4☆ An Educational and Delicious No Knead, Bread Recipe Book Bittman Bread is a delicious cook book that teaches readers the art of making healthy Whole-Grain Breads without the need to Knead!

We love making bread in our house and love coming down to the smell of a freshly baked Loaf, but we use a bread machine。I'm always on the lookout for new ideas and new recipes。 The idea of a No Knead bread really intrigues me。 I have rheumatoid arthritis and kneading is a no, no for me, hence the bread machine。 Ok so basically the whole concept of this book is to start by making a Sourdough Starter。Now I've never made sourdough before and although this book gives you a very detailed account of what to do and when to do it, the whole process does seem rather time consuming。 But I guess all good things come to those who wait! The ingredients are measured in cup sizes and Grams so you might need to convert over to a metric your used to using。 All the recipes in this book start with a Sourdough Starter。Bittman Bread is a very informative book and gives the reader loads of useful information, to really help you become confident and understanding of the process。 Ie, Natural Fermentation, About Gluten, about Grains and Flours。There is a variety of recipes included in the book, and most are beautifully illustrated and have step by step guides。 I really enjoyed reading this book, if your looking for just a bread recipe book then this book might not be for you, as it really does go into great length to educate。But if you are looking for a book that teaches you from start to finish all about the process of the No Knead Bread then you will love this book! Thank you to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Netgalley for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily。 。。。more

A great little book to get you started baking bread with whole grains。 I'm a big fan of the author, and this latest book just reinforces my admiration of him。 In the beginning, you will learn to make your own starter。 Then, using that starter, you can learn to make all kinds of breads。 Pizza, flatbreads, rolls, and on and on。 Full of easy to understand instructions and good photographs that will help you along。 I spent two weekends with my wife and son experimenting with these recipes。 Together A great little book to get you started baking bread with whole grains。 I'm a big fan of the author, and this latest book just reinforces my admiration of him。 In the beginning, you will learn to make your own starter。 Then, using that starter, you can learn to make all kinds of breads。 Pizza, flatbreads, rolls, and on and on。 Full of easy to understand instructions and good photographs that will help you along。 I spent two weekends with my wife and son experimenting with these recipes。 Together we made a basic bread, and cinnamon rolls。 The second weekend we made delicious waffles and pretzels!

This is a great cookbook filled with all kinds of recipes for whole grain, sourdough, no-knead breads。 Colorful photos accompany the recipes and they're simple and sound delicious。 While some no-knead bread cookbooks offer gluten free recipes, this one does not provide any GF breads so it's not a book I can test in our kitchen。 No nutritional information is provided。 There is a huge range of recipes though, including nontraditional sourdough no-knead items。 Well recommended。I read a temporary di This is a great cookbook filled with all kinds of recipes for whole grain, sourdough, no-knead breads。 Colorful photos accompany the recipes and they're simple and sound delicious。 While some no-knead bread cookbooks offer gluten free recipes, this one does not provide any GF breads so it's not a book I can test in our kitchen。 No nutritional information is provided。 There is a huge range of recipes though, including nontraditional sourdough no-knead items。 Well recommended。I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review。 。。。more

For over twenty years I’ve baked all of our loaf bread, English muffins, flatbreads and more using a potato flake starter。 I’ve stuck with that simplistic, easy to maintain starter for so long simply because I’ve always thought a traditional sourdough starter would be too labor-intensive, messy, and needy。After reading “Bittman Bread” cover to cover, I think I’m ready to make a change。 I know there will be a learning curve, and possibly a few odd-but-edible loaves of bread in my future, but I fe For over twenty years I’ve baked all of our loaf bread, English muffins, flatbreads and more using a potato flake starter。 I’ve stuck with that simplistic, easy to maintain starter for so long simply because I’ve always thought a traditional sourdough starter would be too labor-intensive, messy, and needy。After reading “Bittman Bread” cover to cover, I think I’m ready to make a change。 I know there will be a learning curve, and possibly a few odd-but-edible loaves of bread in my future, but I feel I’ve found a good mentor and teacher to help wean me off the potato flakes and show me what real sourdough is all about。 Can’t wait to get started!My thanks to authors Mark Bittman and Kerri Conan, NetGalley, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for allowing me to read a digital advance review copy of this book。 This review is my honest and unbiased opinion。 。。。more

