When you make your own bread, you can also make healthy choices by controlling fats, salt, sugar, and adding grains and nutritious fruits to the dough. You can also shape the dough into rolls, buns,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
So far, I've only made three recipes from this book: pizza dough, sourdough french bread and wholesome multigrain bread. All were three were lovely. I've used the pizza dough for years and I'll be making the others again and often. I'm inspired to try more recipes. The book is very well laid out. Each recipe has its own page with an introduction with background and maybe tips. Often, there is also a full-page photo on the facing page. The ingredient list is clear with a column each for large and extra large loaves, clearly separated by the ingredient name itself. Many recipes also have extra tips or recipe variations on the side. And, the recipe variations are useful, not just "try adding raisins!" For instance, the pizza dough includes five variations - more traditional, multigrain, herbed, no-fat and bread bowls. The tips are more in-depth, too - beyond "flour should be spooned, not scooped." One reads, "Kalamata and Niçoise olives cured in brine have the best flavor, but pitted canned olives are more convenient." In the back of the book, there's a nice section on ingredients, tips and troubleshooting.
Great book!!!

I found this book to be easy to read and use. Yes, sometimes it does call for different ingredients, which make for a different taste. That's one thing that makes it special. It is not just the usual rehashed recipes for the same old breads. The breads, and the absolutely BEST sticky buns I have ever tasted, turn out beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. I have been using breadmachines for at least 10 years and have numerous books. This is one of my favorites.
