Warm and savory, aromatic and sensual, no wonder bread has become the health and gourmet food of the '90s! Nutrition and taste-conscious people are eating more and more bread-and making it themselves with the push of a button. Electric Bread offers Today's automatic bread machine owners more recipes, more uses and more fun than ever. And it's the first cookbook offering guidance and creative recipes to achieve high quality bread in all makes and models. Electric Bread's "secret ingredient" is our test kitchen. We've analyzed thousands of test loaves to determine what works, and why. Our recipes have been precisely tested and evaluated to ensure quality results in every machine. Ever make saffron bread in your bread maker? How about cottage dill? In addition to gourmet recipes for both regular and large loaves, Electric Bread delivers sticky buns, calzone, croutons, flavored butters and unique spreads. Full-page color photographs, splatter-resistant pages, and lay-open design join with an easy, understandable narrative to make Electric Bread as user friendly as the new push-button bread machines themselves. At Innovative Cooking Enterprises, we know that you don't have to give up taste to save time, or trade quality for the convenience of a home bread maker.
Used this for a short time when I had a bread machine. I decided I really prefer making bread by hand, but I thought the recipes in this book were pretty good. They were certainly better than recipes from any other source I found. Gave it away with the bread machine.
This is at the top of my list (along with Bread Machine Magic) as my favorite bread machine cookbook. The breads turn out just the way the book describes them and its simple directions are very easy to follow. There are quantities for both 1 lb and 1-1/2 lb loaves for every recipe. The photos are beautiful.
Favorite recipes include: Garlic (wonderful texture), Easy French (very tasty and very easy), Outrageously Oatmeal (easy), Sun Nut (nice chewy texture).
