Biggest Book of Bread Machine Recipes (Better Homes & Gardens Cooking) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)New to bread machine baking, I wanted a BIG book of tested recipes. This is it. There are lots of recipes for the bread machine, both for total machine baking and oven baking. The one reason I cannot give it 5 stars is the way the recipe pages are set up.
The type is in a nice blue and hard to read orange. The type used to list the ingredients is small and every other line is in orange. I find it difficult to read as the orange seems to fade out alongside the deep blue. Maybe I need to update my glasses.
One other item I would like to have seen is an ingredient substitution guide somewhere in the Tips Section.
There are some really good features, however. The book opens out flat for easy reference to the recipe while preparing. The index cross references recipes by ingredients which I found very useful. There are some ideas for how to use the bread in sandwiches and with soups; they look yummy and worth trying.
Overall, I like the book. All the recipes I tried have come out great. I just wish the book was easier to read, but that won't keep me from using it.

The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book last Christmas after receiving a machine for a gift. I made a few recipes from the owner's manual and experienced quite a few flops. I refused to be defeated and knew there must be a book out there that would help me make good bread (with the machine that I had begged for). THIS is the book!
I read all the reviews that precede 2002 and got the book right away. I love the way Hensperger explains ingredients, the science of bread and how the machine works. We use our machine at least 3-4 times a week. Some of my favorites from the book include the Hamburger and Hot Dog Buns (I will never buy storebought again!), the Garlic Foccacia, the Orange Bread with White Chocolate, Apricots and Walnuts, and for sandwiches my family loves the Instant Potato Bread and the Maple Buttermilk Bread, both of which turn out light and fluffly.
I remember reading a review that discussed the different ways to measure flour. For some reason, if I do it Hensperger's way, I always have to add more flour. So, I just scoop it without aerating the flour first.
Another review mentioned that you "have to" use SAF yeast. I haven't found this to be true. I have used the SAF, but have also used fast-acting and bread machine yeast. Both have turned out fine. All of the ingredients have been at a local supermarket (I live in a small town - 23,000, on the Central Coast of CA) except the specialty flours like barley, spelt, semolina, etc. Those I have found at a health-food store.
I can't say enough good things about this book! My copy is tattered and stained and I am enjoying working my way through all the recipes. It is a book I definitely can't live without
