COPY ISBN
An updated edition of the 2009 book Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day, this latest by Hertzberg concentrates on quick yet healthy recipes that use whole grain flour and oil instead of white flour and margarine or butter. The introductory chapters offer advice on ingredients, equipment, tips, and techniques, while the rest of the book is divided into chapters by type of bread: whole grain, those with fruits and vegetables, pizza and flatbreads, and gluten-free breads and pastries. Most recipes recommend the use of vital wheat gluten to make bread less dense. Although there is one page for each recipe, helpfully situated in a box format with columns for ingredient, volume, and U.S. and metric weight, avid home chefs may miss the anecdotes and personal writing of some cookbooks.
VERDICT Recommended for public libraries that have users interested in the latest ideas of bread baking. [For more baking ideas, see "Our Just Desserts," Collection Development, LJ 9/1/16, p. 44–46.—Ed.]
