 Essential for those new to bread machines January 6, 2009

This is an outstanding book for bread machine owners. I have several good bread books including another by Hansperger but this one helped me to have a great experience with my bread machine.
Most recipes are given in 1.5 pound as well as 2 pound versions. When I reviewed prior to purchase I thought it was repetitious and redundant, but once I used the book I realized the value of the author's hard work. I use a 1.5 pound loaf when baking in my Breadman Ultimate, and the 2 pound when baking in the oven.
It is a large paperback book and can lay flat when following a recipe. My book is now over 4 years old and is falling apart - because I use it several times a week over many years, and use a clear plastic book holder.
I have tried about 100 of the recipes and had good success with almost every one. I write notes beside the recipes so I can remember what I have tried and how it turned out. For several years I have been going through over 100 pounds of flour per year. The past year I have stuck with just a handful of recipes. My favorites include:
- House bread. A simple daily bread for sandwiches and such. I alter to use about 1/4 cup of corn meal.
- Tecate Ranch. It is a whole wheat bread. I have not tasted a similar bread elsewhere. I use sesame seeds instead of poppy seeds.
- Semolina. My mother in law has a wheat allergy but enjoys eating this half-wheat bread without problems. Good in the machine or oven.
- Limpa.
- Pain De Maison Sur Poolish. A recipe with a sponge starter. I let the starter sit for a day or several. It is fantastic when baked in the oven.
- Roman bread. A flatbread like focaccia.
The author presents an interesting story behind each recipe, which makes it fun to read. I expect every bread machine owner would be happy with this book.

We bought this book for our daughter as a christmas gift, and it was a great success.
We had not peeked at it, and were very surprised with the amount of recipes, and information in this book.
Fantastic! December 22, 2008

While reading reviews on bread machines, I found so many recommendations for this book that I decided to purchase it with my new bread machine. We've tried the recipes for honey whole wheat, chocolate cherry bread, and the whole wheat croissants. Every recipe has turned out perfect!

I've been collecting recipe books since I was a little girl...I even have the full set of Mary Margaret McBride's Encyclopedia of Cooking from 1937. And...I have made just about every recipe in any of my books. But this recipe book has got to be placed at the very top of my list. I have now made every recipe in it and not one failure and that's the truth! I can't recommend it highly enough. Easy to follow, and perfect bread every time.
