12+ Delicious Homemade Bread Recipes

I don’t have enough knowledge about baking bread to be honest, I am a little overwhelmed with all the information and bread recipes out there. I recently discovered on the Vox podcast that shelf-stable bread sold in the US isn’t really the healthiest one.

I have a 2-year-old, and we’d love to start baking bread as a family that we can make relatively easily and consume in a few days with one of my large family dinners. Don’t go anywhere if you search for famous and delicious recipes; you’re in the perfect place. Just keep scrolling.

A friend of mine suggested checking out some King Arthur Baking recipes. They are reliable, tested, and had lots of user feedback with easy directions and simple ingredients. They also have a help phone line if you have problems. So I did you the big job, I tested some recipes and they were a hit; the family loved it

Whether you are new to using a bread machine or you want to get some friends into baking with easy recipes to just get their feet wet, I collected my top 12+ delicious homemade bead recipes better than the one in your machine recipe book that will hook your family.
