The New Bread Machine Book

by Marjie Lambert

The New Bread Machine takes up where the well-thumbed original Bread Machine Book left off. Marjie Lanbert's latest cookbook is rich with exciting new bread recipes, all designed for use with a bread machine, and all guaranteed to bring that wondrous aroma of freshly baked bread into your kitchen.For her new collection, Marjie shares her ideas for multi-grain and rye breads, sweet bread and foccacio, classic holiday breads, bagels, and biscuits. As always, Marjie makes full use of the bread machine to ensure that the breads can be underway in less time than it takes to heat a ready-made pizza. There is an introduction to the bread machine and to the bread-baking ingredients to reassure the least confident of cooks and ensures best flavor and perfect results every time. The recipes are illustrated with over fifty pages of glorious color photographs.The New Bread Machine Book is especially for those who just love home-baked bread but don't want to spend hours laboring in the kitchen. Forget the claims that bread making is an art and a switch on to this selection of never-fail recipes, and discover just how easy-and rewarding-it can be.

Book is full of easily approachable bread recipes. Some for the bread machine and some for a conventional oven. The step by step instructions are thorough for all the conventional oven recipes, but for the bread machine recipes you’re instructed to follow the machines order of placement for each item. That works fine for those who know or have access to other recipes to help guide them through the ingredient order process, but leaves those without the knowledge and inability to get it stuck.

Since I bought this to use through all stages in my bread machine I will be focusing on those recipes (although I did tab a few for when I get a working oven, again). I do like the variety of breads throughout the cookbook. This cookbook offers more variety and uniqueness in their loaves of bread than the other bread machine cookbooks I have reviewed, to date.

This cookbook only offers recipes for 1 and 1 1/2 pound sized loaves. Some utilize speciality products such as bulgar, toasted wheat germ, and vital wheat gluten.

There is a whole chapter dedicated to RYE bread. While they are baked in a conventional oven. Even though rye bread isn’t my favorite, I can appreciate the fact that I want to make two of them very much, and maybe a third.

Another bread that has its own chapter is SOURDOUGH. It’s quite a lengthy chapter teaching you all about how to make a starter from scratch. The steps are simple and straightforward. If I can understand them, I know you can.
