INTRODUCTION
M
aking bread is an almost primal
activity, with the very physical
kneading, careful supervision of the
rising dough, and the deep satisfaction
of serving piping hot bread to your
family. It is also incredible that a few
simple ingredients can produce such a
wonderfully complex finished food.
Bread is a delight and can seem like
culinary magic. Yet, bread making is a
skill that even many professional chefs
do not master because it takes time
(and well-developed biceps) to create
loaves for service and to offer to
clients. In most cases, you have to start
at 3:00 a.m. to allow for the
completion of all the bread-making
steps, and many people do not have
this sort of commitment or patience.
Outside of professional kitchens,
most people in today’s fast-paced
world do not have time to make
homemade bread, especially when
many different types of bread can be
purchased at almost every store. Yet,
commercially made loaves are pale,
insignificant versions of the rich,
delicious bread you can create yourself
with a handy bread machine. Even
someone with the most hectic schedule
in the world has 5 minutes to load a
bread machine and set a timer to
produce hot, fragrant bread that is
ready to eat when you come through
the door at the end of the day. Cutting
the first slice of a new loaf—usually
while it is too warm—never loses its
magic, and the first bite is always
sublime.
This book will give you a basic
understanding of how ingredients
combine to produce bread and which
factors can create less-than-perfect
results. You will be introduced to a
collection of recipes that can be used,
for the most part, in 1-pound, 1½-
pound, and 2-pound bread machines.
These recipes can serve as your
foundation for new bread experiences
and allow you to experience all the fun
of serving homemade bread to friends
and family.
—Chapter One—
BAKING MADE
EASY
Bread machines are undeniably
convenient, and the bread that comes
out of them is just as delicious—if not
more so—than loaves you might find
in a high-end bakery. Does bread
machine bread look as gorgeously
formed? No, but if you can get past the
signature square edges and understand
the visual result might not be perfect,
you will probably never buy
commercially made bread again. Even
loaves that turn out slightly misshapen
or rise a little too high will taste
phenomenal dipped into soup or spread
with a little sweet butter.
If you love bread in all its variations,
from crusty French bread to moist
banana quick bread, and you are
willing to create bread without hands-
on work, this book will be perfect for
you. Discover new favorite recipes or
adapt the recipes you already use with
your own bread machine. Dive in and
start baking!
High Altitude
TROUBLESHOOTING
Your success making bread in a
bread machine can be affected by
many different factors, which means
a recipe that turns out a wonderful
loaf one day may not produce the
same loaf a week later. The bread
will probably still be delicious, but it
might not look exactly right. Here
are some common bread-making
issues:

Mozzarella is an often-underappreciated
cheese that is relegated to pizzas in most
North American restaurants. This fresh
cheese was traditionally made from water
buffalo milk and eaten a few hours after it
was made, rather than aged. Commercial
mozzarella in the supermarket is not true
mozzarella, but it still tastes delicious and
melts beautifully.
