In our society living without bread is tricky. It is everywhere. When you try to order a meal without it you often get strange looks, rolled eyes, or the "it's fine I'll just pick it off later." Most of the time I am okay being that person, but sometimes you just want a good roll to dip in sauce, biscuit to smother with jam, or bread to hold some lunch meat. Enter my go to bread recipes. These are all easy and delicious in their own rights, but very different in result.
This first one is very eggy. It's good as a meal, but can also be dipped in sauces or spread with cream cheese. It's also the one that probably takes the most patience to make.
Spinach Bread
- 5 eggs
- 16 oz frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
- butter
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
3 cloves crushed garlic
Chop the nuts up in a food processor. Mix eggs, garlic, basil, nuts, and spinach together in a mixing bowl. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Pour it into your greased pan and cook for about 15 minutes, or until it is no longer jiggly.
This next bread is my favorite for bread type meals. I have been known to slice it thin and make grilled cheese or spread some jam on a toasted piece. Some people think it is very dense or dry, but it is incredibly healthy!

If you are waiting to be wowed, here is your recipe. It takes 90 seconds for this bread to cook, in the microwave no less! The result is a light, fluffy, biscuity goodness.
90 Second Bread

- 4 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp butter

To the egg and butter add almond flour, flaxseed meal and salt. Mix well with a spoon. Sprinkle with baking powder and mix one more time. Spoon into ramekins (half in each) and microwave one at a time for 90 seconds. Remove from microwave with dish towel and invert on a cooling rack.
I did not make this up, nor can I remember where I got it from :)
I have saved the best for last. This is the ultimate comfort bread. Make it on a rainy day and you will not be disappointed.
