Yeast Bread

A collection of sweet and savory yeast bread recipes. From cinnamon swirl bread to pretzel bites and garlic breadsticks to pepperoni pizza!

Baking with yeast can seem intimidating, but my easy-to-follow tips and tricks will guide you every step of the way.

WHAT KIND OF MIXER IS BEST FOR MAKING BREAD?

I have a Kitchenaid stand mixer that I use on a regular basis with the dough hook on low speed, but honestly, most of the time I mix my bread by hand with a Danish dough whisk. Works great!

WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO LET THE DOUGH RISE?

A warm place is a perfect place for yeast to do its thing. I preheat my oven for 60 seconds then shut the heat off. I place my bowl of dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap (that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) covering it inside my oven.

WHAT IS THE BEST KIND OF FLOUR TO USE?

I always use bread flour or all-purpose, whichever one I have on hand. My favorite brand is King Arthur. You can use all white flour or a mixture of white and wheat flour. I have not used this recipe for 100% whole wheat bread, but I’m sure you could.

If you are brand new to yeast breads, try my egg bread or Amish white bread first.
