    Breads

    There's nothing quite like the smell of fresh-baked bread! Here you'll find a collection of my best bread recipes so you can enjoy bakery style breads at home.

    I've got everything from your basic no-knead bread to an elaborate apple and honey babka and plenty of small batch bread recipes, like my super popular mini focaccia recipe, too. Looking for something sweet? Try my chocolate chip brioche. For something more savory, try my soft baked ciabatta bread.

    With tips and step-by-step visuals for kneading, rising, and baking, you can feel confident in your bread-making skills. These homemade bread recipes are perfect for beginners and busy home cooks.
