Let’s be honest, supermarket bread that is uniformly sliced and packaged isn’t manufactured that way because it tastes amazing. Unfortunately, it is created in this manner because it is inexpensive to produce. Moreover, this is the case so a lot of preservatives can be added to extend the shelf life. But definitely not for good taste!
The good news is that it’s simple to make bread at home, and doing so will ensure that your bread is free of the preservatives that are often included in commercially baked loaves. Not only does this provide a far healthier alternative, but it also allows you to make bread with the simplest of ingredients.
Why Making Your Own Bread Rocks!
Now, if we’re being completely honest, the best part of baking homemade bread is the amazing smell that permeates your home for hours afterward. The aroma of freshly baked bread filling the house is, quite simply, incomparable to any other scent.
No matter how full you are, even the sight of it may make you hungry in an instant. And if the aroma and visuals weren’t enough to convince you, there’s also the flavor. Actually, one might make the case that warm, freshly baked bread is the ultimate comfort food.
The best news, though, is that baking your own bread is surprisingly simple. Putting in a lot of time in the kitchen is not required. There’s no need for a microwave, a mixer, or any other high-priced appliance either. Just an oven, some baking sheets, and maybe a cheap baking stone, and you’re good to go.
Keeping in mind all the wonderful benefits, we’ve compiled five of our most beloved bread recipes. All of these easy recipes are bursting with flavor, yet they only require a few basic ingredients.
Making Bread from Scratch: 5 Delicious Recipes!
Classic Artisan Bread – A Quick & Easy No-Knead Bread Recipe!
The Artisan bread recipe is by far the simplest of the bread we bake. Despite this, it’s really tasty. To the point that it has been our staple bread for as long as we can remember.
Just five ingredients (flour, water, salt, yeast, and pepper) and roughly five to ten minutes will have you on your way to freshly baked artisan bread. In addition to being delicious, it contains NO preservatives.
The nicest part is that you don’t have to knead or labor very hard at all. Or, for that matter, a sophisticated bread machine. Just combine the ingredients and let it proof for an hour. Put it in the oven and marvel at the transformation!

Homemade Biscuits
Having a reliable biscuit recipe on hand is a need for anyone. There always seems to be a mealtime that requires biscuits, whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Homemade biscuits are ideal for biscuit sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, and putting beneath chicken and noodles. Our favorite way to enjoy them, though, is with some homemade jelly.

Sweet (Hawaiian) Dinner Roll Recipe
Trying to find a go-to dinner roll recipe? Then you’ll love our sweet dinner roll recipe. They work as well for formal or casual occasions. They are also perfect for creating tasty “mini” sandwiches.
Pineapple juice is the special ingredient in these rolls that you won’t find in most other roll recipes. Pineapple juice is used as a hydrating agent instead of water. Also, it adds a touch of sweetness that regular rolls lack.
These rolls require some kneading, so they do take a little longer to make, but the extra effort is well worth it.

Homemade Multigrain Bread Recipe
This homemade multigrain bread is another favorite of ours and a staple in our daily diet. It has 7 different grains and is cooked till the inside is light and fluffy and the outside is crisp and golden.
Sounds like it could be a challenge to prepare, what with the seven distinct grains, but rest assured! Only six simple items are needed. This is because employing a cereal blend in the components eliminates the need for a lengthy shipping list.
How simple it is to make, and how much flavor there is in the bread, will astound you.

Irish Soda Bread – No Kneading Required!
This Irish Soda bread recipe is another favorite of ours because it is so easy to make and tastes great. Soda bread, a staple of Irish cuisine, was developed out of necessity.
In times of scarcity in old Ireland, bread’s simple ingredients were the most readily available. Unlike the majority of bread recipes, this one doesn’t call for yeast, which is a bit of a shocker. Instead of yeast, baking soda is called for since it may be difficult to get yeast to rise in the humid conditions of Ireland.
It just takes five minutes to whip up because there is no yeast involved (and therefore no waiting for the yeast to rise). In addition, you won’t have to knead the dough at all. This is the definition of a no-fuss recipe!
