 | Many recipes don't work Jan 21, 2009 |
| I am an experienced bread machine baker (over 10 years). While many of the recipes in this book are excellent, beware of the ingredients ratios. In my machine I had to cut back a lot on tne yeast. I used both the recommended SAF and Fleishmans Bread machine yeast with similar over-risen results. My pages are filled with notes on ingredient and baking modificatiobns. You may have to adjust your proportions according to your machine or do the baking solely in the oven after an observed rise. I even had a case of oven baking where the loaf "exploded" out of the baking pan due to way too much yeast. | | |  | Love It Jan 11, 2009 |
I love this cookbook. I've used it for almost 2 years now. Love the wonderful whole grain recipes in it. There are a few favorite loaf recipes that I stick with for our daily consumption, but I also like experimenting with the specialty breads. We never buy bread anymore. Even make our own hamb/hotdog buns. This recipe calls for white flour only, but I make it with 1/2 white, 1/2 whole wheat and it works great for me. Not only does this book have great recipes, but Beth Hensperger has loaded it with some great information and helpful hints throughout.
After seeing and tasting the products I've turned out using this book, both of my daughters talked their husbands into buying them bread machines. Of course I did my part by ordering a copy of The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook for both of them! | | | | Essential for those new to bread machines Jan 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. | | |  | This book damaged my breadmaker Jan 1, 2009 |
I tried a couple of recipes from the book with decent results. Trying to adapt some of the half-whole-wheat recipes into 100% whole wheat recipes didn't turn out that great, but that's probably less the book's fault and more my own. The recipes where I followed the book with no adaptations turned out fine. So I will echo what several other reviews said - that I was disappointed at how few of the whole grain recipes were truly WHOLLY whole grain.
But then I tried the "Dutch Sugar Loaf" recipe and it damaged my machine. It sounded like a great idea - a cinnamon and clove bread with crushed sugar cubes that would melt into little bits of sugary goo in the middle of the bread. The directions said to let it knead for 5min and then add half of the crushed sugar cubes and spices, wait another 3min and add the rest. When I did this it created an ENORMOUS racket as it bashed the crushed cubes around the breadpan. When I went to take out the loaf it got stuck. Turns out one of the sugar chunks had burned onto the side of the pan. But the worst part was when I finally cleaned it - I found that the sugar cubes had scoured off the non-stick surface in several spots and THAT was why the sugar cube was sticking! Now I need to get a replacement breadpan. I am really NOT pleased. | | | | Bread Machine Bible Dec 26, 2008 |
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. | | | Write your own review about The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook
