Bready or not! Here I Crumb!

No bread on the dinner table means no oxygen in the oxygen tank.  The earliest bread baked was as early as 8000 BC in Egypt and, it has been gracing our dinner tables ever since. 

It does make sense to just buy the every day consumed bread from the market, but store-bought bread has many preservatives added to extend its shelf life.  Also, this is an uncertainty of hygiene as well. 

When you bake your bread, not only is it cheaper, you can add the ingredients and flavors of your own choice. So to give you some awesome bread ideas you can bake for your family, I have compiled a list just for you

Raisin Bread

The light crumbly texture of the bread is enhanced multiple folds with the chewiness of raisins. This is a great recipe to add a twist to your daily used bread. 

Raisins are tiny but loaded with energy, natural sugar, fiber, and minerals. They would add texture, taste, and nutrients to your bread. You can throw in some chewy dried figs and apricots to create a more diverse and tasteful bread. 

This simple yet flavorful bread recipe can also be a snack with your coffee or tea.

Banana Bread

If there are homemade bread recipes, there has to be the talk of banana bread. As a housewarming gift or a party treat, banana bread is a yummy baked comfort food.

Bananas are packets of healthy nutrients, they have antioxidants, help in weight loss, are natural sweeteners, and even improve insulin sensitivity. Banana bread is in itself a complete dish and, you can add dry fruits like raisins, almonds, figs to create heavenly gooey goodness.

If you have extra ripe bananas at home that you cannot eat, make banana bread!

Ham bread

A new and unique spin on simple original bread is the Ham bread. Ham has this incredible umami flavor that is just wonderful and, combined with the dough would give us our new favorite kind of bread.  

It can be eaten with a simple marinara sauce or, you can add some cheese to it and bake it to make an easy new dish. A ham addition would enhance the flavor of this bread when eaten with other savory dishes. This recipe, just like the previous ones, is super easy to make and super tasty to make.

Garlic bread

Garlic is a wonderful item gifted to us by God and we are always in debt to him for giving us something so tiny yet so flavourful. A teaspoon full of garlic can change the whole taste dynamics or a recipe.

I have wasted so much money ordering garlic bread from restaurants but now it’s so much easier. Garlic bread is a great addition to any savory dish, be it pasta or gravy. 

From a health perspective, garlic has allicin which is an important antioxidant, it has minerals, and garlic also helps with blood pressure and protects the brain.

Turtle bread

Talking about new kinds of bread to make? How about something with chocolate and pecans? This recipe is just a perfect blend of crumbly, crunchy, chocolatey goodness. 

This recipe can be a sweet gesture you make for your neighbors, a perfect item to make for a tea party, and an easy dessert to end the dinner perfectly. Pecans combined with chocolate is a lovely combination and they compliment each other perfectly well. The name of the bread comes from its texture and appearance, raw, rustic, and irregular just like the turtle’s shell.

Potato bread

Our list of savory pieces of bread continues with this delicious bread. The starchy, creamy texture of boiled potatoes gives the ultimate softness to this bread. It is a perfect side item for the main dish because of its taste and savory nature. 

I am sharing an insider tip with you, this easy-to-make bread can be a legit amazing fried snack. Increase the potato to flour ratio, coat it with egg and flour batter, and fry it on a light flame. It will give you new comfort food on lazy cold afternoons. Potatoes help with digestion, inflammation, build immunity, and provide bone health.

Bread is an important food, loved and eaten all around the world and it is beneficial to have as many varieties as possible.

In addition, you should be able to prepare these recipes of bread at home, in order to ensure the safety, health, and happiness of your family. So, let’s crumble!
