The Bread Dictionary! November 26, 2008
This book has every bread recipe imaginable. You don't need any other bread book if you've got this. Also has pizza doughs. Too bad it doesn't have pictures though.
 Recipes work great! September 17, 2008
I have tried many, many of these recipes. They all worked well. Some I did like better than others, but that is just due to my likes and dislikes. It has a great intro that explains in detail why each element is important. I will admit I add 1/4 extra yeast over the 1 tsp. they recommend. I did doubt the small amount of yeast, but found it works well and makes for a great texture. Would recommend to anyone.
 Not enough yeast March 28, 2008

Here's the problem with this book - too little yeast. I own a Zojirushi bread maker that's excellent. The accompanying recipes work out fine. However, for every 3-4 cups of flour, Zojirushi recommends 2 tsp of yeast. For the equivalent amount in this book, the authors recommended about 1. Every loaf turned out bad until I upped the yeast. I can't figure out what the authors were thinking.
Almost Overwhelming March 22, 2008
I wanted to get additional recipes for my newly-purchased Breadman unit. And, this book fills the bill, and then some! I would have to live to be 200 to get close to trying out all of them! It is detailed, clearly written, and I would buy it again if I were to lose it.

Biggest Book of Bread Machine Recipes (Better Homes & Gardens) I purchased a Zo bread machine from Amazon.com and tried four (4)times to purchase a bread machine book from them. Finally on the fourth attempt they sent me the book UPS and it was delivered to my door. I gave Amazon both my street address and my billing address, a P.O. Box. When I made the purchase I of course opted for the super saver on the shipping and Amazon opted for the USPS (United States Postal Service). Some items i ordered were sent UPS and i received them on my doorstep. I didn't know the Post office would not deliver to my home shipping address when I have a P.O. Box. With the street address on the package the post office refuses to deliver and returns the package to sender as "Undeliverable as Addressed". They apparently can only recognize the P.O. Box. I didn't know that but, Amazon.com should have; they are in the mail order business. After a lot of cussing, swearing and volumes of e-mail between Customer service and myself, they finally shipped the book via UPS (United Parcel Service) and I received the book last Monday.
I have read the book COVER TO COVER, and we have made four of the recipes from the book. Three turned out very well, one didn't. If you buy this book you should know the recipes all seem to call for a very substantial cut in the amount of yeast and salt used, compared to the two books that came with my bread machines. So far I have only one complaint with the recipes in this book; it doesn't give a yeast adjustment for using QUICK yeast and the rapid feature on your machine. If you use Quick yeast and the Rapid feature on your machine, you will need to increase the amount of yeast used. Otherwise, nice book, with a lot of information and a lot of very interesting recipes for both the 1 1/2 and 2 pound loaf to play with. Using Bread Machine Yeast and staying with the recipe we got a very well shaped and tasty loaf, and we are happy. Enjoy!
