    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.
    “Small-Batch Breads is the cookbook you did not even know your library was missing . . . [making] bread baking 100 percent less intimidating (and dare I say easy peasy) when you can do it on a smaller scale—and with the wonderful Rebecca Eisenberg guiding you every step of the way.”—Jessie Sheehan, author of Snackable Bakes

    “Sometimes less is more, even when it comes to bread baking. Rebecca Eisenberg’s Small-Batch Breads is a perfect little book, whether for beginners looking to make great bread at home without fear of wasting flour or for more seasoned bakers looking to downsize their breads without downsizing results.”—Andrew Janjigian, head baker at the Wordloaf newsletter and author of The Bread Baker’s Pocket Companion and Breaducation

    “Small-Batch Breads is an accessible and engaging cookbook for beginner and experienced bakers alike. Rebecca Eisenberg explains her techniques well, she includes a wide range of recipes, and her recipes just work every time. But the thing I love most is that this cookbook is so fun to bake from. Highly recommended!”—Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author

    “Rebecca Eisenberg’s recipes are always incredibly well tested, science-backed, and super reliable.