Bittman’s cookbooks are always a fun read。 Bittman Bread is written with co- author Kerri Conan and is focused on baking the perfect 100% whole grain loaf。 I could have really made use of this book a year ago when we all went into quarantine and so many of us succumbed to the smell of freshly baked bread, that is, until we ran out of flour。 Bittman and Conan walk bakers through the two essential elements to mastering the best homemade bread with the creation of anatural starter ( sourdough) and Bittman’s cookbooks are always a fun read。 Bittman Bread is written with co- author Kerri Conan and is focused on baking the perfect 100% whole grain loaf。 I could have really made use of this book a year ago when we all went into quarantine and so many of us succumbed to the smell of freshly baked bread, that is, until we ran out of flour。 Bittman and Conan walk bakers through the two essential elements to mastering the best homemade bread with the creation of anatural starter ( sourdough) and using “ real” whole grains。 Included are also recipes for pizza dough, flatbreads, rolls, and a few sweet doughs。 Baking by weight vs volume is explained for those who do not have access to a scale, (but for most bread bakers, weight is really the only acceptable measure。)Essential reading for serious bread bakers。 。。。more

#BittmanBread #NetGalleyI've followed Mark Bittman for quite a few years and he hasn't steered me wrong yet。 I was so excited to see this book since I haven't mastered bread as best as I would like。 It's all edible of course, but I'm left with doubts more often than not。 Also having some issues digesting bread (thank you, new decade of life), I'm also not sure what I can process or not but I appreciated his note on gluten and how he breaks down the bake step by step, providing the science behind #BittmanBread #NetGalleyI've followed Mark Bittman for quite a few years and he hasn't steered me wrong yet。 I was so excited to see this book since I haven't mastered bread as best as I would like。 It's all edible of course, but I'm left with doubts more often than not。 Also having some issues digesting bread (thank you, new decade of life), I'm also not sure what I can process or not but I appreciated his note on gluten and how he breaks down the bake step by step, providing the science behind it。 It's such a great resource and I'm excited to start a self-experimentation with self-made bread through the Bittman Bread reference book。 。。。more

I've read many cookbooks and recently cookbooks on baking bread。 This book offers something different than the others that I have read in the past。 Many bread books bog you down with lots of technical information it can seem overwhelming。 Mark Bittman has taken a different approach in writing this book as well as how he created the recipes。 He as taken many of the pitfalls out of sourdough bread baking and streamlined the process。 If the reader is interested in diving deeper in a particular area I've read many cookbooks and recently cookbooks on baking bread。 This book offers something different than the others that I have read in the past。 Many bread books bog you down with lots of technical information it can seem overwhelming。 Mark Bittman has taken a different approach in writing this book as well as how he created the recipes。 He as taken many of the pitfalls out of sourdough bread baking and streamlined the process。 If the reader is interested in diving deeper in a particular area, he has information available。 The photography is well produced and makes the steps easy to understand and execute。Owning many books on bread, I appreciate that he offers other recipes such as sandwich breads and sweet breads。 This is a true baker's book as all of the recipes are in grams (most accurate way of measuring ingredients)。 He does offer a conversion chart for bakers that want to use volume measurements。 I'm looking forward to adding this title to my collection。 。。。more

The simplest, least fussy, most flexible way to make bread really is the best。 Beginning with a wholesome, flavorful no-knead loaf (that also happens to set you up with a sourdough starter for next time), this book features a bounty of simple, adaptable recipes for every taste, any grain—including baguettes, hearty seeded loaves, sandwich bread, soft pretzels, cinnamon rolls, focaccia, pizza, waffles, and much more。 At the foundation, Mark and Kerri offer a method that works with your schedule, a starter that’s virtually indestructible, and all the essential information and personal insights you need to make great bread。If anyone is going to write a book about bread, it should be Mark Bittman as he manages to master everything he sets out to do。 The recipes are well written and will be understandable by bakers of all levels - I kind of love kneading bread (it is repetitive and stress-reducing) but that is me。 This book, along with a bread machine would make a wonderful Christmas or wedding gift: wrap it in tea towels and they will thank you forever。 And if they are NOT kitchen equipment kind of people, they will appreciate some loaf pans!As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I simply adore emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube Millionaires/snowflakes / literally-like-overusers etc。 " on Instagram and Twitter。。。 Get a real job, people!) so let's give it 🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨 。。。more

I fell in love with the original no knead bread made in an enameled cast iron pot。 But I really wanted something healthier and still simple to make。 enter this book and I’ve got my heart’s。 desire!The instructions are easy to follow and make。 I’ve expanded my bread repertoire with this book and can’t wait to show off whole grain breads at our next family gathering。
