19 of my favorite fresh milled flour bread recipes all in one place. These are must have recipes for any home baker!

If I’m feeling down, I know just what to do.

I whip up a batch of good old-fashioned bread. It slows everything down and takes me back to a simpler time when homemade bread was a kitchen staple, not just an occasional treat.

No hate for the grocery store loaves (life is busy), but it just can’t compare with the quality of homemade bread. At least, not in my world.

If you love homemade bread as much as I do, then this recipe roundup is for you! (Also, lets be best friends and trade loaves of bread whenever we make a batch, okay?)

Today, I’ve collected 19 of my favorite yeast bread recipes for you to try. Each of these recipes is made with 100% whole grains and freshly milled flour. Each has also been tested by myself and my family, so we can say with certainty that they are 100% delicious!

Why I Love Fresh Milled Flour

If you follow my blog you can probably guess what I’m going to say about the secret to fabulous baked goods. Are you ready to say it with me?

The best kept secret to incredible homemade breads is freshly milled flour. Seriously! I know I sound like a broken record here, but it’s absolutely true!

As a firm believer in the value of freshly milled flours. I use an electric grain mill to mill all of my flour from my own wheat berries. It’s a quick and easy process that you can read about in how to mill your own flour and the health benefits or my 100% Whole Wheat Yeast Breads with Freshly Milled Flour cookbook.

In a nutshell, you get the best flavor and the most vitamins, minerals and overall nutrition from your flours within the first hours and days after they are milled. Flour quality declines rapidly after processing, so fresh is always best!
