Summary

Enjoy the ease, speed, and money-saving convenience of your bread machine as you make breads that have the taste, texture, and aroma of the handcrafted breads from a neighborhood bakery.

In this newly revised edition of the best-selling and most comprehensive bread-machine book ever written, The Bread Lover’s Bread Machine Cookbook, you will see the latest trends in bread reflected, with more sourdough breads, more gluten- and dairy-free breads, more breads from global cuisines, and more breads that feature veggies, fruits, and other plant-based ingredients. Also find information and tips on the latest technical developments in bread machines, such as programmable preset buttons.

When master baker Beth Hensperger, author of the James Beard Award–winning cookbook The Bread Bible, first set out to try to make bakery-quality breads in the bread machine, she doubted it would even be possible. So she spent hundreds of hours testing all sorts of breads in every kind of bread machine—and her doubts vanished! In this big, bountiful book, full of more than 325 bakery-delicious recipes, she reveals the simple secrets for perfect bread-machine bread, every time you make it. The book includes:

• Cheese, Herb, Nut, Seed, and Spice Breads
• Fruit and Vegetable Breads
• Pizza Crusts, Focaccia, and other Flatbreads
