1. Zucchini Walnut Bread With Lemon Glaze
You may think of zucchini as a purely savory ingredient, but this zucchini walnut bread with its lemon glaze is certainly a sweet treat. You'll need two small zucchinis for this bread, and recipe developer Kate Shungu walks you through pressing the liquid out of the veggies — a very important step! If walnuts aren't your cup of tea, just leave them out or substitute pecans. The lemon glaze is easy to make and can be prepared with either fresh or store-bought lemon juice.
2. Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This recipe gives you a classic banana bread with plenty of chocolate chips mixed in, adding a "sweet and slightly bitter indulgent twist." Because this recipe uses olive oil instead of butter, it yields a completely dairy-free loaf of bread. As always when making a banana bread, make sure your bananas are plenty ripe. Want to serve your chocolate chip banana bread for dessert? Recipe developer Sher Castellano recommends serving it with some vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

9. Homemade White Bread
There are perhaps few foods more comforting than a slice of white bread, whether it be on its own, spread with butter or jam, or as part of a sandwich. Recipe developer Miriam Hahn shows you how to mix the dough and then recommends kneading it for eight to 10 minutes, which she says is likely "the hardest part" of making this bread. Once the dough is prepared and kneaded, you'll have to let it sit for about two hours before baking, so make sure to wear your patience pants!

Recipe: Simple Beer Bread
11. Pizza Bread
Recipe developer Michelle McGlinn's inspiration for this pizza bread recipe is two-fold: She saw a similar product in the frozen section at the grocery store, which made her think of English muffin pizzas she would make as a kid. McGlinn's recipe calls for a French bread baguette as the base as well as dried thyme and oregano for spices and pepperoni and mozzarella for toppings, although the pizza bread can also be made vegetarian by instead adding onions, mushrooms, black olives, or any topping that suits you.
Recipe: Pizza Bread
12. Pumpkin Bread
Maybe you're a diehard Pumpkin Spice Latte fan. Maybe you just love fall. Possibly the taste of pumpkin is music to your taste buds. Either way, if you love all things pumpkin, this pumpkin bread recipe is the bread recipe for you no matter what time of year. Make sure you purchase pumpkin puree as opposed to pumpkin pie filling when grocery shopping for ingredients. The former lacks the sugar and spices you'll be adding in on your own.
Recipe: Pumpkin Bread
13. Tasty Monkey Bread
Monkey bread is a sweet treat that can be served as a delightful dessert or as a sugary breakfast item that recipe developer Stephanie Rapone recommends serving with bacon and fruit salad and that she serves to her family instead of cinnamon rolls.

Recipe: Tasty Monkey Bread

Recipe: Easy Peach Bread
16. Best Homemade Croutons
Croutons are an obvious necessary addition to any green salad, and with this recipe from recipe developer Kristen Carli, you can easily make them at home. Carli notes that croutons are also great because you can use any kind of bread that happens to be in your bread box that's about to go stale, thus cutting down on food waste.

This versatile bread can be used for sandwiches, morning toast with butter or jam, French toast, or as a side with a bowl of soup or stew.
Recipe: Brioche Bread
19. Cookie Butter Banana Bread
Recipe developer Mark Beahm was thinking about peanut butter banana breads when he had an idea. Why not, instead of peanut butter, use Dutch cookie butter in his banana bread? And so this delectable creation perfect for mornings or desserts was born. There's a lot of mixing going on in the prep of this recipe, so Beahm recommends using a hand mixer or stand mixer instead of stirring by hand. When this cookie butter banana bread comes out of the oven, spread some more cookie butter on each slice for a sweetness overload.
Recipe: Cookie Butter Banana Bread

A mandel is a Jewish pastry similar to an Italian biscotti — except they're soft, not hard. The baked good is perfect for an afternoon snack or to dip in a hot beverage and we think you'll love our version, which is packed with chocolate chips. Because you'll need to bake the bread twice, you'll want a good block of time to make these mandels. That makes this a great recipe for Sunday afternoon, not Tuesday night between ballet class and soccer practice.
Recipe: Best Chocolate Chip Mandel Bread
30. Cinnamon Raisin Bread
This cinnamon raisin bread is fun to make and comes out as pretty as it is tasty with its interior cinnamon swirl.

32. Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Yes, we all love Red Lobster for its seafood entrees but we can't help noshing on a few extra cheddar bay biscuits while we're there, which definitely contributes to the almost 1 million biscuits Red Lobster bakes every day.

Use the bread for whatever you'd like, but we think you'd be remiss not to give a classic bruschetta recipe a go.
