 Not right for Panasonic SD-YD250 August 31, 2008
I bought this book along with the Panasonic SD-YD250 Bread Machine. The book that comes with the bread machine was far better than this book in producing edible loaves. I found that of the 4 recipes I tried from this book, that they were all off in the wetness by 1/4 cup in one direction or another. This produced uneven loaves, one being undercooked inside, another gummy, a third lumpy. My fourth loaf was starting to look dry and lumpy like the third, so I looked at both recipes and added more water until it started to form a real ball in the kneading process. When I reviewed the proportions of dry/wet ingredients in the owners manual of the bread machine, it was obviously quite off from what is recommended in this book.

As a BOOK, this is excellent -- great pictures, clear instructions, well organized, lots of variety. I was salivating as I read through it the first time.
However, after trying about half a dozen recipes, I have to say I'm not quite so impressed. The breads didn't taste as good the ingredients would indicate. For example, the onion cheese bread was not particularly cheesy nor onion-y. I tried again without the cheese and had to more than double the onion to get a flavorful result.
I guess it's a good starting point. If the recipe comes out how you like it, great; if not, you can experiment. Maybe I've been spoiled by the Internet: I like the feedback and user comments on AllRecipes.com so I have realistic expectations before I decide to use my time and ingredients.
 This is the best! June 5, 2008
This is the cookbook to have when you use a bread machine. Not only are the recipes wonderful but it has lots of useful information and pictures. I wish I'd had it when I first started (so does my husband).
Still loving Betty! May 29, 2008
My first cookbook was a Betty Crocker, so when I bought my Breadmachine, it was only natural to buy a Betty Crocker bread book. I love it!!! There is so much variety from plain to fancy and the recipes I have made thus far are absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this book!!!!!GET IT!
Great Bread Cookbook May 18, 2008
Exellent collection of bread machine recipes for loaves such as classic white, cranberry whole wheat and herbed Mediterranean. Gives the choice of 1-1/2 or 2 lb. loaf recipes, as well as knead-only directions for specialty items such as focaccio, Challah bread, Swedish coffee ring. Lots of breadmaking tips/info that guide you through the preparation process, making this a great addition to anyone's cookbook library.
