Thank you to NetGalley and Harvard Common for an ARC of this book. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is a very dense, information packed book. As a beginner it was very overwhelming to read, and it was easy to feel lost.

The recipes do look very good, but 99% of them are written for 1.5 and 2lb machines. My machine is a 1lb one. Yes, I know I can do the math on the 2lb recipes, but for a lot of them the measurements won't evenly divide. There were only a very small handful of 1lb recipes in the entire book.

I think this would be an excellent book if you have a larger bread machine than I do. I plan on giving a few of the recipes a try once the weather gets cooler.

I adore this book! Being allergic to soya means buying bread in shops is almost impossible. There's only 1 or 2 loaves I can buy. Having a bread maker has made my life easier, and this book was the perfect companion for it!

Beth Hensperger’s updated and expanded cookbook has it all: step-by-step explanations on how to use an electronic bread machine, pros and cons of different types of machines, directions for machines from the more primitive to the fancy-pants kinds with all kinds of settings.

The bread machine’s heyday came in the 1990s, and, sadly, they’ve fallen out of favor — which is a real shame, as families are looking to cut out ingredients they can’t pronounce out of their food. Someone can just place the ingredients in the bread machine (the correct order is paramount!), close the lid and pop out a loaf in less than three hours. No work at all! Also, with a bread machine, cooks can dispense with the onerous kneading and still mold the bread and bake it in the oven. This cookbook has something for everyone, from the newbie to an experienced baker eager to make the apple butter for their Apple Butter Bread or wanting to try their hand at Challah or holiday breads where you candy your own fruit peels. (Whew! Way more than I’m going to do!)

Hensperger includes everything from plain, white bread (so much better than that nasty Wonder bread!) to rye breads to DIY hotdog and hamburger buns to Italian Chocolate Bread with Amaretto Icing (where you glacée your own dried fruit). She even includes recipes for using up leftover bread, including a dozen bread pudding variations. I cannot recommend this book enough!

It's a nicely written bread machine cookbook, but I prefer the older version.

You get over 300 recipes for any occasion, and all are easy to read and follow. The downside for me is just about every recipe includes one tablespoon full of Gluten, which is something I don't keep in my pantry, so it was a bit disappointing. Like the older version, this one has no images but you don't need them, just follow the directions and don't forget the glutin and you're good to go. LOL

Make the herb bread first it's wonderful. ;)

Five out of five stars (5 out of 5)!!

This is a beautiful bread cookbook with a lot of brilliant recipes that I can't wait to try, I even wrote a couple down to try in the morning. The book is also filled to the rim with bread machine tips and tricks about everything from dough shaping to jam making. Brilliant for it to be so inclusive as to what the author includes in her bread making travels.

One thing I will note, the illustrations are very blurry.

I would recommend this to anyone with a bread maker that they want to explore more thoroughly.

I love my bread machine and i can’t wait to test these recipes! There are so many! From classic white breads to fancy breads and jams. There are recipes for white breads, egg breads, whole wheat, gluten free, multigrain, traditional loafs, sourdough, flavored breads, cheese breads, pizza, savory bread, sweet bread, coffee cakes, rolls, chocolate breads, holiday breads, and also jams, preserves and spreads. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley and letting me review this book. This was a great read and gave some quick and easy recipes. I definitely can’t wait to try these recipes.

LOVE LOVE LOVVVVVED this...I have so many more ideas for my machine now and have enjoyed trying them as some are so different

I loved this! I’ve made a lot of my own bread, but never had a go with a bread machine. This book was my helping hand to make some of the most delicious bread, in the easiest way possible! Imagine waking up to mouthwatering fresh bread, in a range of yummy flavours- this books helps you to make that dream come true! With simple step by step instructions to follow, yummy recipes, helpful how tos, this cookbook is definitely one you’ll want to add to your kitchen shelf.
Would definitely recommend.

With thanks to Netgalley, and the publisher, for an e-ARC to read and review.

The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook, Newly Expanded and Updated : A Master Baker's 300-Plus Favorite Recipes for Perfect-Every-Time Bread–From Every Kind of Machine. This is an extensive and varied recipe books to suit all kinds of tastes and dietary requirements. It is suitable for any level as the instructions are very comprehensive and easy to follow. I particularly like the sweet bread recipes. Definitely one to keep on the shelf as you will always find what you are looking for in the 300 recipes on offer. A great book.

