Customer Reviews

great cook book

this book is really helpful. tells you about the different flours and how to mix them and what might have gone wrong when your break didnt come out. a fair amount of recipes. I have made a number of them and most of them came out great.

Great resource

Excellent book to learn more about the art of bread making and the best machine to fit your needs. I highly recommend this book for great tips, but would go to [...]for bread machine recipes. I felt like I was better prepared to make bread regularly by studying this book.

Great Book

Great book... Great ideas I have learned a LOT about what makes bread work, so I can now know what I can and cannot modify in breads.

Great for beginners to the bread machine world

I can't believe more people haven't reviewed this book! It's been especially helpful to me because I bought my bread machine 2nd hand and it didn't come with a direction or recipe book. Most books for bread machines have instructions that say "add ingredients according to manufacturer's directions" well, if you don't have a manual, you're not sure what to do. This book solved that problem as the directions say to put the ingredients into the pan in the order that they're listed. A huge help to me! The information contained in this book, from explaining what all the ingredients do and how they interact together to the helpful hints, possible "danger" areas, and shopping tips are invaluable. If you're new to bread machines or baking in general, you can't go wrong with this book. I think it's a must have.
