The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook: A Master Baker's 300 Favorite Recipes for Perfect-Every-Time Bread-From Every Kind of Machine [Hensperger, Beth] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook: A Master Baker's 300 Favorite Recipes for Perfect-Every-Time Bread-From Every Kind of Machine Review: One of my favorite cookbooks. - This is an excellent value for the price and I can't recommend it highly enough. With around 300 recipes for bread ranging from white to wheat, sourdough to rye, egg to dessert breads, and with recipes from all over Europe, the United States, and different periods of history (the Indian Graham Bread is a treat, even for those who aren't Colonial America lovers) you get a lot of recipes with very little space wasted by unnecessary color photos. Many of her breads can be made entirely in the breadmaker and consist of only two steps (put ingredients in and turn on machine, and then take out when done). For those who want more of a challenge, there are also a number of recipes that require being shaped and finished in the oven. In short the recipes range from very easy to those with more steps after making the dough in the breadmaker (baking in oven, making a biga ahead of time, shaping dough, etc). I have found that many of her recipes work very well without any adjustments, but keep in mind that all machines are different and you will probably need to experiment a little. I will admit that I had some trouble at first with the recipes here. And there are some like the sourdough recipes that I just can't get to work. Don't be discouraged. You should realize three things. First, all bread machines are different and the author right from the beginning tells you that you may need to adjust certain amounts of liquid or flour depending on your machine's manufacturer. Second, and related to that, you need to carefully measure out your ingredients, especially the water and flour. I am pretty impatient with recipes and not a careful measurer. Slow down and make sure you carefully measure out your ingredients and, as she tells you at the beginnig, adjust flour or water as necessary during the kneading cycles. And this leads to my third point, you should read the beginning of the book, or at least glance at it. The author provides tips about individual machines that will save you much heartache, and, should something go wrong like your loaf collapsing she gives you a detailed analysis of what probably went wrong and how to fix it. She then goes into seven different types of bread that you will cook throughout the book in a very detailed way that will help you later with her other recipes, many of which have many fewer steps. Additionally, don't be alarmed if you see some of her recipes require many steps, "esoteric" flours or ingredients you've never used before (barley or semolina flour), or require you to finish baking in the oven. Never fear! Most of her recipes require only the most basic ingredients that you'll already have if you bake often already (well besides bread flour and bread machine yeast perhaps). I have slowly acquired such things as wheat germ, gluten, barley flour, rye flour, semolina flour, etc. as I have worked my way through the book. Don't get stuck on just the white breads (which are great), but keep going into the wheats, ryes, and multi-grains. You won't regret it. I use a Sunbeam (entry level) machine and I've discovered a few things about it: (1) Always check the dough during knead cycles to see if it needs more moisture (recipes with fatty milks often seem to need a bit more). The author recommends that some machines regularly need a tablespoon more of water (or less of flour) and my machine seems to need more water about 1/3 of the time I use it. (2) Carefully measure ingredients. (3) The "dark crust" cycle is jut way too hot and should never be used. (4) The 1 1/2 lb recipes work well, but the 2 lb recipes would overflow the machine. As you can see, none of the errors that resulted from these problems were the author's fault, it was either me or the machine. I attribute my inability to make some of her recipes, such as the sourdoughs to Central Virginia apparently not being a great place to buy sourdough starter yeast (the homemade ones just don't work for me) and my inexperience with making sourdough starters. As mentioned above, my machine runs rather hot so making some of the smaller 1 lb breads or trying to use the dark cycle called for in her recipes is difficult because the machine overbakes them. My major criticism is that, while pictures are unnecessary for the most part, I would like to have them for the breads that need to be folded/rolled into shapes because I have a hard time visualizing what she wants me to do. I have bought many quality cookbooks from desertcart, from a variety of publishers including America's Test Kitchen and Williams-Sonoma. In terms of the most recipes for your money, you really can't beat this book. The directions are very clear and she provides helpful hints about cooking bread, different kinds of flours/ingredients, and how to store left over bread throughout. You'll learn something new and useful every few pages as you work your way through the book. Review: It's a "bread bible" at almost 700 pages full of bread recipes and more - I have ordered several bread machine cookbooks on desertcart since we are baking more bread than I've ever eaten in my life lately. Dr. Atkins would hate my family right now with all the carbs we are enjoying. That said, some are great, some fall flat...then some you go to almost every time you make a loaf. This is the one I enjoy the most. I was shocked when the book arrived because it's huge...full of recipes! Because of that, regarless of your taste, you should expect to have more than enough choices...even if you wanted to cook a loaf a day. And quite frankly, we kinda love making a different kind every day.Especially if you have a special diet and want to alter bread recipes in your own machine...now you can. Here are some examples: Butter Bread and loads of other white breads Sour Cream Bread Whole Wheat Cuban Bread Coconut Milk White Bread Honey White Bread Honey Wheat Bread and loads of other whole grain breads Jewish Egg Bread Swiss Egg Bread Tomato Bread Sweet Potato Bread Zucchini Bread Applesauce Bread Cottage Cheese Breads Ricotta and Chive Bread Green Chile Bread Black Olive Bread Balsamic Caramelized Onion Bread Sunflower Oatmeal Bread Toasted Walnut Bread Pecan Raisin Bread OLive Oil Pine Nut Bread Beer Bread California Nut Bread Cinnamon Swirl Bread Hot Jalapeno Bread with Longhorn Cheese Beer Bread with Cheddar Roquefort Cheese Bread with Walnuts or get creative with your flours for a chance of pace like chickpea flour, graham flour (OMG! I love this loaf! It's like the taste of wheat with a lighter texture and creaminess...I LOVE that one.) recipes for great pizzas making dough such as cheese pizza, caramelized onion and gorgonzola pizza,, mediterranean pizza, etc and all kinds of pizza doughs from white to wheat to cornmeal, etc. there is a whole chapter on gluten-free breads Did you know you can make pasta dough in your bread machine? Neither did I. There is a whole chapter on it. You'll never go back. Out of yeast? There is a chapter on no-yeast quick breads. Like your bread with jelly or jam? A chapter on how to make them IN your bread machine. and all kinds of rolls, shaped breads, cinnamon rolls cakes, stuffings, foccacias, pita bread, pretzels... I wanted to give a clear picture by listing some ideas but let's face it, there are almost 700 pages of recipes for which you can use your bread maker. That may seem like a longish list but it's small in comparison! I have yet to have any loaf not work. (Incidentally if you ever continue to have bad loaves check the freshness of your ingredients. I had a friend complain about her bread maker and she had old yeast, old baking soda, old baking powder. Bought new and all loaves were perfect! They do matter.) Know going in: These recipes typically call for wheat gluten. Although my regular grocery doesn't carry it, I order mine dirt cheap on desertcart and it's worth it. We now use it in ALL recipes regardless of cookbook...it really improves the taste and texture even if you thought nothing was missing before. Most recipes have the ingredients for a 1.5 pound and a 2 pound loaf. A few are just for a 1.5 pound loaf but work just fine in my 2 pound loaf machine. Negatives: Maybe it would be too time consuming to do for such a huge book, but I really appreciate that one of my other favorite bread machine cookbooks includes the nutritionals for each loaf/slice including the calorie count. That may not matter to everyone but I do like an overview of what I'm taking in. For those who need photos, there aren't any here, although there are drawings. That doesn't matter to me so much especially since all breads are so similar but I know many like cookbooks with photos. Conclusion: I think it's a must have to add variety to your sandwiches and bread routine. You could get by with just this one cookbook for your bread maker and be happy with the endless recipes I think. Wish they had nutritionals but I forgive them that due to the long length of the book already...but maybe in a revised edition at the bottom of each page??

