Bread is undeniably the ultimate comfort food that is exceptionally economical yet gives the best feeling of satisfaction both in the mouth and belly.
Funny story, not long ago… I decided to do keto. No rice, no sweets, no bread, basically I have to give up every comfort food I love.
Nah! This diet is not for me.
How can I live without my precious bread? I didn’t even last a day!
So what I did is I baked away my diet frustrations and eat a bunch of yummy Honey Wheat Rolls slathered with my favorite butter and strawberry jam. Hey! It’s made with whole wheat flour, so it’s perfectly healthy. Haha!
So, if you LOVE bread like me, this post is definitely for you!
Come and join me as we explore different types of bread around the world. Yeast bread, quick bread, flatbread, and festive bread – all types of bread that will surely remind you of home anytime.
Guaranteed easy-to-make and fail-proof bread recipes to try at home, that you’re family will surely love!
Yeast Bread
The addition of yeast to any bread recipe makes the bread extremely soft, airy, and fluffy. Adding yeast is very intimidating to some, but on the contrary, it’s actually pretty easy to work with.
The only thing I don’t like with this type of bread is the hours of waiting for the dough to rise.
Loaf Bread
White bread is one of the most common types of bread known all over the world. It may be a basic bread yet it makes the best sandwiches with its soft and fluffy texture with the right amount of sweetness. The perfect bread for a quick fix comfort food, like peanut butter and jelly sandwich or French toast. Yum!
2. Potato Bread
Kickstart your day with this fully loaded bread made with flour and mashed potatoes. Yes! Potatoes! Light and airy with a hint of potato flavor. A healthier alternative to your regular white bread coz’ it’s packed with more fiber, antioxidants, potassium, and healthy nutrients like vitamin C and B.
Enjoy a delicious and aromatic bread made with only 5 ingredients! Infused with herbs like rosemary or thyme for added fancy flavor. And the best part is… it doesn’t require kneading! Just leave it to rise overnight and bake it in the morning and you’ll have an effortlessly tasty crusty and fluffy bread for breakfast. 😉
There are different types of bread recipes for sliced bread but this one is my favorite. It’s packed with nutrients and fiber than your regular white bread. And I’m sure you’re gonna love the added flavor and texture from wheat, oatmeal, sesame, poppy, and sunflower seeds, too.
Among the different types of bread in the world, this French Brioche is one of the tastiest. Delightfully sweet and buttery with pillowy softness you’ll surely love. It’s easy to make and enjoyable to eat with or without a sandwich spread. You might want to check out my Brioche Buns recipe, too! 😉
Shaped Bread
I enjoy every type of bread, especially these soft, chewy, and buttery homemade breadsticks. Made even delectable with the addition of buttery garlic parmesan and oregano for toppings. I highly suggest eating them with Lasagna or dip them with Beer Cheese Dip for a fantastic comfort food delight. 😉
Indulge yourself with these restaurant-quality Italian baked treats. Utterly addictive with its soft center and slightly crisp exterior enriched with fresh thyme and rosemary. Extremely rich and tasty and makes fantastic pizza dough, too! Perfect for family weekend games or movie nights.
8. Bread Rolls
There are different kinds of bread rolls that you should try. You can start with the famous Texas Roadhouse Rolls copycat, a bread roll slathered with luscious honey cinnamon butter on top.

9. Pizza Dough
With the number of different types of bread in the world, it’s safe to say Pizza is the most captivating of all. Especially when filled with its gooey melted cheese and the lip-smacking marinara sauce or bolognese sauce.
Truly an irresistible and satisfying comfort food like no other! And of course, you need a good quality pizza dough recipe from Immaculatebites to make the best-tasting pizza ever! 😉

Quick Bread
True to its name, these are types of bread that are easy to make and comes together quickly. They’re also great for beginners coz’ this involves little to no-kneading at all!
Here, we use baking powder and baking soda as leavening agents.
Unlike the yeast bread, baking powder and baking soda can make the dough rise even without resting it for a while. It works right away as soon as the dough is baked.
12. Biscuits
Don’t you just love those gorgeous flaky layers and crusty golden exterior? Aah! And the rich buttery goodness that literally melts in your mouth in every bite. I love biscuits so much that I have several recipes here on Immaculatebites.

16. Scones
Different types of bread totally include scones. They can be light and airy without the addition of yeast. And they make a great breakfast and afternoon snacks as well.
I love eating mine with cranberry sauce, clotted cream, or butter and jam. Such a perfect comfort food you can easily whip up any time. Yum!
What I love about scones is that you can easily tweak the recipe and add your favorite flavors.
I like incorporating fresh fruits into my scones to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings, healthily. Among my favorites are Lemon Blueberry Scones, Raspberry White Chocolate Scones, and Pineapple and White Chocolate Scones.
17. Muffins
Nothing is refreshing than waking up from the aroma of freshly baked muffins in the morning. So cozy and comforting! Another type of bread that makes a decent breakfast and can be enjoyed as dessert, too. With that said, I highly recommend you try my Banana Chocolate Coconut Muffin.
