“While you will not find this in your bread machine manual, it is a good idea to periodically oil your bread pans kneading shaft(s). This helps keep it moving freely, it helps kill any rust that may have formed and it will even help make the machine run quieter.”

Like the other volumes, this includes an extensive section at the beginning with hints on using bread machines and on how various ingredients affect the bread. The sections are: white breads; fruit and vegetable breads; herb breads; multi-grain breads; and dough cycle breads (rolls, buns, pizza, monkey bread, pita pockets, that sort of thing).

This installment focuses on “whole grains & natural sugars”. None of the recipes use white flour or processed sugar but instead a lot of whole wheat and rye, a bit of oatmeal and cornmeal, and a smattering of lesser-known flours such as quinoa or 7/9/12-grain mixes. Sweetening is added using honey and maple syrup, as well as “fruit juice concentrate”, maple/date sugars, and occasionally actual fruit. (Donna Rathmell German)
