Cookbook #30:<\/strong> The Bread Machine Cookbook II<\/em>. Donna Rathmell German. Bristol Publishing Enterprises, San Leandro, CA, 1991. (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks)<\/p>\n

\"Bread<\/a>This is a great little cookbook for anyone who has a bread machine. When I first started using a bread machine, I learned as much from this book as I did from the instruction manuals that came with the machine. The first chapters have straightforward instructions and questions and answers about what to watch out for when using a bread machine to make yeast breads; the rest of the pages are recipes for over 100 different breads. This cookbook is especially helpful for making bread from many different types of flours and grains. I am glad that I re-discovered this book for my 250 Cookbooks project!<\/p>\n

I cover bread machine basics in my recipe for “My Daily Bread<\/a>“. Just so you know: I use the machine to knead and rise my yeast breads, and then bake them in a conventional oven.<\/p>\n

I decided to try “Rye Beer Bread”. This particular recipe is half rye flour; my old favorite recipe is only one-third rye flour. That fact and the addition of beer should give this bread a nice flavor and hearty texture. I’m adding caraway seeds too \u2013 what’s a rye bread without caraway seeds?!<\/p>\n

\"Rye<\/a>Note how the above recipe simply gives the amounts for different sizes of loaves; I usually begin with about 1 cup of liquid so I chose the middle size. Instructions for using the machine are given in the introductory pages of The Bread Machine Cookbook II<\/em> and are not repeated in each recipe. The version below indicates how I adapted the recipe for the way I always make bread.<\/p>\n
