Any opinions on Beth Hensperger's book, the Bread Bible? I used to
play around making breads many years past and want to dive in again. I
like messing around with recipes but also want to get a couple books
with a good variety of recipes. Once I get going again I can add on
but I would like something with some wide ranging offerings.

I looked at the faq and there are so many books that I don't really
have a clue where to start.

Thanks for any thoughts,
Betsy

I like her bread machine book, and I've heard great things about that
one, too. I'd give it a try.

Your local library. Don't buy anything until you have looked all
through the book and found at least 10 recipes you want to try.

I like _The Village Baker_ by Joe Ortiz.
