This is a great step-by-step intro to bread baking. The book first describes the standard ingredients in bread baking. Then describes the technigues that are commonly used. Then, common mistakes to look for and how to correct them. The recipes are great! It starts off with a basic bread loaf (very simple but delicious). Each recipe has step by step instructions with pictures for every step (so you know if what you have is what it's supposed to look like) and tips along the way. The Bacon & Cheese Potato Bread is in my review picture and it turned out wonderful. Very easy to make. --Kelly

This book was a gift to my husband in the hope that he would stop making such a fuss and a mess of trying to bake his own bread. Well it worked, the book is so well written and there are so many tips and ideas that have helped enormously. I would highly recommend this one. --KathyP
