National Bread Week

February 3-9

National Bread Week runs February 3–9 in the United States, the perfect excuse to warm the kitchen and bake. Lean loaves, enriched doughs, flatbreads, and quick breads all shine—think crackling baguettes, tender brioche, naan, and skillet cornbread. Plan ahead: check yeast freshness, feed your starter, and weigh flour. Use autolyse, stretch-and-fold, patient proofing, and plenty of preheat; a Dutch oven or baking stone with steam gives lift and crackly crusts. Cooler weather slows fermentation, so give dough extra time. Try flatbreads for weeknights, a braided challah for sharing, or bagels and English muffins for breakfast.
