If there is one good thing to emerge from the Covid-19 crisis, it’s that we’re having fun, getting busy and extending our skills in the kitchen. One of the biggest food trends to emerge on social media is making bread. From beginners to experienced bakers, there is a bread recipe for everyone.
Here, we’ve rounded up our six favourite recipes for you to try.
1. No knead beginner’s bread
This is an Italian-inspired bread to dip in balsamic vinegar, virgin olive oil and a dash of sea salt. It’s traditionally long and slow to make, but this version is no-knead, and you don’t even need a tin! Click here for the recipe.
2. Cheat’s sourdough
If you’ve ever dabbled in sourdough, you’ll know that all the feeding and cosseting can take over your life. But this overnight bread is based on French techniques: flour is initially mixed with cold water to form a ‘starter’, which gives the bread its characteristic, slightly tangy flavour.

3. Seeded wholemeal loaf
Wholesome and indulgent. The seeds add a lovely texture, while the black treacle gives a rich flavour and golden colour. Some 100% wholemeal loaves can be a bit heavy, so this uses spelt flour to lighten the texture. Click here for the recipe.
