Sourdough is more than just bread—it’s a story you bake, one slow rise at a time. Rooted in tradition yet endlessly adaptable, this recipe brings together the wild yeast magic of European kitchens with the cozy depth of Southern baking know-how. The result? A crust that crackles, a crumb that’s tender and complex, and a flavor that tastes as good as my other bread recipes, like Homemade Bread and Raisin Pudding, and Honey Butter Sweet Potato Cornbread. Think tangy, toasty, and deeply comforting with every bite. Once you get the rhythm of feeding your starter and stretching the dough, it … Read more

Sweet, soft, and speckled with rainbow cheer, this Funfetti Quick Bread is a celebration baked right into a loaf pan. It’s like a festival of flavors, reminding me of Tokyo street bakeries where Castella Cake and Madeleine Cake line the shelves—and yes, this tastes just as delightful alongside them. The crumb is tender yet structured, thanks to proper creaming and a touch of yogurt, a nod to the French gâteau yaourt method.

Garlic Mozzarella Bread Recipe You’ll Want to Eat It With Every Pasta Dish You Make!

This image shows golden brown garlic mozzarella bread sliced into neat pieces, garnished with parsley and placed on a white tray over a white marble countertop.

Golden, gooey, and laced with garlic butter, this mozzarella bread is what I imagine a trattoria in Naples might serve as a prelude to something unforgettable. It’s the kind of dish that tastes right at home beside Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta or Mushroom Scallop Pasta—where cozy meets elevated. What makes this bread unforgettable isn’t just the cheese pull—it’s the technique. I brush the dough with roasted garlic-infused butter, then layer mozzarella using a staggered melting method I picked up while traveling through the Balkans, where dairy is treated like gold.

Bread Recipes

Crisp, airy, and endlessly versatile, lavash is the kind of bread that makes you rethink the definition of “flatbread.” Inspired by Armenian and Middle Eastern traditions, it’s rolled thinner than a Southern biscuit and bakes up with a crackly edge that practically begs for a good dip or wrap. This recipe leans on time-honored baking techniques, with simple pantry ingredients and a few key shaping tricks. It tastes especially good with Eggplant Parmesan and Baked Hummus Pasta—perfect for when your plate needs a soft, toasty partner.

Inspired by old-world fermentation and packed with the nutrient-dense grains I discovered while backpacking through Europe, this loaf balances rustic texture with bakery-level softness. But what really makes this bread irresistible is its versatility: one day it’s the base for a hearty breakfast tartine, the next it’s soaking up the lemony dressing from a Chicken Mango and Avocado Salad, or cradling the saucy richness of Baked Hummus Pasta.
