100 Easy, Flexible Ways to Make Bread On Your Schedule

Conchas

Use it Up

If baking bread becomes part of your regular routine, you’ll likely want ways to use it beyond simply digging in. Some of these recipes are great for using bread right away. Others work well when bread is a little past its prime. While you can freeze many breads, you might want bread that’s a bit past its prime just to make some tasty treats and satisfying meal options. This section offers recipes from breakfast to dessert to help use up any leftover bread.

Getting Bread On Your Table

Make bread baking an everyday pleasure.

In this book, we tackle one of the most challenging aspects of bread baking for even advanced bakers: time. Make bread baking an everyday pleasure with this collection of recipes’ flexible timeline that adapts to your schedule — whether you want to get bread on the table tonight or to spread out the process over a few days. Let America’s Test Kitchen make bread baking a source of immeasurable joy.

Quick Breads Rolls and More Sandwich Slices No-Knead Dutch Oven Breads Pizza and Flatbreads Enriched Breads

Quick Breads

Real Bread Without Yeast, Kneading, or Time.

Quick bread recipes might be the gateway to a lifestyle of turning out fresh bread in your kitchen every week. While they lower the bar of entry, they’re also just fun to make and delicious in their own right.

Rolls and More

Rolls Don’t Need to Come From A Bag.

The rolls in this book are accessible to anyone, due in part to how you can manipulate the timeline for making them, and in part to the easy-to-follow techniques we use for them.

Sandwich Slices

Serve Sandwiches On Homemade Bread Every Day.

Once you learn how easy it is to make homemade sandwich bread, it will feel like a breeze to make two loaves per week—and fun to try a new kind each time.

No-Knead Dutch Oven Breads

You Really Can Make Bakery Loaves At Home.

What if we said that all you need to make bakery-quality breads, as a beginner or an expert, are a hot oven and a Dutch oven? Our recipes show just how to produce a baker’s shelf full of the very best breads, all using this method.

Pizza and Flatbreads

Bread: It’s What’s For Dinner.

Bread doesn’t just accompany the meal—it can be the meal. Case in point: flatbreads. In every culture, satisfying meals are built on the foundation of flavorful flatbreads. If, as we hope, baking bread becomes a pleasure for you, our flatbread recipes can turn that pleasure into a weekly menu helper.

Enriched Breads

Enriched Breads Aren’t Just For Special Occasions.

Enriched breads might seem like the Cadillac of breads, baked goods only the most nimble of pastry chefs can craft. That was certainly the case with enriched breads of the past. But this book scratches the record hard on that. In fact, with these recipes, we might go as far as to say we’ve revolutionized enriched bread.

Rise On Your Time

Convenience and bread baking may seem mutually exclusive to you. While there are alternating hands-on and hands-off steps and sometimes long periods of waiting that come along with yeasted doughs, this up and down time is what allows you to adapt bread recipes according to your own timetable. No matter the bread, no matter the steps, you can make bread work for you.

There are two points in the bread baking process that you can shorten or elongate depending on how much time you have to babysit your bread:

The first rise (fermentation)The second rise (proofing).

Two factors controlling the activity of yeast are temperature and time (and time is the busy baker’s friend). A room-temperature rise puts you on a faster track to bread, which could be convenient if you have a day without plans or you just want bread ASAP (although we can also suggest quick breads for that). But in many cases rising can take place in the refrigerator. Chilling things doesn’t kill yeast or stunt its abilities, but it does slow down its activity, so rising to the appropriate level or fermenting adequately can take place over longer periods of time.