大きさにびっくり。レシピ数３００とはありましたが、４、５センチの厚みで６００ページ以上あり、一まわり小さい図鑑のよう。日本のベーカリー本に慣れた人は本格的で驚くと思います。内容もホームベーカリーやパン作りに関する事、そのパンの由来など全てが載っています。ホワイドブレッドだけでも何種類もあり、めくるだけでわくわくします。１、５斤、２斤用のレシピが記載されています。粉は（洋書全てそうですが）カップ表示です。１カップは（約２４０ｍｌです！）はおよそ１３５グラムなので一斤用レシピ２カップの粉を使うとすると＝２７０グラムと換算できます。（オンスなどの目盛りもついている耐熱の分厚いガラスの計量カップがあれば洋書レシピも怖くありません！）日本でも充分使える良い本です！！それからもう一つ。グルテンを添加するレシピが多いです。が、なくてもおいしくできましたよ。一冊だけ買うとしたらこれなのかもしれません。どんどん読めれば、の話ですが。

This was a bit complicated purchase as I didn’t receive the original parcel. But as soon as I contacted the seller she organized the second delivery without any delays. Things happened but lady was extremely helpful. No I’m enjoying my book !!!!!

Ich backe seit ca. 10 Jahren Brote in einem Panasonic Brotbackautomaten nach Rezepten, die ich in der mitgelieferten Anleitung, in diversen Rezeptbüchern oder auch im Internet fand. Die Ergebnisse waren meist zufriedenstellend, konnten aber die Qualität eines "Bäckerbrotes" nicht ganz erreichen. Beth Henspergers Anweisungen liefern mir endlich perfekte Brote! Von meinen vielleicht 12 Versuchen war nur eines ok, die anderen ganz ausgezeichnet und konnten es mit den "Bäckerbroten" in jeder Hinsicht aufnehmen oder übertrafen sie sogar. Ein kleiner Tipp: Von Beth Hensperger gibt es noch mehr Kochbücher - für den Reiskocher, für den Slow Cooker (Niedertemperaturgaren) und für die schnelle Küche am Abend, die allesamt sehr empfehlenswert sind - und bald wird ein weiteres Buch mit Mikrowellenrezepten erscheinen.

Los amantes de fabricar pan en casa encontrarán en este voluminoso libro muchas interesantes recetas de pan de todo el mundo. Para sacarle el mayor partido convendría hacerse con un juego de medidas americanas ( Tablespoon, tespoon, Cup, etc) que yo ya tengo por haberlo comprado en EEUU, pero que se puede conseguir fácilmente también en amazon.com

I chose this cookbook over several others that looked interesting and I’m so glad that I bought this one! Lots of interesting recipes and general information about bread making in my new bread maker. I bought a machine that makes only 1 lb. loaves, however the recipes in the book can be cut in half to accommodate my machine. Love the book!
