Favorite / Classic Bread Recipes

No Knead Sourdough Bread

Our original contribution to the no-knead bread revolution: substitute live sourdough starter for instant yeast to create the ultimate no knead artisan bread loaf.

Artisan Sourdough Rye Bread

This is my favorite rye bread recipe of all time. I could have just as easily called it Swedish Rye Bread or Aroma Therapy Bread for that matter (takes the coveted baking bread smell to another level). And if you’re not into sourdough baking, no problem, I cover the instant yeast version as well.

How to Make Baguettes

The Breadtopia baguette recipe and video tutorial for almost no-knead baguettes. Easier than you thought, as delicious as you hoped.

How To Make Bagels

Welcome to Bageltopia; the Breadtopia bagel recipe and video tutorial for making genuine Vermont sourdough bagels (i.e. the best bagels in the world).

Seeded Sourdough Bread

With chia, poppy, and toasted sesame seeds, this bread smells delicious and is full of flavor. The crust is crackly and the crumb is soft and chewy.

Sourdough Ciabatta

If you could only have one type of bread to eat for the rest of your life, what would you pick? My answer would be, “Ciabatta.” Specifically, sourdough ciabatta, for the added complexity of flavor that natural leavening brings to the bread.

Sourdough Focaccia (Yeast Version too)

Sourdough Focaccia with a touch of whole grain wheat is a delicious treat but also a contender to be an everyday bread.

Basic All Purpose Sourdough Bread

You can make this basic all purpose flour sourdough bread recipe into beautiful crusty artisan-style bread or a soft and tender sandwich bread. You can choose either a 1-day process baking in the evening or an overnight refrigeration of the dough for a morning bake. It’s simple, easy to follow, and the results are delicious.

White Kamut Sourdough Bread

White Kamut sourdough bread is a delectable alternative to conventional white bread flour. Enjoy the buttery flavor and hint of sweetness in this ancient golden wheat. Even with a long cold final proof, the resulting bread has minimal-to-no sourness.

Whole Grain Ice Cream Sandwiches

These ice cream sandwiches incorporate nutritious whole wheat flour into the soft, delicious chocolate cookie of the store-bought classic. Keep a stash of these homemade ice cream sandwiches in your freezer to enjoy all summer.

Turmeric Fennel Sourdough Bread and Pizza

This unique and eye-catching bread has a tasty and surprisingly approachable flavor that is a bit peppery-bitter from turmeric and a bit licorice-sweet from fennel seeds. Try it as a bread or a pizza crust; you’ll be amazed by how many dishes it complements.

Rye versus Sprouted Rye in Bread Baking

In this experiment we explore the characteristics of sprouted flour with some real-world baking. We made two NY Deli Rye Breads, one with regular rye flour and one with sprouted rye flour and compared their fermentation speed, oven spring, crumb, and flavor.

Gnocchi with Garlic Scape Pesto

Homemade gnocchi are pillowy soft and they showcase the flavor of potatoes in a fun dumpling-pasta format. Try them with our tasty garlic scape pesto recipe or any sauce of your choosing, including simple butter and herbs. This recipe serves six or more so feel free to freeze some of the uncooked gnocchi and the extra pesto.

Kernza Sandwich Bread

Soft sandwich bread is a wonderful staple of most kitchens, and using some fresh milled Kernza perennial grain adds a delicious nutty herbal flavor and caramel color to the crumb.

Spelt Flatbreads with High Extraction Sprouted Flour

These flatbreads are made with flavorful high extraction sprouted spelt flour. The dough is easy to roll out and fries up in just a few minutes each side. Enjoy these breads for sandwiches or dipping in hummus, olive oil, lentil stews and more.

Corn Waffles and Pancakes

If you love the flavor of corn, these waffles (or pancakes) are such a treat. The heirloom corn flour and sweet canned corn combine to pack a tasty punch, yet the texture of the waffles is still classic with a perfect chewy inside and crispy edges.
