Until recipe submissions close.
About the Event
This year we're going virtual!
The National Festival of Breads is a public festival held every other year in Manhattan, Kansas. This year will be a little different; to maintain everyone’s safety, this year will be completely virtual. You can still expect the same great workshops, recipes, and competition, just from the comfort of your own house!

Ready to show off your recipe?
We are accepting recipe submissions for this year’s festival through February 22, 2021. Whether it’s savory or sweet, we want to see your very own original bread recipe with a photo. Submit today to compete against the best amateur bakers in America. Be sure to follow our rules & regulations to ensure your recipe is competition-ready.

Tips for Winning Entries
The secrets to a successful recipe
Cindy Falk, Nutrition Educator with Kansas Wheat Commission and Chair of the Festival, shares her advice on how to make sure your recipe is ready to submit.
Follow the Official Entry Rules exactly. Unfortunately, entries have been disqualified because the entrant did not follow the rules. Read the entry form carefully for deadlines.
Create an original yeast bread or roll recipe. Each finalist will certify that their recipe is an original recipe or has been significantly changed to make it original and has not been published, publicized or a winner in another contest.
Name your recipe using words that accurately describe it. Recipe titles should be simple, descriptive, informative and inviting.
List ingredients in order they will be used in the directions or method. Be specific, for example, state whether the butter is salted or unsalted. Note: Recipe should not contain more than 13 ingredients.
