Happy Homemade Healthy Bread Day!

You may not have known, but today is actually a very important holiday. Every year on the 16^th of November we honor National Homemade Healthy Bread Day. If you love bread as much as we do you will understand the importance of celebrating this day to the fullest!

Bread has developed a bad rep over the past few years, but in reality bread doesn’t have to be unhealthy. If you do it right, bread can be an extremely nutritious food that is also diverse enough to be suitable for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack time! We decided this year it is our mission to prove that bread can be both good-for-you and tasty. We put hundreds of healthy bread recipes to the test and curated a list of our favorites.
