Desserts from Your Bread Machine [Spiral-bound]

Lora Brody (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 25, 1994

Yes, it's true! With the press of a button you can make warm-from-the oven sticky buns, light-as-a-feather Danish pastries, tender, flaky croissants, delicate yeasted layer cakes, and rich tea breads brimming with nuggets of dried fruit and toasted nuts. Fabulous bread machine desserts you never dreamed possible can be yours with this all-new collection of foolproof recipes by bread machine expert Lora Brody.

By using the proofing and kneading cycles of your machine, you'll turn out sweet yeast doughs that are far superior to those made by hand or with an electric mixer.

These innovative recipes: Maple Walnut Sticky Buns, Almond Biscotti, Chocolate Macadamia Nut Bread, Triple Chocolate Babka, Apricot-Almond Pull-Apart Coffee Ring, and Lemon-Pistachio Loaf -- were developed especially for this book and individually tested on the best-selling bread machines on the market.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Here is the follow-up to Brody's popular Bread Machine Baking--Perfect Every Time (Morrow, 1993) with 75 recipes for cakes, cookies, and other sweets to be made--or at least started--in the bread machine. The recipes, which are arranged alphabetically instead of by category, include both desserts, such as Boston Cream Pie and Molasses Doughnut Cake, and sweet breads and other breakfast or teatime treats. Each one was tested in seven different bread machines, and Brody includes good tips and hints as well. Many of these recipes rely on yeasted doughs, so using the bread machine makes sense; others just use it as a mixer (what else can I do with this expensive machine?). But all seem tempting, and this is sure to be popular. Recommended for most collections.

From Booklist

Brody claims that there is a bona fide difference in results between bread machines and a regular mixer. And for those who either want quick-baking recipes or equate working with yeast to the fear of public speaking, she may have a valid point. Each of the 75 recipes includes directions for eight of the most popular machine models, with instructions separated into two stages: the batter/dough and the baking. What actually makes this collection worthy of purchase is the quality and creativeness of the sweet treats. Barbara Jacobs

3.0 out of 5 stars Every Recipe took too long before you could bake., March 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Desserts from Your Bread Machine (Spiral-bound)

Every recipe seemed like you always needed to refrigerate your dough for a very long time before you could actually bake, then enjoy. A lot of the recipes called for specialty items that you just can't go to the local grocery and buy. Laura sells these items on her own out of a magazine. I am thinking of ordering some just so that I can try these recipes but the prices are a bit high.

This review is from: Desserts from Your Bread Machine (Spiral-bound)

I just made the triple chocalate babka - very good but took a long time to get to the finished project. The recipes are nice and tasty but time consuming so start in the morning if you want something by dinner!
