Using an imaginative range of ingredients for traditional and international favorites, you can easily bake anything from everyday classics like Olive Oil bread to more exotic loaves like Mediterranean Herb with Salt Glaze even wheat-free breads. Including simple instructions for basic techniques, tips from the experts, and an easy-reference troubleshooting guide, this wonderful resource takes all the effort out of baking the perfect loaf!

This week's bread machine trial is a bust! This book was printed in the UK, and it says in the intro that all recipes are for a 1.5 lb loaf (okay fine) and ingredients are listed in both metric and Imperial (okay fine) buuuuuut turns out the ingredient amounts are listed by WEIGHT (grams or ounces), not volume. I know measuring by weight is a more accurate method, but I do not have a kitchen scale, so I can't use this book.

All the recipes I tried turned out amazing. If you are tired of your bread machine’s manufacturer’s book, this book will make you happy.

WHAT I LIKED:
-Every recipe has a mouth-watering picture of the bread - as a loaf, a sandwich, toast, etc.
-The introductory section includes clear explanations of ingredients, procedures, FAQ, and extra hints.

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
-The recipes don't seem "easy" to me and I've been using my bread machine for a few years now.
-The measurements are mostly in metric units (ml, g) but alternative amounts are included. The problem is that I'm used to measurements in cups, not ounces. I could convert 13 oz to the equivalent number of cups, but that's just an extra step that isn't necessary for me because there are many other bread machine cookbooks. This impracticality is what made me give the book 2 stars.

This has to be my favourite of all bread books I have ever written. Very easy and very good recipes.

Only 1 recipe looks good and that's the one on the cover.
Unusual ingredients and measurements.
