The Bread Machine Cookbook Reviews
This was my first ABM cookbook. A couple of the reviews I happened to glance over griped about adjustments. I came across a book today on Amazon, written by Donna German and as it happens on Amazon, was led to this book. I bought every one German wrote after that and I still have them and use them regularly. Please know that in breadmaking, adjustments are reality. It's lived with me for over 15 years.
I bought this book brand new when it first came out. SourdoughGerman wrote a book about ABM sourdough. A recipe you've used before can need a slight flour or liquid adjustment sometimes. It's good, but the section in this book is great. So I have to give you my opinion. Humidity, ingredients, and karma all affect your dough, so you really need to watch it while mixing to make sure the consistency is right.
I started a starter (lol) back in 1993 and I still have it. I got the original recipe from this book. My favorite recipes from this bookthe raisin bread is probably the best I've seen and I use this one regularly. I had a DAK 1.5 lb R2D2 machine and ABMs were pretty new then.
The recipes are good and I like it alot. I just got my breadmaker and read reviews on the best book to get recipes from This book is easy to read and follow.
I suspect, instead, user error. When I gave my daughter a bread machine, I got her this cookbook at the same time. One reviewer reported that the peasant bread burned up his machine. In the instructions Ms. Not all the recipes I tried were pleasing to me or my family, but that was more a matter of taste, rather than flaws in the directions. German states that the "dough will appear moist". I purchased this cookbook soon after receiving a bread machine as a gift in 1998.
I have made the peasant bread many times with no problems. That is no reason to rate the book poorly. Besides giving this book 5 stars, I have to disagree with those who rated it poorly. People have different palates. I have used this book so much that the pages are soiled and worn.
This book is worth every penny and much more. She also is very pleased with it, and the peasant bread is her favorite. I make notes in the margins of recipes I've used.what I liked, or didn't like, the overall results, what adjustments needed to be made, etc. This is hardly a condition that would strain a healthy motor. She makes it, on average, 3 times a month. The way the ingredients are formatted for 3 different size loaves, it is possible to read the liquid from one column, but the flour from another.
This could account for the dough being too stiff, and that would not be the fault of the book. It is not realistic to expect everyone to enjoy every recipe.
The bread is great. and myshelf love the book. I bought this book for my mother and both she.
I got tired of the price of bread here in Hawaii constantly going up (regular bread at $4) and the quality was so bad at times with some of the local bakers using baking powder to get their rise. This is the right choice. The instructions are pretty easy and for a beginner, it was effortless. These days, I use the bread maching to mainly make the dough, which I store in refrigerator in plastic zip bags for later use. So, I invested in this book.
This book is the right size for a beginner, like me. So, far I am very happy with the results. Following the ingredients strictly does provide nice bread, but I have learned to make slight changes to make it more to my liking (I prefer softer crust and fluffier bread). If you are a first time breadmachine bread maker. While doing the recipes, I have learned how each ingredient changes the final bread.
I had a bread machine for many years but only used bought bread machine mix (they also cost $4).
