I am looking for bread books, and will certainly give the Bread Bible a try. Does it have a lot of wheat recipes?

jenniesue 2 years, 10 months ago said: whole grain bread books The new king arthur whole grain book has lots of yummy bread recipes. I haven't made any of the yeasted breads yet; but I have made a number of different recipes and I've been happy with all of them. My husband uses Bread Alone by danial leader. The recipes are mostly for refined flour and they take time, but the bread is fantastic. The Tassajara bread book that 10gallonhat mentioned is good as well. I haven't used it in a while, but I think it has plenty of whole wheat recipes.

It has been a faithful companion to me as I've had to take it out of the library a few times. The basic bread recipe is excellent for anyone just getting started.
Unfortunately, due to time restraints, I now use a bread machine, but learning how to bake a loaf of whole wheat bread by hand is a very fulfilling experience. (At least, it was for me!)

The first section of the book (about 100 pages) is nothing but information about bread baking. I learned so much from this section! And the recipes are incredible! They do take time so this isn't a book for those who want to bake bread quickly. Most recipes have you make a starter the day before then make the bread the next day. But it's oh-so worth it!!
I recently made bagels and Kaiser rolls from the book. check out my blog from mid Feb to see my pictures of the finished products.

I'd appreciate any tips.

Not only are the recipes unusual but every single one that I have made has come out perfectly. Book came out in 1991 so it might not be too difficult to find.

The idea is that you make the doughs in your machine, then you form them into rustic loaves by hand and bake in your oven. It covers making and using starters, too. I've made delicious french breads and ciabattas, amazing crusty rolls, etc.

I learned so much for this book.I recommend it to anyone who wants to know about bread making and it has great recipe. I have been looking for something similar for the bread machine. I bought and was given lots of bread machine books but never found one that inspired me like that one. Happy baking!
