Book Reviews of Bread Machine Magic, Revised Edition: 138 Exciting Recipes Created Especially for Use in All Types of Bread Machines
Book Review: Great recipes but very odd way of listing measurements
Summary: 4 Stars
I have ordered several bread machine cookbooks on Amazon and I have found wonderful loaves come out of my bread machine with this one...in fact the Jalapeno cheddar is one of our favorites (but we add extra chunks of cheddar when it beeps for add-ins). That one is wonderful for sandwiches and a good side for a Southwestern meal.
We have a 2 pound bread maker and I was pleased that this included recipes for the larger loaf machines, as well as the medium, and small loaves...every recipe lists measurements for a small, medium, and large loaf.
There is a VERY wide variety of breads and it also includes easy doughs to finish into rolls, etc. The book has 138 recipes total. It even has a great recipe for soft pretzels! So you are sure to expand your thinking in terms of what you can do with your bread maker.
Here are some other examples:
Multigrain buttermilk bread
Honey Whole Wheat Bread
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
Authentic French Bread
Dill Bread
Buttermilk Cheese Bread
Russian Black Bread
Orange Coconut Sweet Rolls
Tomato Bread
Beer Bread...
...and lots more in between!
That said, I am an "extreme" cookbook collector but this was the first cookbook I had ever seen that, on some recipes, didn't give you an exact measurement. Any baker knows that you have to be pretty precise on baking ingredients...so much so that commercial bakers use weights just to be exact. Now, I wouldn't want weights in my cookbook, but this book will say things like "1/8 to 1/4 c milk" on a recipe for a medium loaf. That's a pretty big difference. Or odd measurements like "7/8 to 1 cup buttermilk" 7/8? What cookbook gives you things like that? Another is "1 1/4 to 1 3/8 c water". And how do you decide which way you should go since you aren't making the recipe up on your own...you are using a cookbook to get it exactly precise?
Because of that, I wondered if these weren't exactly "tried out" prior to printing, but perhaps came from variations of other recipes?
It does say you need to watch your bread if it kneads and if it appears dry to add the extra liquid...but lets, face it, we buy the bread machine to dump in the ingredients and let it do all the work while we do something else and we know it can do this easily and well.
Still, the recipes are great. I use whatever ingredient measurement sounds most "normal"...if it says 7/8 to 1 cup I add a cup. And I should note this isn't on every recipe that the author does this...also, it's usually only one ingredient on any given recipe, not all ingredients. Typically she'll have the variation in measurements on the liquid. Apparently, my way of figuring out the measurement works (the one that sounds most normal(!))...we haven't had a bad loaf yet. They've all been great. So perhaps I've been lucky or that variation doesn't make so big of a difference after all? I don't stand and watch my bread maker knead in order to work out the proper amount. That defeats the purpose somewhat in my opinion.
If you aren't a fan of the cookbooks that ask you to add in wheat gluten, you won't need to here. Of course you can always add in anyway but some cookbooks call for it and it's not always easy to find.
Know going in: If you like photos, there are none here. I'm okay with that...most loaves look fairly similar but if you need the visual, this may not be the book for you. Also, it's printed on regular paper like a novel would be written on...not slick or easy to wipe. I LOVE LOVE the fact that the author listed the nutritionals for each loaf. I can NEVER find that in bread cookbooks and they can vary quite a bit so if you are someone who watches your intake, it does help and that's a huge bonus in my book.
Conclusion: Though I wished further testing would have been done to work out the science behind the perfect loaf with precise measurements and I would have preferred some slick pages, I still love this book because it has some great flavors and it has the calorie, fat, etc content too.
