Review: First, I want to address the negative reviews I read prior to purchase. - Auntie Em wrote that the title name for each bread recipe is missing in the Kindle version. I am not sure if she just received a bad copy of the cookbook, or if past problems have been corrected. My Kindle version of this cookbook is excellently formatted with a recipe name heading each recipe page. It is easy to search for and bookmark recipes. Directions are easy to follow, concise, and complete. Not every recipe has a color photo, but a large number of them do. A few people might have complaints because all the recipes are in grams and ounces. (not cups, teaspoons, and tablespoons) If you want to insure you make a consistently delicious loaf of bread, weighing your ingredients is best. If you do not have a scale, please invest $10-15 in a digital kitchen scale. You will also need an instant read digital thermometer. (Pull your bread out at 180-210 degrees F. depending on the loaf. I bake my fruit breads to 200-210 degrees to dry them out from all the fresh fruit juices. Most breads are beautifully baked at 180-200 degrees F.) Bread is pretty forgiving if you stick to the science behind baking it. Veer off and you probably will not have a very good loaf of bread. Using a digital scale and thermometer will save you time, money, and frustration in the long run. They will more than make up for the small expense by producing excellent results. It is obvious that the recipes in this cookbook have been tested. Follow the recipe exactly at least the first time. Every one I have tried so far has been successful and delicious. Later with experience, you can make small tweaks. One of the tweaks I make is substituting dried cranberries when his recipes call for sultanas (raisins). I confess, I am not a big fan of raisins. For the most part, I follow Peter Reinhart’s advice at letting my bread ferment at least 8-24 hours in the refrigerator prior to baking. It helps develop flavor and the fermenting process seems to help with my gluten intolerance. Very few of the recipes in this book call for extending the fermentation process. No matter, the recipes still work when I slow the process down by refrigerating the dough. Sometimes the dough just needs an extra hour to come to room temperature prior to shaping and proofing. This is a great cookbook if you want tasty, homemade bread. Give it a try! Review: Not For the Novice - I have the utmost admiration and respect for the author of this book. And I believe, although it is subtle, Paul Hollywood reveals that in the very beginning pages by offering the challenge of a Wheatsheaf Loaf as a first step in developing skills in bread making. He openly writes, "If you can make a wheatsheaf you can make anything in this book." I wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone who wants to make a wide variety of breads, most of them quite simple, to enjoy with family and friends. At the same time, and perhaps even before venturing into 100 Great Breads, I would suggest spending some time with "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" (Peter Reinhart) to fully understand why things that go wrong with the breads in 100 Great Breads the baker understands where to look for the source of the problem. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00RTY0KLE | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #51,595 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #5 in Cake Baking (Kindle Store) #17 in Bread Baking (Books) #21 in Dessert Baking (Kindle Store) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,516) | | Edition | UK ed. | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 30.5 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1844038503 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 267 pages | | Publication date | July 2, 2015 | | Publisher | Cassell | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![100 Great Breads: The Original Bestseller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xppZfaM5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First, I want to address the negative reviews I read prior to purchase. *by D***S on July 1, 2021* Auntie Em wrote that the title name for each bread recipe is missing in the Kindle version.
