18 Best Thanksgiving Bread Recipes to Complete the Feast
Because what's better than homemade bread?
Thanksgiving is all about the roasted turkey and side dishes, but what would the big feast be without a bread basket full of deliciousness? A downright disappointment, that's what! No matter if your family loves dinner rolls, fluffy biscuits slathered in butter, or a cast-iron skillet full of cornbread, this list has it all. Oh, and there's plenty of seasonal quick breads and other goodies to inspire you.
Homemade bread can seem intimidating, especially when there's lots to prepare for a big holiday meal. But here you'll find different types of bread to make in any time frame! If you're in no hurry, try baking an impressive boule, loaf of ciabatta, or pull-apart garlic bread to wow your Thanksgiving guests. Each of these recipes use yeast and require some time to rise, but they're not difficult to make. Of course, if you need something quicker, try quick breads! Cornbread comes together in a snap, and you'll find several versions in this roundup from classic to a bacon-cheddar spin. There's also Ree Drummond's buttered rosemary rolls that start with frozen store-bought dinner rolls. Fluffy and herbaceous, they simply can't be beat! And if you prefer your carbs on the sweeter side, bake a loaf of heavenly spiced pumpkin bread or a dozen spiced muffins to enjoy for a Thanksgiving breakfast or dessert.
