Amazing book! I haven't tried the recipes yet but they look simple to make and it's very easy to follow the recipes. The photos are very good! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

I am late to the bread baking game, but loving it so far.

This book is amazing for a beginner and my whole neighborhood is very thankful for this book. I having been baking different recipes out of this book and sharing with my neighbors. Everyone has been loving the different breads, and I am ready to move on to trying biscuits and scones. I have been posting photos of my baking and had a couple friends reach out about the recipes, I can't wait for this book to publish so I can just send them the book.

Not even joking, this was the absolute easiest book for making homemade bread! Great recipes and very simple! My favorite from the few recipes I made was the Banana Walnut bread! I made it without the walnut BUT still just the same it was delicious!! Highly highly recommend!

This book is a great resource for easy bread recipes that aren’t intimidating for beginners. The varieties of bread include crackers, biscuits (the American kind), scones, flatbread, muffins, doughnuts, and much more. Some items are not common in the US, which is nice for those who want to embark on a culinary adventure. There is also a gluten free chapter along with a GF flour mixture to get better results in your bakes.

I like that some of the first recipes use all purpose flour instead of bread flour so you can try baking bread without a trip to the grocery store. The book promotes the use of healthy fats over common vegetable oils. My only complaint is that one of these is lard, which is not something I have or want to use. I wish the book had offered a lard alternative.

Bread!!!!! I mean can you go wrong? This book is so beautifully formatted and displayed wonderful pictures of bread. No frills in the pictures either, just bread. I personally appreciated all the "No-Knead" recipes! Even a 48 hour no-knead ciabatta! I'm obsessed. I really liked how the types of breads were categorized in a sort of order of similar breads. The no-knead was in one section, the sourdough right after. This book is perfect for beginners like me! Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an ARC for my honest review!

I always find bread-making a bit of a daunting prospect, but wanted to give this a go, and this book looked like just the ticket!

There is a great variety of breads, scones, crackers, and biscuits (the U.S. variety, not UK biscuits). The pictures are really high quality and inviting, not every recipe has a photo, but most of them do, and the ones that don't have pictures tend to be varieties on those that do, so there's still a useful visual guide close by.

Ideally, I'd like to try and make something from every section to review how good the recipes are, but that will take a while, so I'll review based on a single recipe, and update when I can with any others I try.

I am a proper bread beginner! The very few times I've attempted something, it's been a misshapen dense something with dreams of being fluffy gorgeous bread, but I plunged into my first recipe from Easy Homemade Bread regardless.

Rather randomly, I tried out the soft pretzel recipe this morning! These don't look like the dark shiny pretzels I'm used to, but the book does specify 'soft' pretzels, and guess what?! Mine came out looking pretty close to the picture, a little bumpy, heftier than I'd imagined, but they're really tasty, and I'm really happy with them!

The only thing I really struggled with was the measurements, as I'm reviewing this from the UK, the US measurements were unexpected, and I've never been able to get my head around what a cup is as opposed to grams or even ounces. I don't have any way of measuring cups, other than doing a conversion, but internet conversions differ and it seems to depend entirely on what you're measuring. The book offers a small table of conversions at the end, but only supplies liquid cup measurement conversions, which wasn't that helpful since flour etc. isn't liquid. Would love recipe books in general to have direct conversions right there in the ingredients list to avoid having to search with hands covered in flour or dough.

Having said that, it was really interesting to read a U.S. recipe book as there's lots of food items that are new to me, I actually did not realise that huckleberries were real things, so I'm excited to try some of the less familiar breads and crackers, like corn breads, biscuits (are they like scones?), and Graham crackers (I've never had a s'more, and I don't know what Graham flour is, but I'll give it a whirl).

Thank you to Netgalley and Voyageur press for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Yum! Whose mouth doesn’t water when they think of freshly baked bread?! And boy, does this book feature bread! This delightful recipe book covers everything from the basic, traditional bread loaf, to fritters, dumplings, and pizza bases. Each recipe has clear, concise step by step instructions, and most have accompanying photographs to guide you through. There are helpful tips throughout the whole book, giving you the confidence to re-create even the most complex of recipes. The added gluten free section is a real added bonus too. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press and Netgalley for an eARC of this book to read and review

One of my favourite types of books to read are cookbooks, books about food, stories based on food. I just love food. And one thing have always wanted to do and never had much luck is bread baking. With this book I can see I will be trying harder to make a success of my bread baking.

The recipes are easy to follow and understand. The photos are wonderful and I love the chapters on 'No-Knead Breads, Flatbreads and Crackers, Muffins and Scones and Biscuits and Cornbread. At least I have a better chance of success with these recipes.

Looking forward to working my way through this book and trying all the different recipes. YUM!

A wonderful book about bread and all bread products. This cookbook covers everything from making bread anywhere from yeast, old fashioned, no knead, gluten free and sourdough breads to doughnuts, bagels, naan and crackers. This book will open your world to making many variations of bread at home and discover your love of freshly baked breads, crackers, bagels, and dumplings. Many tasty recipes to explore with beautifully laid out photos. There are many I am going to try as I am just getting into baking breads and feel comfortable exploring these recipes. I believe everyone will enjoy the recipes and exploration of making fresh baked goods.

This baking bread book is the one that will cover all avenues and expand your knowledge on baking.

Thanks to Netgalley, Publisher and authors for the opportunity to review the cookbook as well as the recipes!

I was looking for a recipe book on breads for my friend’s birthday when I stumbled across this one on NetGalley. It is a comprehensive collection of many types of breads, and even other baked goods like muffins and donuts. There is even a gluten free section. There are a lot of pictures, not one for every single recipe but probably for 80% of them. This won’t be published in time for my friend’s birthday but I would definitely purchase it for myself!
