Fresh Bread in the Morning from Your Bread Machine
£1.75
You can stop buying shop bread now! - My husband bought me this book for Christmas and I haven t looked back. The recipes are great and exclude the sugar and skimmed milk powder nonsense that came with the recipe book for my machine. Every loaf has come out perfectly (I have a Panasonic SD253) - I have even braved the free-form ones using the dough programme and had great results (The Italian loaf is to die for). On the rare occasions we buy bread now, we notice just how sweet it is, and just how many alarming ingredients there are listed on the packaging! I can t recommend it highly enough.
excellent book for the money - To date I have only used four recipes from the book,they have all turned out perfectly,so am looking forward to trying a few more. I like the fact that I m not using sugar in plain everyday loaves,and, for me it will be the book to return to.
A useful accessory for your new breadmaker - I ve made loaves using 5 of the recipes in this book, they all turned out great. I like the fact that it doesn t list milk powder as an ingredient with every recipe (as does the recipe book that came with our breadmaker). In addition to the recipes the book includes an explanation of the reasons for including the different ingredients and of how the bread making process works. If you re going to spend £60 on a breadmaker it s well worth spending an extra £3.60 on this book.
Ok but not comprehensive - The only recipe I use a lot from this book is the very simple one for Italian bread, which I actually adapt to make ciabatta rolls. It isn t comprehensive enough for me. I d have liked to have seen a Sahara Sand recipe, and many more ideas for rolls for my kids lunchboxes.
fantastic book - please buy it! - i bought this at the same time as buying a panasonic s253 breadmaker, i like the way the author has stripped the uneccesary ingredients from the recipies, who needs sugar or milk powder in a savoury loaf? i can only say that if a bad loaf comes from any recipe in this book - then maybe its time to switch breadmakers?
