Bread machines are rapidly becoming the hottest new trend in kitchen appliances. Now anyone can learn to make great bread every time, using the first and only bread machine cookbook written by a professional in the field. More than 100 contemporary and ethnic recipes. 32 pages of four-color photos.
I have tried using the methods in the books that have come with the bread machines I've owned, about 5 so far, and Tom Lacalamita's instructions on putting the ingredients in a bread machine, along with his recipes are by far the best I've found. The bagels and cinnamon rolls didn't last long at all. I've entered loaves in county fairs and won, and I've had people fight over who was going to take leftover bread home from dinners I've been invited to. I made six different kinds for one dinner, and the Italian Herb bread was the winner by far. You could smell it long before you entered the room. This is my second copy because someone absconded with my first one.

Truly the ultimate bread machine cookbook

This book is wonderful for all you bread machine fanatics - the photographs are stunning, the directions are simple and complete and the cinnamon coffee bread is to die for - and if that's all the book had, that would be good.But there's a lot more - there's the rye bread recipe and pf course, the famous "Anadama Bread" recipe, chocolate chip bread, and challah as well as pretzel and pizza recipes. There's also a lot of technical information, telling you what the ingredients do in the process of making the bread, gluten levels of various flours and what you can expect when you substitute one for another - or even if you can substitute. There are directions given for different capacity machines, which makes it very helpful to use this book.I recommend this book very highly for those who wish to find out more and bake more with their bread machines.
Excellent
