The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook

I especially like the Vienna Bread. I frequently adapt the recipes to sponge started recipes. FF

I really enjoy the book and have not been disappointed in the recipes and the techniques promulgated here. My favorite recipe for Whole Wheat bread is from this book.
