Bread

Bread recipes intimidated me until I realized you don’t need fancy equipment or perfect technique to make incredible homemade bread.

My first loaf was dense as a brick, but I learned that New Orleans humidity actually helps with rising. Now I make bread that rivals any bakery.

The smell of fresh bread baking brings my whole family to the kitchen. My kids love helping with the kneading – it’s become our weekend tradition.

These bread recipes range from simple no-knead loaves to special occasion treats. Most use ingredients you already have in your pantry.
