Making Artisan Breads in the Bread Machine unlocks all the
potential of your bread machine, revealing its surprising versatility
and amazing breadth.
Delicious, comforting, and authentic artisan breads are expensive to buy
at your grocery store or local bakery. Now you can use your bread
machine to make them at home for a fraction of what store-bought breads
cost.
Veteran chef, baker, and food writer Michelle Anderson has put dozens of
models and sizes of bread machines through their paces and knows better
than anyone what a bread machine can do. Would you like a boule or a
baguette with your next picnic or brunch? Would the delectable aroma
of a just-made ciabatta or focaccia create the perfect
atmosphere for your next pasta supper? Michelle shows you the fastest
and easiest ways to make these and many other rustic and comforting
breads. Her recipes include breads made from start to finish in the
bread machine and others that, because of their shape, are started in
the bread machine and finished in a regular oven--the latter still a
much easier method than starting from scratch on a counter-top.
Rugbrod (Danish rye bread), Irish Soda Bread, San Francisco Sourdough,
German Peasant Bread, Pane Siciliano...there's a wide and wondrous world
of amazing breads to discover in the pages of this book. You'll even
find chapters on cheese breads and herb breads, and an
especially delicious one on sweet breads to have for dessert or with
your morning coffee.
Millions of people are rediscovering the simple, soul-warming
pleasures of freshly made, home-cooked bread. It's not a lot of work
at all--if you own a bread machine and have a copy of this incredibly
inventive and eminently reliable cookbook.
