Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This is the ultimate bread baking book for those on the run who love homemade bread, but who are dependent on bread machines to do the actual work. Simple recipes for both exotic and traditional breads showcase a vast selection that includes breads featuring wheat, rye, rice, fruit, vegetables, chocolate (oh, yes!), cheese, or nuts. Two separate sections cover holiday breads and the "accessories": glazes, dips, and spreads. And, to literally top it off, the book is wrapped in a spill-resistant glossy cover. Don't worry about extra shopping trips; most recipes contain staple ingredients that you can put together in minutes.

This review is from: The Bread Machine Gourmet (Paperback)

This book is a mediocre recipe book for bread. They show pictures of breads that were obviously done on the dough cycle and baked in the oven, but they don't give instructions on how to bake your breads in the oven. There are also a lot of hard to find ingredients in the recipes. I searched every health food store in town looking for the ingredients to one of the recipes, without success.

I found more useful recipes on the Fleischmann yeast website than I did in this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars No thank you!, April 13, 1998

This review is from: The Bread Machine Gourmet (Paperback)

The recipes that I tried never worked out. The ratios were way off, sometimes leaving a watery mess. The altitude was not a factor, as I have needed no adjustments at 5200 feet.

I bought this book thinking that the bread recipes looked interesting and delicious. Well, they're interesting alright. Interesting messes!! Did this author actually test ANY of these recipes? The liquid to dry proportionas are all off. Don't waste any time or expense on this book.
