Easy Homemade Bread
With the winter months upon us, it’s time for comfort food. I’m sure you’ll agree that homemade bread is top on the list of comfort foods.
Making homemade bread doesn’t get any easier than this. No yeast is involved in the making of this bread.
So you don’t have to wait for your bread dough to rise. Just combine ingredients and bake. Easy peasy.
Bread made without yeast does have a different texture than bread made with yeast. It has a denser texture, much like that of Irish soda bread. It makes a great toast and is also delicious with a schmear of butter.
You might want to drizzle some Hot Honey over a sliced of toasted bread. OMG, now that would be a taste of heaven!
You will want to make an extra loaf of this delicious bread and turn it into homemade croutons for your next salad. Trust me when I say, they are so easy to make and are a taste of heaven!
And since this is a basic bread recipe you can easily change it up and stir in some favorite flavors to it such as:
- Caramelized Onion
- Chopped dried fruit
- Chopped olives
- Chopped sundried tomatoes
- Dried herbs
- Fresh herbs
- Garlic
- Nuts
- Pepperoni
- Pesto
- Poppy seeds
- Raisins
- Sesame seeds
- Shredded cheese
- Spices
I can’t think of a better way to fill my belly than with a slice or two of warm homemade bread slathered with butter, especially when it's so easily made without yeast!

On a rainy, unusually warm Covid day in GA I decided to try the Bread and the pickled onions this afternoon. Both were easy and the bread looks beautiful as it’s cooling on the rack. Will see if it managed to stay intact till dinner!
