Betty Crocker's Bread Machine Cookbook

It doesn’t matter that it’s an old book if the recipes are yummy! There are so many things in here I can’t wait to try!

Cookbook arrived in time promised. It was in better condition than described, I was very delighted about that. Good price too. I would trust this seller with my next purchase.

This book is dated (1995), but it has really good recipes. I have four or five other bread machine cook books, but I use this one the most. Mainly because I like making the smaller one pound loaves and all of the recipes in the book are for 1 and 1 1/2 lb loaves which is perfect for one or two people. The book includes recipes for toppings and spreads and popular dough recipes like pizza dough, rolls, and doughnuts. The book is also layed out well with color photo's, a brief introduction, and tips on producing the perfect loaf. I make bread at least twice a week, and I have made quite a few of these recipes and all of them were delicious. This is a small book compared with some of the others that have hundreds of recipes, but it has more than enough to keep one's interest. I've been using it for about 5 years and haven't tired of it yet! This would be perfect for those who have the bread machines that make one pound loaves.

Using a bread machine is inherently simple, and this cookbook doesn't complicate matters. A brief introduction includes a glossary of ingredients, helpful hints, and troubleshooting tips. Two main sections - "Classic and Savory Loaves" and "Special Grains and Sweet Loaves" - include dozens of recipes, all with instructions for 1-pound and 1 ½ pound loaves. A third section includes recipes that use the bread machine to knead the dough, which is then further processed by hand and baked conventionally. A final chapter includes interesting toppings. Every recipe I have tried has worked well. The use of dry milk in recipes requiring milk allows most recipes to be made with the bread machine on a timer. The book is illustrated with attractive photographs.

Since buying this book I have made at least one recipe each week. It is by far one of the best and most used bread machine books I own. I highly recommend it.

I have many bread machine cookbooks. This is by far the best. The recipes are quick, easy and delicious. Most use ingredients that I have on hand. Recipes that require milk use powered milk and water. It's convenient to keep that available. Substitutions work well with these recipes. The pizza dough is great, banana chocolate chip is to die for and the cottage dill is wonderful. Cinnamon-raisin toast with peanut butter is worth waking up for. Honest
