Herbed Bread: Add dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano to the dough for a fragrant loaf. You can mix in about 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite herbs.
Cheese Bread: Incorporate shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella into the dough before the first rise. This will give the bread a cheesy flavor and a nice texture.
Garlic Bread: Mix in minced garlic or garlic powder into the dough for a savory garlic bread. You can also brush the top with garlic butter before baking.
Cinnamon Raisin Bread: Add 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1 cup of raisins to the dough for a sweet twist. This variation is great for breakfast or snacks.
Whole Wheat Bread: Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. You may need to adjust the liquid slightly to accommodate the different flour.
Sweet Bread: Increase the sugar to 1/4 cup and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a sweeter loaf. You can also fold in chocolate chips or dried fruit for added sweetness.
Seeded Bread: Before baking, sprinkle the top of the loaf with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or sunflower seeds for added texture and flavor.
