’s best garlic bread.
Supreme Garlic Bread
Buttery, garlicky, crunchy: it’s garlic bread season. Our version is amped up with parsley, red pepper flakes and Parm, and we use a bake-then-broil approach for golden brown perfection. It’s supreme for a reason!
Challah
A braided loaf of enriched, golden challah is a wonderful way to end the week (or any day, really); transform leftover slices into superlative French toast, a wonderful way to begin the weekend.
Sesame Wheat Bread
This wonderfully nutty hearth bread has sesame seeds in the dough and all over the exterior. Slice it thick, spread it with peanut butter and top with bananas for a superlative morning snack, or use it for a fortifying open-faced sandwich.
Lavash
Serve these chewy flatbreads alongside a meal, or use them to make best-in-class wrap sandwiches for a not-sad desk lunch.
