Homemade Bread Recipes
Learn How To Make Pizza, Cinnamon Raisin & White Bread
I can’t believe I am saying this…but I made bread…From Scratch…and it was MUCH easier than I thought! I will openly admit that I messed up on my first try by adding double the yeast, but the 2nd try worked out great 😉 I love bread, but when Good Cook asked us to post a bread recipe I wanted to make something that everyone in my family would enjoy…and that meant 4 different loaves. Thank goodness I have the Good Cook Mini Loaf Pan! My son loves pizza so I did a Pizza Bread for him, my daughter likes plain so I did one plain, and my husband likes cinnamon raisin so he got a loaf too.
In fact, my son ate the one Pizza Bread for dinner that night…thank goodness that was the one I made two of, so the rest of us could at least get a taste 😉
Now, if I can make several varieties…I promise you that you can too! Just find the filling that you think your family would enjoy. I do suggest really loading your bread up with your favorite toppings, the more the better!
Here are my three homemade bread recipes. I made one for breakfast, lunch and dinner 😉
Homemade Pizza, Cinnamon Raisin, & White Bread Recipes
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
Bread
- 1 ½ cups lukewarm water
- 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
Filling for Pizza Bread
- ¼ cup pizza sauce more or less depending on your taste
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup mini pepperonis
Filling for Cinnamon Raisin Bread
- ¼ cup raisins
- 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Combine all of the bread ingredients and mix with bread hook with electric mixer
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for about 1 hour – dough will double in size
- Flour your work surface
- Spray the wells of bread pans with baking spray - if you are making all varieties at once, you will need 4 mini loaf pans.
- Preheat oven to 350°
- After the bread dough has risen put it on your work surface and cut into 4 equal rectangles (if you are using a mini loaf pan! This is for 4 bread loaves)
- Place your fillings on the rectangle (bread dough) and leave about a 1/2 inch topping-free
- Roll the dough tightly starting at the end with the toppings. The more rolls you have the more swirls you will have in your bread
- Pinch the seam and ends shut to keep your fillings inside and place the loaf in the pan seam-side down
- Complete these steps for each loaf
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap
- Set your dough aside for about 20 to 30 minutes. The dough will rise again. However, not all your loaves will rise equally
- Remove the plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees for approx 25 minutes or until golden brown
- Remove the bread loaves from the pan and let them cool on a rack
- Enjoy!
