Collection Of Dinnertime Bread Recipes

A classic Southern meal in the old days always included bread. Bread was a great meal stretcher and even the poorest of sharecroppers usually had the ingredients to make it thanks to the staples of 25 pound sack of flour provided by the land owners (look for a quote from my Great Grandmother Lela about this at the bottom of this post). Although I don’t have bread with every supper nowadays, more often than not we do. Here are some of my favorite dinnertime bread recipes, some classic and some new fangled. I hope you’ll find at least one or two new ones to make for those you love.
Drop Biscuits – And How Your Mama Did It Just Right
This is a recipe that is always considered a treat at my house, met with the same zeal as a dessert even though it is just a bread. A variation on my Mama’s hoe cake, she often mixed up the same batter and made drop biscuits instead.
This recipe is from friend and Southern Plate Family Member Terri. I have never had cornbread so moist in all of my born days. I feel certain that no small amount of my existance has been wasted up until tasting this.
Jordan Rolls – And why interruptions are the key to my success
This is my personal roll recipe, that I serve whenever an occasion calls for them.
How To Make Buttermilk Biscuits
If you have had problems in the past with your biscuits turning out to be more like hockey pucks than our beloved southern staple, this recipe is the one for you.
When you’ve got a family of rumbling stomachs and the meal about to go on the table these rolls come in handy. If you work fast, you can have them ready from start to finish in about ten minutes using ingredients you probably already have on hand.
When I first posted these lots of folks said they served them with butter and honey.
This bread is one of my dear favorites and I’d hate to think that some of you have never had it. It is among a list of recipes I love so much that I’d like to ask you to make them as a personal favor to me. My family’s hoe cake uses flour and produces a bread much like buttermilk biscuits in flavor only with a lighter and fluffier texture and crispy outsides.
Seeded Yeast Rolls, Ready From Your Freezer Anytime!
These rolls are absolutely delicious but my favorite part is the seeds. I LOVE wheaty bread with seeds inside, it’s my favorite. For this recipe, you can use what seeds you prefer or the combination I used. Everything is nicer when you customize it to your own tastes.
“Mama always said many a family would have starved to death back
then if not for biscuits and gravy.”
~My Grandmother, Lucille Pockrus, quoting my great grandmother, Lela Sanders.
Still love biscuits and Mama’s homemade peach jelly. Thank you for all the great recipes. 🙂
When I was a little girl, my daddy loved his biscuits “sopped” in cane syrup. Although I find that awfully sweet for my taste now, I ate plenty of biscuits that way “back in the day.” My favorite then and now, though, was/is hoe cake! Could eat my weight in it any day if I would allow myself the indulgence.
I love homemade bread and your hoecake and drop biscuits are my go to quick and easy recipes.
Your bread looks great. When I got married and started having babies, my mother told me to learn to make biscuits because they could go a long way to fill up a bunch of kids! Boy she was right.
I love you cookbook, I checked it out from the library originally and kept it form 6 weeks until I could order my own copy. I then called my sister who lives in Alabama and asked if she had heard of you and she said no. I told her to go get your cookbook because it had all the recipes we already were making. She went to Wal-Mart and bought three copies for her daughters and daughter in law but she has decided she will have to buy one more for herself!
Thanks
Your hoecake recipe is delicious! Recently, I asked my daughter if she wanted biscuits with our meal or hoecake. She looked at me in an exasperated way and said, “do you even need to ask that?!” She made the 10 minute rolls as part of her home ec. assignment and they turned out beautifully! Thanks for all the wonderful recipes!
Can I use self rising flour if I don’t have regular flour?
ANY BREAD on my table doesn’t last long! 🙂
