My purist friends cringe that I use a bread machine, but with work, family and a burned out mixer I do not have the time or energy. So sue me. But this book gives wonderful recipes from whole wheat that actually rises to pretzels and challah. There are a few ingredients like date sugar that I haven't really looked for yet, but I just don't make those breads. This takes me only 5-10 minutes to make healthier and tastier bread for us all.

Read this years ago and still make some of our fav recipes, including the English Toasted Bread (p. 48) and the French Onion Bread (p. 226). We make it in the bread machine and just in the oven. Either way works fine! I like how MacKenzie includes the recipe sized appropriately, so you can look at it size-by-side and decide what size loaf you'd like to make. Some recipes don't halve or double well, but she did the math for the reader.
