 Rating:  - Incredible! Dare I say life-changing?I'm not a frequent reviewer, but this book is so amazing I can't help myself. I bought it on recommendation of a friend and then realized my 4-cup food processor was too small, so it sat on my shelf for half a year or so. Then my friend had me over and we did a few recipes together and I was totally sold! I went out that very day and bought the biggest Cuisinart there is and haven't looked back. The pizza dough recipe means we haven't bought pizza in a very long time. The 'best bread ever' recipe means I've stopped buying bakery french loaves and baguettes (because now mine are better!). All this was great, but last night I tried the challah and WOW! I spent less than 5 minutes doing ALL the prep and mixing. It proofed, I made the loaves (again, a few minutes max) and the result was stunning and absolutely delicious. The book is very technical and at first that was off-putting since it sounded complicated. But once you've tried a few times and learned the technique it's about 500 times simpler than normal bread making. I can't say enough good things about this book. It now lives on my cookbook stand on my counter since I use it to make bread or pizza crust at least every other day. Perhaps the best part is that it really takes an incredibly short time to get this proofing. Since the bread mixes for only 45 seconds you basically just have to get all the ingredients out and you're ready to be done baking for the day. 5-10 minutes total work for you and you've got fresh bread--hey it takes longer than that to get to a bakery to buy it! A large food processor may seem like a big investment, but I bet I've already broken even on money I would have spent on fresh bread and pizza. Buy this, you'll never look back! Rating:  - Ready to PurchaseI am a new owner of a KitchenAid 12-cup food processor, and have only baked bread from scratch twice in my 46 years. But, wondering if an old dog could learn a new trick, I went searching on the web for bread recipes I could make in a FP. I found the author's recipe for bagels on Recipelink, and decided to give it a try. Because I know nearly nothing about baking, I was a little nervous, certain I would burn out the motor on my new food processor. But as I worked my way through the recipe, I gained more and more confidence. With my handy instant read thermometer and the author's detailed instructions, I actually felt in control at times - something that happens rarely for me in the kitchen :-) Well, I'm happy to report that I just ate my first bagel. Although not perfect, it is definitely edible - even good - and it almost looks like I knew what I was doing. Based on this experience, I am purchasing a copy of this book and look forward to learning more about the author's technique. I'm rating it 4 now based on my experience, and will return after receiving the book to adjust my rating if needed. Rating: - Truly the Best EverThe Best Bread Ever recipe worked perfectly the first time and every time since. I expected a period of trial and error, but got golden brown, delicious baguettes with a crackly crust and soft crumb on our first attempt. When the easy way produces better results than the traditional laborious way it seems too good to be true. Abandon your stand mixer or hand work and buy a processor just for this. Rating:  - BreadsThe book is out of print and, thinking that it contained information and a way of baking that is more simplified, I paid an arm and a leg for the book. There is nothing wrong with the book per se, but I am experiencing the same results from current bread making books that incorporate a food processor..My advice...don't spend anymore for this out of print book than you would for a current book.
