Bread is the backbone of a functional kitchen

There are so many dishes that call out for bread. Toasted, plain, baked, as a side or the main event, bread is almost endlessly versatile. From kicking off your day with a bang to finishing the evening with a sweet note, bread always has your back.

To be tried out over the course of a week rather than all in one day, we’ve compiled a few bread-based recipes that can be used for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Read on to learn more!

The Versatility of Bread: Sliced Bread, Five Ways

One of our favourite ways to spice up breakfast is to try unusual, delicious toppings on toast. This simple combination of ricotta, sliced pears, walnuts and honey recipe uplifts even the dreariest of mornings. But if you’re more of a breakfast traditionalist, some crisp bacon on toast combined with a drizzle of maple syrup never misses. With these, we recommend trying the Hovis® Nimble® Wholemeal Loaf. You can check out the full recipe here!

When it comes to mid-morning hunger pangs, nothing beats the almighty peanut butter on toast, or sunflower seed butter as an alternative for people with nut allergies. You could chop up a few slices of banana and place them on top for a little something different.

For those days where nothing but a huge sandwich will do for lunch, we’ve also got you covered. One of our all-time favourites is the Green Goddess sandwich recipe, which delivers everything from taste and texture to ease of preparation. Hovis® Seed Sensations® pairs perfectly with this recipe in particular.

If you have some leftovers from a roast chicken, then lucky you, because dinner just got super easy, and super delicious. Try combining Hovis® Granary® Wholemeal bread with torn up roast chicken over some romaine lettuce leaves, and add on any caramelised roast veggies you might have before you place your second piece of bread. Feel free to slightly toast the bread, and even spread a bit of your mustard of choice.

To satisfy a sweet tooth without too much fuss, try this bread and butter pudding recipe made with Hovis® Farmhouse Batch Bread. Taking just twenty minutes to prepare and enabling you to make use of any stale bread, this warming dessert is well worth the occasional indulgence.

So there you have it - five different ways bread will deliver all of the taste with none of the stress.
