This book consists of all whole grain bread machine recipes. The first part goes into detail about all the components necessary to create healthy breads/rolls, etc. in the bread machine. All ingredients are described in an easy to read manner. There are recipes using "ordinary" whole wheat flours. Then there are the recipes using the more exotic flours, such as spelt and kamut. While some of these flours are expensive and sometimes hard to find, I have tried many of the recipes and have never been disappointed. I have purchased the book many times for friends and recommend it highly as a means to increase fiber and grains in products that are very tasty and are created from this easy to understand recipe book.

This book has great recipes for wholegrain breads. If you're looking for recipes that avoid white flour and have healthy wholegrains instead, this is the book for you.

For the most part, it is also low sugar, which is why I purchased it. There are a few recipes with honey and molasses, though. My husband has raved about all the breads I've made from this book. It gives recipes for 1 and 1 1/2 pound loaves.

This is a great book for anyone who owns a bread machine and wants to make different types of whole grain breads. I have found many whole grain baking bread books, but none that were specically targeted for the bread machine. This book is made specifically for bread machine bakers, which is great. She explains all the different types of flours, grains, etc. This is very helpful to learn how to make appropriate subsitutions, etc. I really like this book and am looking forward to consuming a wide variety of whole grain breads!

I am thoroughly pleased with the recipes I have found in this book. Every one I have tried has turned out beautifully. It is almost impossible to find good spelt flour recipes, particularly for the bread machine and this book instructs how to use spelt flour to make most baked goods. If you are looking to bake healthy bread or just to expand your baking experiences, I recommend "Smart Bread Machine Recipes" thumbs up to the professional as well as the everyday home cook as there is a little something here for every baker to learn!

I own a 1-lb. loaf Zojirushi mini-loaf bread machine. Love that thing, but I digress. I also bought 100 lbs. of whole wheat grain and grind it into flour as needed in a Vita-Mix blender using the dry container. This cookbook for the bread machine contains critically important information that is geared towards someone like myself, though not exclusively. I haven't made a bad loaf yet, thanks to what I've learned in this book. This book is everything it's said to be. Though this book isn't very big, every recipe is for a truly nourishing loaf of bread. Many will turn out a little more dense than what you'd buy, but at least not a brick, lol. There are tricks and tips which make bread-machine baking with whole grain flour accessible and easy. You CAN make whole-grain bread in a bread machine with the information contained in this book. I bought it used for a fairly pretty penny, but the information is well worth it.

This is the best bread machine book. I've made a bunch of the recipes and they always turn out really great. I don't even really like whole wheat bread and this makes it much, much better. Nothing like a fresh batch of organic Whole Wheat Veggie Bread. I wish Ms. Woodruff would write a part two for this cookbook. YUM!

I have made 3 of the bread recipes so far and the bread has turned out very good. I would recommend this bood for anyone looking for low fat bread recipes, there are several that require alot of manual work outside the bread machine.

Every bread I've made in my Zoji mini from this book has come out spectacular looking and deliciously tasting. I can't stop raving about it! The Zoji is a 1lb bread machine with presets and a dough cycle. You can't adjust the cycles and I was feeling unhappy with the purchase. Then I found this book on Amazon. It featured recipes for all sizes of bread machines. For that alone, I decided to give it a try. It is PERFECTION! This author knows her bread, knows the machines, and has done a thorough job of communicating her knowledge.

I highly recommend this book. I love that the whole wheat recipes don't call for bread flour or another white flour. I have been trying to perfect my bread-making skills for awhile now and this book outlined the reasons bread loaves don't turn out. It's got a great section in the front for must-dos on making bread, and a whole lot of wonderful *healthy* recipes!!! The first loaf I made turned out totally perfect!!

i wanted more healthy whole grain recipes and this fits the bill. i wish there were more books for breadmachine with more whole grain recipes.
