Bread Recipes to Try at Home

The saying goes that if you want to sell your house, bake some bread. That’s because there are few smells more welcoming than the aroma of freshly baked bread, straight out of the oven.

Enjoying a slice of your own homemade bread, slathered in butter or dipped in oil is one of life’s greatest pleasures. While shop bought loaves can be filled with hidden additives, salt and sugar, baking your own bread means you can also take comfort in knowing exactly what ingredients have gone into it. And then there is the simple satisfaction that comes from baking itself- taking that time to transform a few ingredients into something utterly mouth-watering.

Here are some of our favourite, most moreish bread recipes- from everyday loaves to artisan showstoppers, and even some decadent sweet treats. Each recipe will show you how using your Kenwood stand mixer can help you get even more creative in the kitchen.
