Good Housekeeping Bread Recipes

The perfect end-of-summer brunch recipe or sweet afternoon snack, zucchini bread is easy to make and doesn’t require any complicated steps or techniques. This moist, flavorful quick bread (read: no yeast necessary!) is packed with fresh produce and sweetened with brown sugar and spices.You might be thinking, what is the point of zucchini bread? Why would I add it to a sweet baking recipe? Well, this recipe isn’t just a genius way to use up leftover zucchini (although it’s perfect for that too—there are about 2 whole zucchini in the batter!). The summer squash brings moisture and texture to any baked good, and its mild flavor is barely detectable. Spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, the bread has a similar flavor profile to carrot cake. If carrot desserts are acceptable, why not zucchini?

✔️Some recipes say to place the grated zucchini in a colander over a bowl to drain any excess liquid, but we found this step unnecessary. Just grate and add directly to the bowl!

✔️Feel free to customize this with your favorite chopped nuts (pecans would be great), extra spices, or even dried fruit or chocolate chips.

✔️Since this is an olive-oil based loaf, it will stay moist and last longer at room temperature than other, more cake-like baked goods. Store it in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap.

We’ve suggested using a freestanding mixer, as this dough is fairly sticky (this gives the bread its unique texture), but it can be achieved by hand. Grease your worksurface and hands with a little extra oil and knead for 10min, until dough its elastic and soft.

Swap the dried yeast for double the quantity of fresh, if you can get it (this will really heighten the doughy, savoury flavour). Simply whisk into the tepid water and set aside for 5min before mixing with the remaining ingredients.

A yeasty paste gives these rolls their signature cracked look and savoury chew. Use whole milk in your dough for a richer flavour.

Biga is the Italian word for starter, which is left to lightly ferment before being kneaded into the main dough. It helps to develop the bread’s flavour and airy texture. Best eaten on day of baking but see below for freeze ahead instructions.

This enriched bread, usually plaited, is a symbolic centrepiece at the heart of many Jewish celebrations, including Shabbat and Purim. The baked delicious golden dough, here made with plain flour, has a cakey, doughy texture. As wonderful fresh from the oven as it is toasted.

This unusual bread recipe is made with a batter, rather than by kneading a dough. Because it’s so wet, it only needs one rise. It doesn’t have a heavy chew, but it makes the perfect sandwich loaf.

Banana And Nutella Bread

Soda bread, originally from Ireland, is the clever cook’s loaf which can be mixed, shaped and baked in less than an hour. Serve with smoked salmon for a leisurely breakfast or with butter and jam as an afternoon treat.

We love the mix of sweet and savoury flavours in this loaf! Serve warm with butter and extra honey, or toast slices and top with crispy streaky bacon for brunch.
