The New Complete Book of Bread Machine Baking

If you are a whole-grain purist, this book is not for you. The whole wheat and other grains that are part of each recipe are only added in token amounts to be able to call the loaf unrefined. However, the majority of the flour used is white. This was disappointing and I do not recommend this book for that reason. As a matter of fact, I returned my copy. For "transition" loaves (that use mainly white flour for those not used to pure whole grain or weaning themselves off of it) and for "elite" recipes (using 100% whole grain), try George Burnett's The Breadman's Healthy Bread Book. The kinds of recipes are nearly identical (cinnamon-raisin, lemon-poppy seed, etc.) but even more varied. Plus, he gives amounts for 1 and 1 1/2 lb. loaves.

This book is all you need. Especially handy is the description of how various chemicals, yeast, sugar, sald, etc. interact.

I really think you should add another star to this book as it has magnificent recipies that are easy to follow and easy to understand especially when you are in a hurry to get bread baked, like I was when I got the book.I loved the recipies and got alot of compliments on how wonderful the Bread tastes. I am pleased to announce that I was able to induct several neighbors to bread machine baking.They were all scared to use their bread machines..... not now!Just put another star for this Author's Book Please!!!!
