27 Unconventional Bread Recipes

From BBQ Chicken Breads to Boozy Banana Breads

Bread plays a rising role (or roll) in most of our meals at least once a day and acts as the perfect food pairing, but on its own, without the dip and spreads, it can be quite daunting to eat; however, this list of bread recipes infuses more unconventional flavorings and features.

Many bakers are incorporating outlandish flavorings into their breads. The cooks behind the blog How Sweet Eats for example, came up with a recipe for a vegan coconut zucchini loaf and Instructables users infused rum into their banana bread.

It's also evident that people love pop culture in all forms -- not just in media, but also in loaves. Bakers are making bread to resemble icons, superheroes and cartoon characters like Hello Kitty. There is definitely a bread for every type of personality and pallet.
