Rise to the challenge of a new recipe with these fun fall breads.
Fall is the perfect time of year to heat up the oven and start making fresh bread. With so many varieties to choose from, there’s sure to be a new favorite you’ll find! From sourdough to rye and whole grains to boule, let’s take a look at some of these healthy bread recipes for your fall adventures.
Boule
If you’re looking for an easy yet delicious bread recipe, try starting with boule. It’s a free-form artisan bread made with just a few simple ingredients. A nice crusty exterior and soft, absorbent inside make this a perfect bread to pair with fall soups, dips, or even a nice, toasted sandwich.
You can also get creative with the flavors in this bread. Consider adding thyme, rosemary, or garlic for extra texture and flavor, or create an herby olive oil and balsamic dip.
Sourdough
Probably the most well-known type of bread, sourdough is popular for good reason. It has a bit of a ‘tang’ or hint of sour, hence the name, and is nice and chewy. Great for sandwiches, toast, or even simply served with warm butter, your sourdough is sure to please. You’ll need to have a sourdough starter for this one, but it’s a simple recipe of combining ingredients and waiting for it to rise.
Once you have your starter, get creative with your baking! You can make sourdough bagels, cinnamon rolls, or muffins.
Rye
Rye bread feels like fall; it pairs perfectly with soup or chilis and absorbs every last drop in your bowl. Rye bread takes more ingredients than others on this list but still comes together easily and quickly. You’ll also be able to adjust your rye-to-bread flour ratio to customize the exact bread density and flavor profile you’re looking to achieve. This is certainly a recipe to play around with during the fall season.
Whole Wheat/Whole Grain
If you enjoy the crunch of nuts or seeds in your bread, or want to add some additional health benefits, try a whole grain bread recipe. This easy-to-follow beginner recipe will have all of the flavor and none of the fuss. It’s a bit more dense and would be perfect for sandwich or toast bread. Top it off with a sliced avocado and a fried egg and you have a delicious and healthy breakfast treat.
If you enjoy a smoother texture to your bread but still want additional health benefits, try a whole wheat recipe. You’ll have your home smelling like freshly baked bread and can enjoy your treat for the days to come.
Olive Oil Bread
If you want to try your hand at a lesser-known type of bread, give this one a shot: olive oil bread. It’s simple, yeast-free, and would be perfect as a side with butter, hummus, or with a hearty bowl of soup or chili.
Baking bread is a fun, easy fall activity to try, and you’ll be able to reap the health benefits of freshly made loaves all season. Get creative with flavors and textures, and enjoy your home smelling delightful! For more recipes and ideas, visit the CapTel blog.
