Small-Batch Breads

Using just one cup of flour, create sweet and savory bagels, buns, rolls, and pastries with 50 approachable and accessible recipes from the creator of The Practical Kitchen.

It all started with a recipe for miniature focaccia made in a loaf pan. That recipe went viral again, and again, and again. Now, trusted food blogger Rebecca Eisenberg brings her baking expertise, accessible recipe writing, and gorgeous food photography to this collection of sweet and savory small-batch breads made with just one cup of flour. Whether you're brand new to bread baking or a seasoned baker, Small-Batch Breads is for you.

Why bake small batch breads? Maybe you're serving just one or two. Or you're looking to minimize food waste. Maybe you're a new baker just learning the techniques—a small bread is lower-risk than a large loaf. Maybe you don't own a stand mixer or you've got a tiny kitchen counter. Or maybe you just like cute little things.

With fifty easy-to-follow recipes, including 100+ step-by-step photos, you can make adorable crusty loaves; two bagels for brunch on demand; an oversized, Nutella-filled pop tart; and, of course, Rebecca's viral Loaf Pan Focaccia.

Rebecca covers all the bread bases with recipes perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, such as:
