Cool Breads & Biscuits: Easy & Fun Comfort Food

Homemade bread is fresh, delicious, and it smells great too.” This useful title provides directions for baking eight different scrumptious-looking breads and rolls. The introduction points out the benefits of cooking from scratch: control over the method of preparation, using ingredients that are flavorful and healthy, plus the enjoyment of sharing what you’ve made with others. A spread then offers “The Basics,” including safety and hygiene reminders, followed by photo-illustrated inventories of cooking terms, tools, and ingredients. The recipes are delineated in clear, numbered steps, and tempting color photographs show the finished products as well as several stages along the way. The baked goods have kid appeal and, while relatively simple to make, still feel special, such as a calzone-style pepperoni pizza bread and molasses bread baked in a can. Front matter lists a key to safety symbols used, and back matter contains a conclusion, link to publisher-selected Web sites, glossary, and index.
