I found that the recipe was a little off. The recipe called for 2 1/4- 3 1/4 cups of bread flour. I found that I had to use almost 5 cups before the dough was not sticky anymore. What am I doing wrong?
A versatile bread book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is an excellent bread book with a number of recipes that I've tried and been very happy with, and there are many more that I hope to try in the future. It's easy to use, practical, fun, and covers a large variety of bread types. A reviewer was disappointed with how the sourdough and pumpernickel (rye bread) turned out--these are two of the hardest kinds of bread to get to turn out, and may have as much to do with experience as the recipe used.
An excellent book for first time and experienced bread baker
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
My wife and daughter have baked six different breads (several times each) from this book and in every case the breads have been outstanding. They as bakers and I as a consumer are more than thrilled. We also agree that the book is profusely illustrated (wish more cook books were done as well), and instructions are easy to follow.
