Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Although I generally liked the format of this book, including the fact that it is bound in a ring-binder, allowing the pages to lie flat, it has too many flaws to recommend warmly. First, since its publication 2-3 years ago, bread machine technology has marched on. The bread machines tested for the recipes in the book were apparently capable of only one type of loaf, whereas most newer models can make 1, 1 1/2 and 2 lb. loaves. Thus, it is not always clear where newer bread machines fit into the descriptions in the book, such as "large Welbilt", "small Welbilt", etc. A further flaw, and one which makes the book very difficult to use, is that the table of contents is quite brief, listing only the major divisions of the book, such as whole wheat breads. Within these major divisions, there is no other guide to what lies within that division than to page through it, recipe by recipe. This is particularly irksome because the authors provide multiple receipes for each type of bread machine which they tested. Thus, the recipe for any one type of bread runs on for several pages of variations. Finally, although I've only made three of the recipes in the whole wheat section, one of those recipes, that for light wheat bread, appears to be incomplete in that it provides for no shortening or oil, an omission which made the resulting loaf burn to the bottom of the cooking vessel, making it nearly impossible to remove whole. On the plus side, the book has a very good introduction on general bread machine baking, and many of the recipes look good. Generally, however, the faults of the book, including its stale research, make it one which is hard to recommend.

Revised and Updated for the Best Electric Bread Machines
After Lora Brody and Millie Apter discovered the joys of baking bread in electric bread machines, they decided to create and swap new recipes. Lora would rave about a newly developed recipe and send it to Millie, who would have disastrous results with it. What was going on? This mother-daughter team soon learned that the same recipe did not work in all machines, so it was back to the kitchen. After months of testing, they found that the amounts of ingredients and the order in which they are put into the machine affect the taste, crust, and the crumb of the bread. Thanks to them, now you too can discover the best ways to make bakery fresh bread at the touch of a button! Bread Machine Baking: Perfect Every Time has two features not found in other bread machine books: Each recipe is geared to a specific electric bread machine. All of the 75 recipes have been individually developed for and tested in every machine on the market. The innovative sweet and savory bread recipes, ranging from Lemon Mint Bread to Olive Onion Bread, and Granola Cranberry Bread to Chocolate Pecan Biscotti, were developed especially for this book.
