Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook: The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way

- Truly the best!
- I am so glad I got this cookbook. The directions are easy to follow, there's tons of information, and fantastic recipes! I have to pace myself or I will live solely off bread--I highly recommend the double-garlic potato bread. I could eat a whole 2 lb. loaf in one sitting!!

- A must-have bread book - SUPER
- This is a wonderful bread machine cookbook. I have bought them as gifts as well, and loved by all. I have been baking bread (without a machine) for many years. I bought a bread machine about 12 years ago, that I mostly use to make my dough. I now make many more breads and I love this book! I highly recommend this book! It has many recipes for artisan loaves to carve and bake in the oven if you wish. Well worth the money!

- Love it, love it, love it!
- My husband bought me a breadmaker probably two years ago and all I managed to produce from it were things that could be used to build homes.

Phew! That's a long list! Anyhoo, I love this book and have made several beautiful and delicious loaves in just the few days I have had it (peanut butter bread, cheesy onion loaf, fiery four-pepper bread, etc). Each one has been beautiful and each recipe tells you if the loaf will, for instance, be shorter and more dense, so you don't freak out and think you've produced yet another cinderblock.
A great buy! - 2008-02-16, 16 of 16 people found this review helpful, Rated:
