Bread, Muffins, and Rolls
Bread recipes can intimidate a seasoned baker. That’s why many of my bread posts include so many photos and sometimes a video. I want you to feel good about your bread, muffins, and rolls, and not fear when trying a new recipe.
Bread recipes are like an ancient love language. Nothing evokes the senses like the smell of homemade bread, muffins, and rolls baking in the oven.
Our bread recipes are defined in 3 ways.
- Quick bread recipes are those bread recipes that don’t require instant yeast or a starter. These bread recipes rely on baking powder or baking soda to help them rise.
- Dry yeast bread recipes that use dry granular yeast. They’re also called Rapid Rise, Instant, and Active Dry.
- Starter Bread Recipes – These bread loaves are often referred to as Sourdough, Artisan, or No-Yeast Bread. They require a starter grown from flour and water until natural yeast is activated. You can make your own starter using our easy instructions.You can also make a lot of recipes using sourdough discard.
- Overnight Sourdough recipe is a great recipe whether you’re a beginner or an advanced baker. It’s one of my most popular posts.
- Rye Sourdough and Spelt Sourdough are not your traditional recipes but you and I love them.
- Sourdough makes delicious sandwich bread too. Take a look at how I converted dry yeast with a starter in this recipe.
We have lots of videos and process photos as well as a Basic Baking document that explains ingredients, techniques, and the tools we use. We want to make sure your homemade bread, muffins, and rolls recipes are a success.
As always, be sure to contact me with your questions and comments.
