    25 Sides for Potato Soup

    Homemade bread

    Let's start with bread. From quick and easy no-knead bread stirred within minutes to Greek or Turkish Bread, garlic, or cheese bread.

    1. Spelt Bread - No-Rise, No-Knead Spelt Bread

    This easy homemade spelt bread is absolutely amazing! I discovered this recipe about ten years ago, and I have made it hundreds of times ever since. All you have to do is grease a loaf pan, mix flour, seeds, vinegar, and yeast with water, stir with a spoon and bake the bread.

    5. Turkish Bazlama

    I love Turkish bread of any kind, and this flatbread makes no exception. It's fantastic when served with soup. Bazlama is traditionally cooked on outdoor stoves over a wood fire in the villages of Anatolia. Still, you can quickly cook the flatbread at home on a good quality heavy-based pan or skillet.
