Here is a list of breakfast-to-dinner ideas that will leave every bread lover drooling. The best part? Many of these can be found on food delivery apps if you are not in the mood to cook. 4 Breakfast Recipes With Bread That Are Quick And Tasty Mornings call for comfort, and few things are more comforting than a warm, filling breakfast that stars bread in all its soft or crispy glory. Here are four classic dishes to begin your day. 1. Dubai Chai Toast A viral social media recipe that has made desis nostalgic, it involves pouring milk tea over soft bread (toasted or untoasted). You can also lather some malai, butter or chocolate spread between two slices of bread and then pour the chai on top. Eat using a spoon and enjoy the delicious combo of chai-bread. 2. Bread Poha This recipe is quick, delicious and filling. Toss chopped bread in a tempering of mustard seeds, onions, chillies and tomatoes. Serve warm with a dash of lemon juice and top with crunchy peanuts. 3. Bread Pakora Crispy on the outside, soft and spicy on the inside, these deep-fried delights make a satisfying breakfast. You can also add mashed potatoes or paneer between the bread slices for extra flavour and texture. 4. Bun Maska With Egg Bhurji If you love eating eggs in the morning, prepare some quick and tasty anda bhurji and pair it with a big, soft bun toasted in lots of butter. Finish with a hot cup of chai. 4 Bread-Based Lunch Dishes That Are Hearty And Filling For a satisfying lunch, these recipes show how bread can be both comforting and bold in flavour. Each dish is packed with nostalgia and the kind of taste that reminds you of home. 1.

Serve hot with ketchup or green chutney. 2. Cheese Chilli Bread Rolls These rolls are stuffed with cheese, green chillies and herbs, then shallow-fried or baked. Perfect for tea-time, they are crunchy outside and cheesy inside. 3. Sweet Bread Rolls Mix crumbled bread with condensed milk and dry fruits, roll into balls and chill. These no-cook rolls are great when you want something sweet but quick. 4 Easy Bread-Based Dinner Recipes You Can Try Tonight Dinner is the perfect time to indulge, and bread delivers once again with comforting, indulgent options. From street food classics to quick-fix pizzas, these ideas are perfect when you want something satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen. 1. Pav Bhaji This buttery, spicy street food classic is a complete meal in itself. The bhaji is one of the best ways to sneak in all kinds of healthy vegetables in your diet.

Top slices with pizza sauce, cheese, and your favourite vegetables or meats. Bake or toast until melty and golden. 3. Cheesy Garlic Bread With Butter Chicken Dip Combine your love for garlic bread and butter chicken in this delicious combo, and you may never have plain garlic bread again. Vegetarians can use paneer lababdar gravy instead of the chicken. 4. Bread Halwa Finish your meal with this rich, ghee-laden halwa made from toasted bread, milk, sugar, and dry fruits. It is easy to prepare and will satisfy your post-dinner dessert cravings. Whether you are toasting, dipping, stuffing or frying, bread is always a good idea.
