Bread baking in genuinely small batches

Rebecca Eisenberg’s collection scales bread-making down to recipes built around one cup of flour, with portions such as two bagels, a single large roll, or a small loaf. The 50 recipes span savory and sweet baking, from focaccia, naan, and pizza to cinnamon rolls, brioche, and fruit-preserve pastries. Step-by-step photos accompany the instructions, while the range includes both no-knead options and recipes for different meals and occasions. The small yields also connect the book’s format to practical constraints named in the source, including cooking for one or two, limited counter space, and reducing food waste.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home bakers who want recipes yielding one or a few portions.
  • New bread bakers interested in small-scale recipes and step-by-step photos.
  • Bakers seeking both savory breads and sweet pastries in one collection.

Book overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 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:
  • Little Loaves: Loaf Pan Focaccia, Foot-Long(-ish) Baguette, Classic Brioche Loaf, Overnight No-Knead Crusty Bread
  • Buns and Rolls: Just Two Bagels, One Large Kaiser Roll, Stovetop English Muffins, Just-Like-the-Tube Buttery Crescent Rolls
  • Twists, Sticks, and Braids: "Limited" Garlic Breadsticks, One Large Soft Pretzel, Ooey-Gooey Cinnamon Rolls, Mini Chocolate Babka
  • Flatbreads, Crackers, and Pizza: Single Scallion Pancake, No-Knead Naan, Thin-Crust Pizza, Three Flexible Flour Tortillas
  • Biscuits, Pastries, and Quickbreads: Flaky Mini Buttermilk Biscuits, Oversized Nutella Pop-ular Tart, Fruit Preserve Pastries Two Ways

With easy-to-follow guidance and minimal ingredients, Small-Batch Breads is the perfect housewarming, engagement, graduation, birthday, or holiday gift for any budding bread baker.
