Up In Smoke

I have pretty much never really baked bread. (bread machine boy here)
i have been looking at some of the books out there and see several that call themselves
the bread bible.
Which one would be a good place for a beginner??

Some people are like Slinkies... They're really good for nothing.
...But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

If you want to do just bread I would recommend The Bread Bakers Apprentice by Peter Reinhart.  It is great for a beginner - lots of pictures & instruction.   

If you want to a general baking cookbook - bread, cookies, muffins, pies, etc I would recommend King Arthur Flour Baking Companion.

In the meantime, you can try Hab's Cuban Bread recipe.  It's gooooood.

Hi Up in Smoke :)
I have the William Sonoma Bread Cookbook which is not a huge book but has all the basic recipes and clear instructions.
I love it,
Carolyn
