Listen, there’s nothing—and I do mean nothing—that compares to the smell of yeast blooming in a warm kitchen or the sound of a shatter-crisp crust singing as it cools on the counter. If you’ve been looking for the real deal, you’ve found the motherlode.
I’ve curated our very best yeast-leavened bread recipes, ranging from the legendary Jim Lahey no-knead bread to the crusty Portuguese papo secos I grew up eating. Whether you’re a sourdough obsessive maintaining a decades-old starter or a beginner just trying to get a simple sandwich loaf on the table, these recipes are designed to work every single time.
