Product Description
A breakthrough bread book by the unchallenged expert in gluten-free and wheat-free cooking
In Bette Hagman's three earlier cookbooks, she worked with gluten-free flours that are safe for celiacs (those who are intolerant to gluten) and for those with wheat allergies to create recipes for great- tasting food. Knowing from her own hard-earned experience that bread is the greatest loss for those who can't eat wheat, oats, rye, or barley, she has experimented with exciting new bean-based flours and has devoted an entire book to breads. Here are yeast breads, yeast-free breads, muffins, rolls, buns, breakfast breads, and crackers-a vast array of recipes for the oven or the bread machine-for people who cannot buy breads at a bakery or supermarket but must rely on their own kitchens to provide the staff of life.
Along with dozens of great recipes are: a beginner's guide to understanding and cooking with gluten-free flours; answers to commonly asked questions about baking with these flours; and a source list of where to buy gluten-free baking supplies.

 Not so gourmet December 24, 2008
I was disappointed with this book. Many of her breads call for use of unflavored gelatin which gives the loaves a springy texture which works right out of the oven but makes for a gross, hard consistency once cooled (kind of like cold chicken fat - EW!) I have had much more luck with Rebecca Reilly's recipes. I find them more sophisticated, less 1950's inspired. Also, Living Without Magazine featured a great bread recipe in their November 08 issue. This woman has posted the recipe with step-by-step photos on her blog: [...]
 Great cookbook November 12, 2008
I have made my first loaf of bread with one of the recipes in this book. It was delicious. I am looking forward to making other items in the book.
Holt should know better October 29, 2008

This book is not recommended for so many reasons. I wish that I had returned it within the time allowed. It has no table of contents. The information in it is poorly organized, vague, and in many ways, out of touch with allergy problems. There are sections of appetizing lists of better sounding recipes which are only references from other books by the author and are not in the book at all.
I bought all the ingredients at a staggering sum and made the basic flour and a basic bread. It looked beautiful! It sank like a Souffle. It tasted weird, made me sick, and turned into a glue like lump. I was surprised that the raccoons ate it. I have since found wonderful recipes online and much much better writing about allergy alternatives including the economic and practical option of making my own rice flour. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy this woman's books. Aside from learning to live with celiac, her knowledge of food is like something out of 1950's Betty Crocker. Don't get depressed allergy sufferers. There's far better resources!
Awesome Real Bread September 23, 2008
The bagels are so good, even my gluten-eating children want them. This is the closest to the real thing that I've seen or made. Well worth the time.
My 1st Successful GF Loaf August 23, 2008
I'm new to baking bread, and especially new to GF. We're not celiac's, but DS has a mild wheat allergy. Doc says he can have gluten periodically, but it would be best to avoid it when possible. I've tried a few store bought loaves, none of which he really liked. And I've tried a few misc recipes here & there, but they all flopped terribly. Using Bette's Four Flour Bread recipe in this book, I made my first successful loaf today. It wasn't perfect, but it was edible and tasted pretty good.
