Some of the recipes here are similar to the ones that come with the bread machine and some are different and some look like they take a lot more work and time to make. Il’ll be trying some of these recipes and I’ll update my review once I do so. It’s a nice complement to the original bread cookbook that comes with the machine because it has some other different recipes. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This was a book I’ve been searching for! I’m a daily bread baker and have loved baking bread in the oven, however, sometimes it’s just easier to dump ingredients into the bread machine and let it be. I’m so thankful for the chance at trying out some of these recipes, especially the English muffin recipe and some of the rye/sourdough starters because instead of waiting a week or more for an active starter, the overnight option will be a lifesaver. I’ll be sure to grab a hard copy upon release! I can’t wait!

I started this book expecting to find recipes to jazz up my bread making with my machine. Instead I found so much more. There’s lots here beyond recipes. There’s general information on baking bread, information on buying machines, troubleshooting on how to "fix"problems and then loads of excellent recipes.

I’m in the UK and my machine has recipes using cups and spoons, so I’m happy to use the US recipes because my machine has a maximum loaf size using 4 cups of flour and this book has many recipes with 4 cups of flour.

I’ve bookmarked a few including a Chickpea Flour loaf and the recipes for challah and chocolate croissants. There’s lots here if you’re new to bread machines or if, like me, you’re getting a bit bored with your usual recipes.

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley

Yum!! I go through cookbooks and read it like I would any other book. This one has delicious recipes that are so easy and yummy. The bread machine can be tricky, but the author did a great job of breaking it down to make everyone be a success!

Beth Hensperger's baking books are always reliable. I have use so many for years and years. This new book is no different. There are tons of great recipes but more importantly enough really useful information and troubleshooting ideas to help a beginner feel confident and successful baking breads!

I am in the UK and nobody here uses measures like cups, we all weigh ingredients. Thus, though this book has some interesting features, it would be frustrating in the extreme to use any of the recipes.

A kilogram version is needed!

My sister gave me her bread machine not long ago, and I've felt too intimidated to try and make anything beyond basic bread that it's sat in my spare room closet for far too long. This easy to follow and super informative cookbook is absolutely perfect for beginners like me to fall in love with their bread machine! There are so many delicious sounding recipes in here, I can't decide which to do first. Balsamic caramelized onion bread? Morning sticky buns? Prosciutto stuffing bread?!? They all sound so good!!!

Thank you SO MUCH NetGalley and Quatro Publishing for this fantastic arc and getting me excited for breaaaadddd yum!!

I have been curious about buying a bread machine for a while now. I must be the only person left in America that doesn't have one. I thought this would be the perfect book to help me decide if and what kind I needed.
There's a great deal of information about sizes of machines what kinds of bells and whistles it might have. This is the perfect book for the beginner bread maker user. Charts and hints. Steps to follow, measurements. A good reference book. And most importantly a troubleshooting section. Each recipe has directions for a 1 pound and 2 pound loaf. And the recipes sound wonderful everything from a regular white bread to challah to English muffins to sticky buns to hamburger buns. I think I need a bread machine to try out these new recipes.

What a delight to find a bread machine book that goes into detail about the pros and cons of the various brands and different sizes of loafs a available - to me Beth does a better job than others I have read without selling any certain brand or size. The early chapters (before the recipes) read well and gave me so much information that I suggest reading them even if you think you understand your machine. And let's talk about the recipes: six chapters include white and egg bread, wheat and whole-grain breads, sourdough, herbs, sweet, unyeasted - with recipes for both 1 1/2 and 2 pound loaves. There are also recipes for bagels, baguettes, sweet rolls, and other baked goods that used the machines through the rise and then need to be shaped before baking in your oven. All recipes use flour and some even add gluten (FYI). The book includes an extensive index in the back for you to quickly find exactly the bread you crave next!

I would like to thank the Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for an advanced copy for review.

This is for beginners who want both good results and the reasons for those results. The information on machines and cycles is useful to machine owners new and veteran. Someday I will have to replace the machine I've had for many years and it was kind of eyeopening seeing how basic the old thing is and the different cycles available now and what they do. The information on ingredients is thorough and worth the time to read. There is a nice variety of recipes included. Hensperger uses gluten in all of them so I'll be ordering some to see how much difference it makes. The book is very well organized and includes conversion charts and a detailed index.

My advice to someone with a brand new machine just itching to make bread is to find a very basic recipe (one that came with the machine?) and go ahead and enjoy. Then later, look into other books on the subject and put this one at the top of that list.

I received a digital advanced copy of this book compliments of New Show Press and NetGalley.

This book really will be a big help for those who have just purchased a bread machine. The author gives information on how best to use the features of your machine and provides plenty of recipes.

Tons of recipes that are easy to follow and absolutely delicious!
The only “con” would be that you obviously need a bread maker machine for these but that’s in the title so… 5 stars!!

I love the thought of making bread, and even have a bread machine! But I've never actually gotten brave enough to use it! This book was great and had lots of info but in an easy to read way that wasn't using words I didn't understand. I plan on trying a few of these recipes this week! Especially the "sticky buns", homemade cinnamon rolls are the best!

I really appreciated that this book had the recipes for 2 lb and 1 1/2 lb breads right on the same page. So many books claim you can just blanketly adjust a recipe but that’s not really true. Many loaves of bread are ruined by this!

I liked the variety and that there were largely recipes that were completely made in the machine.

My bread machine is definitely one of my most valued kitchen appliances. I use it a lot, but do tend to stick to the same tried and trusted recipes. It felt like time for some new ideas, and luckily this book has plenty which I'm looking forward to trying.

As well as recipes, there's a lot of useful background information about the art of
breadmaking by machine, including troubleshooting tips.

Measurements are in cups, so British readers will have to convert - there is a cups to grams conversion chart in the back of the book.

A really useful book which I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of.

A good book, that includes really detailed instructions on how to use a bread maker, which is great for beginners. There's a couple of recipes that I will definitely been trying out on my machine soon.

The book gives many tips and advice on how to make bread using a bread machine. Everything is explained in a simple way as it should be for beginners. I've found a lot of good recipes for different types of bread and time will tell if they are yummy. I recommend this book to those who want to excel in bread making.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is perfect timing. I just got a bread machine and was going to start looking for more recipes that weren't included in the manual and voila! This book shows up!

There's quite a few categories to choose from in the book for what kind of bread you are looking for. Simple, basic ones all the way up to sweet breads. I can't wait to use my machine to make some of these breads. Great tips, well written recipes, and easy to follow instructions.

This book was great! Making bread is one of my favourite hobbies and I try to bake a bread every other week. I normally use a ready-to-use bread mix from our local mill, but these recipes gave me the courage to try and make a bread from scratch. Most ingredients are kept simple and the step by step guides are easy to follow.
Overall, this book had some lovely ideas I can’t wait to try out.

This is a fantastic insight into bread making using a machine. It is full of tips to correct problems as well as numerous recipes.
