In Hensperger’s (The Bread Bible) comprehensive volume on baking bread in a bread machine, the essential and foundational first chapter explains machine settings and includes a helpful section on what to do if something goes wrong. Recipes are geared to half-pound to two-pound bread machines. Eight chapters are devoted to all types of bread: white; wheat; sourdough; specialty flours; breads made with fruits, nuts, seeds, cheeses, or chocolate; pizzas and flatbreads; breakfast breads; no-yeast breads; and baking with jams and chutneys. Included among the 300-plus traditional and unique recipes are maple buttermilk bread, sour cream rye, chickpea flour bread, Swedish rye, whole wheat rolls, spelt bread, and coffee-molasses white bread. Also, two appendixes boast recipes on what to make with with all the bread—croutons, breadcrumbs, almond toasts—and accompaniments such as basil-baked tomatoes and egg salad with lemon mustard mayo.
VERDICT An essential volume for bread-machine bakers, at all levels, who want to learn or expand their bread-machine baking skills.
