5.0 out of 5 stars Appropriately named!, October 26, 2005

By	J. Beck (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 250 Best American Bread Machine Baking Recipes (Paperback)

I checked this book out from the library before purchasing it from Amazon. I made so many of the recipes that I knew it to be a good buy and great resource for my personal library! I don't think there is a single recipe that I've tried that I wouldn't make again.
I like that suggestions are made for other uses of the recipes, like Alpine Muesli Rolls can be formed into 4 mini loaves, baked and thinly sliced and then used for a base for hors d'oeuvres; or the Giant Parmesan Breadsticks can be made into focaccia and brushed with olive oil and salt. So many of the loaves can also be made into dinner rolls!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bread Book Ever, November 12, 2007

By	CC Mama (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 250 Best American Bread Machine Baking Recipes (Paperback)

This is by far the best and easiest bread book ever written. I am writing this right now, with the Asiago Herb Loaf recipe just finishing its baking cycle, and my entire home smells incredibly delicious! Whenever I make a bread from this book, I can hardly wait for the machine to finish to taste the end product. My kids also love this book, ages 2 and 5, we make bread in the machine regularly together, with them helping measure and add ingredients into the chamber, helping us find a new, fun, way to spend time together. I've tried recipes from all sections, and although there are some that require a bit more work than I am used to, e.g., rolling or shaping, this book is an all around wonderful book for any family with a bread machine!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for bread machine owners, May 1, 2008

By	L. Schoder (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 250 Best American Bread Machine Baking Recipes (Paperback)

This book has become my bread machine "bible." I live in Colorado and constantly had difficulty with other recipes, particularly with trying to make high altitude adjustments. Not only are the recipes in this book wonderfully tasty, but rarely have I had to make any high altitude ajustments. Every recipe I've tried has come out great, both in appearance and texture. The recipes range from basic breads with few ingredients to some pretty unique combinations. My favorites are the cinnamon apple oat bran and the scandinavian rye made with beer and spices that surpasses even the wonderful Limpa my swedish grandmother baked. There's also a terrific general information section in the beginning of the book with lots of great tips for producing the perfect loaf.
