Summary: Country Rustic Bread
Review: I found that the recipe was a little off. The recipe called for 2 1/4- 3 1/4 cups of bread flour. I found that I had to use almost 5 cups before the dough was not sticky anymore. What am I doing wrong?

Summary: An excellent book for first time and experienced bread baker
Review: My wife and daughter have baked six different breads (several times each) from this book and in every case the breads have been outstanding. They as bakers and I as a consumer are more than thrilled. We also agree that the book is profusely illustrated (wish more cook books were done as well), and instructions are easy to follow.

Summary: A versatile bread book
Review: This is an excellent bread book with a number of recipes that I've tried and been very happy with, and there are many more that I hope to try in the future. It's easy to use, practical, fun, and covers a large variety of bread types. A reviewer was disappointed with how the sourdough and pumpernickel (rye bread) turned out--these are two of the hardest kinds of bread to get to turn out, and may have as much to do with experience as the recipe used.
