The Bread Machine Book

The Bread Machine Book is a modern, everything-you-need-to-know guide to baking perfect bread with a machine at home. Veteran cookbook author Lukas Volger offers a thorough guide to the versatile world of bread machines. You'll learn how to buy one, use one and utilize different ingredients and techniques to make your creations sing. Additionally, the 75 recipes can be made in any bread machine you have at home, including Buttery Brioche, Honey-Barley Milk Bread, Matcha Ricotta Tea Cake and much more. Each recipe contains a "faster" and a "slower" method. The fast utilizes the machine’s presets, while the slower isolates the kneading and the baking functions to create bread with more developed flavor and better structure for not much extra work. With comprehensive but easy-to-digest tips for success—including measuring methods, temperature targets, machine and visual cues to look for, and opportunities for hijacking your bread machine to knead and proof dough to be baked in your oven—this is the only book you need to bring easy, fail-proof loaves to the table every day. Lukas Volger is a cookbook author, recipe developer, and entrepreneur in the food space. He’s written five previous cookbooks, including Bowl and Start Simple, and his work has been featured in the New York Times, Bon Appétit, The Wall Street Journal and more.
