Never Buy Bread Again – The Bread Book for Beginning Bakers
We give you easy to follow recipes for some of the most popular yeast breads and quickbreads – from sandwich bread to pancakes.
We self-published the book, so buying a copy is a great way to support the work we do here on the website.
Sure, you can find tons of recipes online, but I find it handier to have my favorites in one spot. (I’m personally getting hard copies of reference books with all the weirdness going on.) And isn’t it annoying to keep tapping the screen while you’re cooking so the recipe stays up?
You can bake delicious homemade bread – with no weird ingredients or preservatives – to nourish your family.
Once you’ve mastered this book, you’ll never be one of those folks scouting store shelves for bread when a storm is on the way.
Tried baking and failed? We have troubleshooting tips for the most common baking problems.

Here’s what our Readers are Saying about the Recipes in the Bread Book…
On the Basic Sandwich Bread:
“Easy to make, I can pronounce all the ingredients, and it is a family favorite!”
“I just want to thank you for this recipe. We make it all.the.time. I made the rolls 2 days in a row this week. It is a favorite in this family! Thank you!”
“Made bread and rolls for the first time today using this recipe. Lets just say YUMMY!!”
On the Potato Bread:
“This is the best bread ever!!!!!!! I mixed the ingredients in my bread machine and put it on the dough cycle, then I took the dough out and let it rest for 20 minutes. Then I put the dough into 2 loaf pans and let rise until doubled and baked them in the oven. The bread was soft and it stayed soft. This is the only bread recipe that I will use. I did freeze one loaf and when I thawed it out it tasted like I just made it 🙂 YUM! YUM!”
“Made this yesterday – what a lovely loaf! No need to change a thing; this one’s a keeper!”
On the Crusty French Bread:
“Just tried this recipe. I had my bread machine make the dough. I had never used bread flour before, only all purpose. This was AMAZING! The family polished off the loaf, still warm with butter. This recipe has gone into My Favorites!!”
“I made this last night & It was a complete hit!!! First time making bread & it came out beautiful & delicious!!! Thank you for the recipe & easy to follow instructions!”
On Betty’s Buttermilk Rye:
“Thank you for sharing your recipe as this is the 2nd time in a week I have used it.
So delicious, I love rye bread and this one made with buttermilk is the best:)
I used my Breadman machine on #1 setting and 1% buttermilk and came out with
A light crunchy crust with perfect texture and easy slicing.”
On Gram Irene’s Corn Bread:
“This is seriously the best cornbread ever! I am now famous at family gatherings for using this recipe :-). Thank you!”
“This recipe SAVED me! I’d just made a total flop on cornbread muffins from a food.com recipe. I know it’s foolish to try a new recipe last-minute, but I couldn’t find my old standby. So right before a luncheon, I made these after throwing the other “bricks” away. This turned out great!
