We returned to our copy this Thanksgiving to make the excellent Bread Machine Basic White Bread (which they call Pan de Mie) for leftover turkey sandwiches and were again impressed by the creativity of the recipes. And we discovered that there’s an updated version released in 2015 that is available on Amazon. (affiliate link!) There are at least some new recipes so no reason not to get this rather than the original 1991 edition.
Reviewers on Amazon complain about the fact that many (maybe more than half) of the recipes start in the bread machine but end up in the oven. In fact, that’s evidence of its creativity. They use the bread machine to mix the indgredients and for the first rise. Then you punch down the dough and proceed to shape it. If you already have the bread machine on your counter, this process is a lot more tidy than hauling out the Kitchenaid though you need to restrict loaf size to 2 lbs or under. Check it out.