I was so grateful to be given the opportunity to review this book as I've had a breakdown machine sitting in its box for too long now. Full of lots of different recipes this has given me inspiration and ideas about where to start with my bread making.

This is the cookbook of all bread machine cookbooks. I love the recipes. No, I have not made any of them yet, but I will be purchasing the hardback.

Many thanks to Net Galley and Quarto Publishing Group for a copy of this cookbook in exchange for an honest review.

I have a bread machine on my wedding registry, so I was very interested in a recipe book for it! The introduction is great for a novice like me, and I liked the layout. Illustrations are minimal and recipes are thorough. There is even gluten free bread recipes, and not just one or two. I love that there is a whole section just for cheese and Holiday breads. An added bonus was a chapter devoted to spreads for your breads. This cookbook has convinced me to get a bread machine even if I am not gifted one. I can’t wait to get this book as well! I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Being new to bread making I wanted a book with instructions, ideas, and easy recipes. This book certainly packs a punch. It has everything, including 300 bread recipes - fruit, herb, grains, cheese, and the list goes on, cake, sweet rolls, chocolate bread, as well as jams and toppings and sandwich recipes. I just want to bake perfect bread, white or brown. And yes I managed it, along with a brioche loaf. Some great hints and tips. I think maybe this book is better suited to someone who likes to experiment with their bread maker with advanced recipes, there just seems to be so many recipes and suggestions that I know I won’t use. I will say that the electronic version doesn’t do it justice.

This is the most comprehensive bread machine cookbook I have ever used. It has provided me the opportunity to crank up the bread machine and try out a myriad of recipes I had never attempted before. Each has turned out perfectly! It’s been eye opening to attempt Coconut Milk White Bread, Coffee Molasses Wheat Bread, and Swedish Rye with the support of this book. I feel as though I have a safety net! In addition to the recipes, there is a wealth of information about the ingredients and the breads themselves.
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the advance copy. All opinions are my own

The Bread lover's bread machine cookbook has over 300 bread recipes.

The Sections are
orientation
daily breads (white breads and egg breads)
earth's bounty (whole wheat, whole grain, specialty flour)
traditional loaves (country breads and sourdough breads)
All kinds of flavors
circles, squares and crescents (pizza and flatbreads)
sweet loaves
express lane bread (no yeast quick breads)
jams, preserves, and chutneys

Each recipe has a little blurb, ingredients, and directions. Most of the recipes have multiple portion options. I quite enjoyed the layout of the cookbook. I will say there are very few photos and I enjoy to be able to see the finished recipe, but in this cookbook I didn't mind it as much.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This cookbook is a true game-changer for anyone who owns a bread machine! The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook by Beth Hensperger is a no-nonsense treasure trove with over 300 recipes designed to elevate your bread-baking skills to new heights. With a solid 153 pages filled entirely with recipes, this book focuses on substance over frills. While you won't find glossy colour photographs, the scattering of line drawings adds a charming touch without taking up valuable space that's better devoted to even more recipes.

I typically enjoy cookbooks with colourful images, but in this case, the absence of photos feels like a deliberate choice that works to the book's advantage. It allows for a wider range of recipes, ensuring there's something for everyone—from classic loaves to creative variations.

The recipes are straightforward and easy to follow, making this cookbook an excellent resource for novice and experienced bakers. Each recipe is thoughtfully crafted, helping you achieve perfect bread every time. I can't wait to add a physical copy of this book to my kitchen library and further experiment with all its recipes.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quanto Publishing - Harvard Common Press for providing me with an e-book copy in exchange for my honest review.

This excellent book has got my bread machine out of retirement. Full of tasty bread recipes that are easy to make, also you can make jams and chutneys. The only downside is all the recipes are in American scale but it has a conversion table at the beginning. I would recommend this to anyone to get them machines out of the cupboard. Thanks to Quatro publishing and Netgalley for this review copy.

I absolutely enjoyed this fantastic cookbook. The recipes are super easy to follow and pretty simple and straight forward. Most of the ingredients are already in my pantry. Simple, easy recipes to enjoy every day! Yum!!

The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook could have been formatted better as the font size seemed a bit small - at least for the Advanced Reading Copy (ARC) - I received was difficult to read. What I did read looked like a good cookbook with recipes for both 2 pound and 1 pound bread machines. It's rare to find 1 pound bread machine recipes in today's cookbooks so this was a plus for me as I own a 1 pound Zojirushi bread machine. Overall, this looks like a good holiday gift that should make any baker happy.
