Book Reviews of Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook: The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way
Book Review: A must-have bread book - SUPER
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful bread machine cookbook. I have bought them as gifts as well, and loved by all. I have been baking bread (without a machine) for many years. I bought a bread machine about 12 years ago, that I mostly use to make my dough. I now make many more breads and I love this book! I highly recommend this book! It has many recipes for artisan loaves to carve and bake in the oven if you wish. Well worth the money!Book Review: Love it, love it, love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband bought me a breadmaker probably two years ago and all I managed to produce from it were things that could be used to build homes. All my loaves resembled door stops or bricks and I gave up the hobby. Recently, I decided to give it another shot and so I ordered two cookbooks, this one and "Bread!" which I will also review (no 5 stars for that one...).

Phew! That's a long list! Anyhoo, I love this book and have made several beautiful and delicious loaves in just the few days I have had it (peanut butter bread, cheesy onion loaf, fiery four-pepper bread, etc). Each one has been beautiful and each recipe tells you if the loaf will, for instance, be shorter and more dense, so you don't freak out and think you've produced yet another cinderblock.
A great buy!
Book Review: Good book
Summary: 5 Stars
This bread machine cookbook has many good recipes and I really delight in making them. Any questions can be answered by BettyCrocker customer service if you call. Read all carefully and you will be very satisfied with this breadmachine cookbook - Using the Sunbeam 5891 breadmaker and very satisfied with both...Book Review: Good Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this book along with Sunbeam 5891 2-Pound Programmable Breadmaker for my Mom for Christmas, she uses the book all time, I would recommend it to anyone interested in simple and easy to understand bread baking tips.Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book for my boyfriend to use with the bread machine I gave him for Christmas. So far, he's tried 4 of the recipes, all of which turned out good. One recipe that it doesn't have, which I thought would be standard in any bread book, was a french bread recipe. This is the reason I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise it is complete and well written, with lots of extra tips & helps.
