Delicious Bread for Breakfast: A Tried-and-True Recipe for Over 20 Years

Serving:
This bread is perfect for breakfast, served warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. It also pairs wonderfully with eggs, avocado, or a warm bowl of soup for lunch.

Storage:
Store the bread in an airtight container or wrap it in a kitchen towel to keep it fresh for 2-3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it and reheat it in the oven when ready to serve.

Variations:
Add-ins:
For extra flavor, consider adding a handful of raisins, nuts, or seeds to the dough before the first rise.

Herb Bread:
You can mix in some dried herbs (like rosemary or thyme) into the dough for a savory twist, perfect for pairing with soups or salads.

FAQ:
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can use instant yeast. Just mix it directly into the dry ingredients, skipping the activation step.

Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, you can substitute up to half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a slightly denser, more rustic bread.

Why did my bread turn out dense?
If the dough didn’t rise enough, it may have been due to either old yeast or insufficient rising time. Make sure the yeast is fresh and give the dough plenty of time to rise in a warm place.
