Homemade Bread Recipes (15 of them) and Pizza Dough Too!

Interested in Homemade Bread Recipes? You aren't alone. It seems that as soon as Covid-19 hit, everyone started "Quarantine Cooking". At the forefront of this baking craze has been bread, as witnessed by the shortage of flour and yeast available in the grocery stores.

Let's Start With Artisan Breads

I've always been a fan of home baking Artisan breads. I have been making artisan style breads ever since I purchased the book "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes A Day". To me, it's kind of lazy style baking and I say that with love. Seriously, this book focuses on a large batch of dough but it keeps in the refrigerator for several days.

While this book is rather large with several recipes, I stick with two recipes: The Master Recipe & Olive Oil Dough. Feel free to let me know what other recipes are amazing if you experiment with the book.

The Master Recipe: Perfect for artisan loaves
Olive Oil Dough: Perfect for pizza, calzone and Stromboli

WHITE BREAD

This is new territory for me. I had never made regular white bread before. We were running out of bread and well, since I can't go to the store (weakened immune system - booooo to rheumatoid arthritis), I decided to try my hand at it. Everyone loved it so much and it was actually pretty easy;I think I'll continue to make this on a weekly basis even after our isolation.

Here's the link to the bread recipe I have been using from Brown Eye Baker.
