 Not enough yeast March 28, 2008

Here's the problem with this book - too little yeast. I own a Zojirushi bread maker that's excellent. The accompanying recipes work out fine. However, for every 3-4 cups of flour, Zojirushi recommends 2 tsp of yeast. For the equivalent amount in this book, the authors recommended about 1. Every loaf turned out bad until I upped the yeast. I can't figure out what the authors were thinking.
 Almost Overwhelming March 22, 2008

I wanted to get additional recipes for my newly-purchased Breadman unit. And, this book fills the bill, and then some! I would have to live to be 200 to get close to trying out all of them! It is detailed, clearly written, and I would buy it again if I were to lose it.
big book filled with great recipes February 27, 2008

Biggest Book of Bread Machine Recipes (Better Homes & Gardens) I purchased a Zo bread machine from Amazon.com and tried four (4)times to purchase a bread machine book from them. Finally on the fourth attempt they sent me the book UPS and it was delivered to my door. I gave Amazon both my street address and my billing address, a P.O. Box. When I made the purchase I of course opted for the super saver on the shipping and Amazon opted for the USPS (United States Postal Service). Some items i ordered were sent UPS and i received them on my doorstep. I didn't know the Post office would not deliver to my home shipping address when I have a P.O. Box. With the street address on the package the post office refuses to deliver and returns the package to sender as "Undeliverable as Addressed". They apparently can only recognize the P.O. Box. I didn't know that but, Amazon.com should have; they are in the mail order business. After a lot of cussing, swearing and volumes of e-mail between Customer service and myself, they finally shipped the book via UPS (United Parcel Service) and I received the book last Monday.
I have read the book COVER TO COVER, and we have made four of the recipes from the book. Three turned out very well, one didn't. If you buy this book you should know the recipes all seem to call for a very substantial cut in the amount of yeast and salt used, compared to the two books that came with my bread machines. So far I have only one complaint with the recipes in this book; it doesn't give a yeast adjustment for using QUICK yeast and the rapid feature on your machine. If you use Quick yeast and the Rapid feature on your machine, you will need to increase the amount of yeast used. Otherwise, nice book, with a lot of information and a lot of very interesting recipes for both the 1 1/2 and 2 pound loaf to play with. Using Bread Machine Yeast and staying with the recipe we got a very well shaped and tasty loaf, and we are happy. Enjoy!
What a selection January 7, 2008

There are so many tasty recipes in the book. It also gives recipes for both 1.5 and 2 lb loaves of bread. Along with that they also put a lot of extras in there.
Very nice book...lots of recipes! January 1, 2008

I got this book as a gift with my new Cuisinart bread machine and so far I really like it. I have made cinnamon-raisin bread as a Christmas gift which was a huge hit and pear loaf which was fantastic for toast in the morning, and both recipes turned out fantastic.
I don't have a problem at all with the different colors of type in the book but I have very bright lights in my kitchen. I can see how they would be a problem but they don't bother me.
Honestly, the reason for the four stars is because they included bonus chapters on soups, stews and sandwiches. I know that is not a big deal but I wanted a book with bread machine recipes, not anything else. Just kind of weird. Plus, they seem to deal a lot with thirds in the butter quantities which is kind of strange and hard to guestimate since the stick of butter has marks for tablespoons.
All in all though, a great book and I can't wait to work my way through it. I would definitely recommend it to others!
