Recommended Bread Cookery Books for Breadmaker?
« on: February 05, 2010, 01:24:15 PM »
Ok, I'm making my first loaf of bread (ever) in my new breadmaker (thank you, MIL, for the money and Mrs R, for the idea!  :-* ).

But I started to wonder what are the best bread cookery books for breadmakers. Anyone have any suggestions?

TIA!

I have a couple I brought from the US, but to be honest, we just use the booklet that came with the breadmaker!  Lol!  :)

When I had my breadmaker in the US I used the little book that came with it...it always made lovely bread, pizza dough and bagel dough and had wonderful little suggestions on different variations to try.

I seriously love this low-fat no-sugar bread machine cookbook. At first I just scanned a few from my friend's copy but then I made so much that I bought my own. Beyond the title, it's got really good stuff like "green apple and curry bread" and "sour cherries and bran", etc. Really cool, weird breads. It uses US measurements and has nutritional information for each recipe, too.

 ;D I think I need your naan bread recipe. I don't think we have one.

Thanks, Squirrelly!  :)

J, I'll see about scanning & emailing our recipe booklet to you.  There are more recipes in the booklet (it's got these extensive little charts for the recipes) we got with the bread machine than what we have ever used!  Maybe we are boring though - we use it all the time, but tend to stick to the basics for the most part:  wholemeal bread (for sandwiches or toast), pizza dough, naan dough, occasionally a French style bread (not often) or rolls.  :)

That would be amazing! Thank you! :-*

Type the brand and model of the breadmaker into Google.  I found the manual for my machine online, in .pdf format, that way.  I think I bought my machine in 1999 or so.

Might be even easier because as we were going to bed last night - I realised we don't have a flat bed type scanner any longer.  Boo!  :(

I'll see if our manual is available online.
