Title: Wasn't the best book for me to start with....
Review: I wanted to bake whole-grain bread, and bought this book first, as it came highly recommended. There was a lot of good information, but when I tried one of the recipes, I got a brick. This failure discouraged me from making bread for quite a while. Then I got a copy of "Breadtime" by Susan Cheney (which is entirely whole-grain breads). My first loaf turned out beautifully. The instructions and recipes from that book are what turned me from non-baker into a real breadmaker.
