Whether you're looking to make classic sandwich bread (here's a good recipe for you) or something a little more elaborate (this Italian Easter Bread is certainly a stunner), you'll want to bookmark this collection of all-purpose flour-only bread recipes.

Rhubarb Bread With Pecan Streusel Recipe

This tender rhubarb bread has a light citrusy flavor and beautiful flecks of pink rhubarb throughout. The crunchy streusel on top, complete with brown sugar, pecans, and hints of cardamom and nutmeg, takes this bread over the top and adds a delightfully nutty flavor. Be sure to use the freshest in-season rhubarb possible.

Turmeric Banana Bread

Turmeric Banana Bread Recipe

Though this company-worthy loaf is, no doubt, impressive, it’s really nothing more than a foolproof banana bread recipe with a few flavor tricks up its sleeve. A power couple combo of earthy turmeric and fragrant cardamon play extremely well with banana’s dense sweetness, boosting this classic quick bread’s comfy-cozy factor to new heights.

Poached Pear Bread

Poached Pear Bread Recipe

After poaching the pears, don’t toss out the poaching liquid. It’s infused with a lovely pear essence and would be great in cocktails, drizzled on pound cake, or stirred into Greek yogurt. For more flavor in the pears, you can add cinnamon sticks or star anise to the poaching liquid.

Rolled Sausage Bread with Rosemary

Rolled Sausage Bread with Rosemary Recipe

Although Leticia Moreinos Schwartz, author of My Rio de Janeiro, resides in New York City, every time she travels home to Rio, she runs to Bráz Pizzaria to devour pão de calabresa. It’s an irresistible, well-burnished rolled sausage bread baked inside a tube mold. Though a classic in Italy, it is still a novelty in Rio.

Sesame-Cashew Zucchini Bread Recipe

Got a boatload of zucchini? A loaf of so-simple quick bread is a delightful, kid-friendly way to put it to use. Incredibly rich in toasty flavor, this nutty twist on classic zucchini bread was a fast favorite in the test kitchen. If you don’t have cashew butter on hand, feel free to use peanut butter or almond butter for the creamy glaze instead.

Roasted Red Pepper Corn Bread

Credit: Jennifer Causey; Styling: Lindsey Lower

Roasted Red Pepper Corn Bread Recipe

Roasted red peppers gives this sweet cornbread skillet an added southwestern-style kick of flavor -- and we're sure not complaining about that. Don't have buttermilk on hand? No problem. Whisk a little milk or water into plain yogurt or sour cream to thin until the consistency is buttermilk-like.

Parmesan-Herb Angel Biscuits Recipe

Like a cross between a buttermilk biscuit and a Parker House roll, these tender, buttery biscuits have added flavor from fresh rosemary and thyme and nutty Parmesan cheese. Honestly, these angel biscuits come by their name because they taste like they’re sent right from heaven to our plate.

Butter Crust Sandwich Bread

Butter Crust Sandwich Bread Recipe

Touch guides you in three ways as you make this bread: Knead the dough until it feels smooth and elastic; press it to see if it has risen enough; and then tap the baked loaf to determine if it has finished baking. Serve toasted with preserves, or use for sandwiches.

Tere's White Flour Tortillas Recipe

"White flour tortillas are the staple bread in many traditional New Mexico homes. My mother taught me to make them by showing me the measurements in her hands--a handful of this, a pinch of that. At El Rancho de las Golondrinas, a Spanish Colonial museum in Santa Fe, I was known as 'the tortilla lady' since I made many batches of this recipe for museum visitors to sample." -TM
