The Bread Winners Cookbook

I've had this book for years, and I still use it when I make bread. I like the fact that many different home bakers contributed recipes, so there is an amazing variety of breads to choose from. The bulk of the recipes are for yeast breads, but quite a few cornbread and other quick breads as well. A lot of the recipes use whole wheat flour and other whole grains. There is a thorough explanation of bread baking technique and ingredients. There is also a chapter on sourdough. Try the whole wheat rolls on pg. 247 - fabulous!

My mother gave me a copy of this book, & it has become my bread bible. I've made many recipes from this book, & they've all been good. All recipes use natural ingredients, which for me is very important. If you can only afford to buy one bread cookbook, you should buy this one. It's great!
