The Bread Machine Book: 75 Unforgettable, Unfussy Recipes for Every Baker [A Baking Cookbook] - Hardcover

by Lukas Volger (Author)

A modern, everything-you-need-to-know guide to baking perfect bread with a bread machine at home, with 75 recipes.

In The Bread Machine Book, veteran cookbook author Lukas Volger offers a thorough guide to the versatile bread machine. You'll learn how to buy one, use one, and utilize different ingredients and techniques to make your creations sing. The 75 recipes can be made in any bread machine you have at home, including:

• Buttery Brioche
• Honey-Barley Milk Bread
• Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Swirl Bread
• Date & Pecan Sourdough Loaf
• Ranch Rolls
• Matcha Ricotta Tea Cake

Each recipe contains a "faster" and a "slower" method: The fast utilizes the machine's presets (just throw everything into your bread machine and let it work its magic), while the slower isolates the kneading and the baking functions to create bread with more developed flavor and better structure for not much extra work.

With comprehensive but easy-to-digest tips for success--including measuring methods, temperature targets, machine and visual cues to look for, and opportunities for hijacking your bread machine to knead and proof dough to be baked in your oven--this is the only book you need to bring easy, fail-proof loaves to the table every day.
