 What a wonderful bread baking experience Sep 09, 2007
By Erin O. Clayton
"cookbook junkie"
This book is just wonderful! I have been baking bread by hand for several years now and have thouroughly enjoyed it, but this book has helped me to stretch beyond the recipe and try some new things. In the past 2 weeks, I think I have made 7 recipes out of this book. I just can't seem to stop. The Bulgur Oatmeal bread, I think, is the best bread I have ever tasted. Absolutely AMAZING! I also made the Sesame Burger Buns, Whole Wheat Long Rolls, Vienna Bread, Pain Campagne and Farm-Style White Bread with Cardamom. I have probably 200 cookbooks and this is my new favorite! A must read!

Every recipe has come out great! Oct 14, 2007

"SerendipiT"
I love this book. It is by far, the easiest, most delicious bread recipe book I have owned. Without getting overly technical it gives recipes and tips for making wonderful home cooked bread. I don't have a bread maker, but there are plenty of those recipes as well. I made the mountain white bread first and it made wonderful sandwiches for lunch. Next, I made banana bread that was so moist and delicious I've already had requests for more.

Only Bread book you'll ever need Aug 01, 2005
By Bella Cucina
"part time domestic goddess"
This bread book is a delight. Unlike Rosie's Bread Bible, this one is accessible, and is more for the home baker than the scientist. Have tried the Whole Wheat bread with olive oil (which allows for some improvisation, I converted the recipe into 5grain bread), and the Carrot bread, and both turned out great. My family says they would choose the carrot bread over any carrot cake, anytime!
You can still indulge in carbs by enjoying these breads in the morning, and having no other carbs after breakfast.

updated: brought back fond memories of my aunt's kitchen Sep 17, 2008
By C. Mills
"fueled by coffee"
i've been baking bread at the side of many relatives over the years, and have never found a cookbook that so perfectly captures everything i love about bread. the thrill of watching yeast proof, seeing your dough rise, and that final tantalizing scent of loaves baked already eaten. i made the buttermilk honey bread to start, and while it baked, it took me back to my aunt's kitchen in lincoln NE, making bread for the very first time.
every single loaf of bread i've made has been a huge hit... farmstead sourdough, oatmeal potato bread (omg yummy!) homemade flour tortillas (way better than store bought), graham bread... and i've only had the cookbook for 3 weeks.
the book has an absolutely fantastic collection of recipes, well laid out, with clear directions. the tips and tricks, also known as "bakers wisdom" really help new bakers begin, and hobbyists refine this joyful art. there are times the author throws some new ideas at you, which might not follow what you've been taught, or thought you should do. and if you try it her way, you'll be pleasantly surprised. great for acquiring new skills in the kitchen, and you don't have to have a mixer. just an ability to read the recipe, and throw your weight around with some dough.
this is a wonderful introduction to bread, and definitely my fave cookbook purchase of 2008.
whether you're looking for a dessert type bread, a hard working whole wheat, or a more unusual european varietal, this book hits all the high points.
UPDATE: 05/09/2011
So after owning this book for 2 1/2 years, watching my pages get stained with coffee from late night baking binges, wrinkly and covered in flour, I can truthfully say, this book is a workhorse in my kitchen. I own several other "big name" bread books, like the bread bakers apprentice and artisan bread in 5, and while those two have their place, this cookbook has not been eclipsed. I've not come across any major errors in the recipes, although I have not made the black bread that other reviewers have complained about. I've baked through a significant portion of the recipes, more than half, and Hensperger has crafted an essential basic bread cookbook. When I say "basic," I mean basic like a little black dress, an Hermes scarf, perfectly fitted trousers or a single strand of pearls. This book is one of those - essential, classic, and indispensable. Don't miss out on this bread book - it is absolutely worth it.

Best Bread book and great for beginners Jan 12, 2008
By L. Lanning
"Novice Baker"
I love making homemade breads from scratch. I had a few basic recipes at home that use my stand mixer and a select few by hand. There are several I wanted to try in my various cookbooks, but the instructions were too difficult or because I am still new to baking bread, there are some basic steps that were missing because it is standard. I borrowed this book from the library first;in case there were too few recipes I'd use. This book explains it all with really delicious recipes. It made me feel like I can make any style of bread. I'm trying bagels next. She also gives tips when using the stand mixer, by hand or converting to bread machine. The steps are detailed enough to follow step by step and get wonderful results. I have already marked at least 20 recipes I want to use. And I am buying the book to have a copy of my own.
