Betsy's Breads

"BETSY'S BREADS" by nationally known baking instructor Betsy Oppenneer features 30 of her favorite bread recipes. Betsy is a Certified Culinary Professional under the auspice of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. While not a direct teaching tool, the book features at least two recipes for each of over twenty flours, grains, & seeds. Loaves & baguettes, brioche, rolls & buns, bread sticks, pizza, focaccia & sweet breads are covered. In keeping with today's increased health emphasis, most recipes in "BETSY'S BREADS" offer higher fiber & lower fat & sugar than comparable recipes found elsewhere. Interesting combinations such as 10-Grain Orange Bread, Cinnamon-Raisin-Pumpernickel Bread & Maple-Wheat Berry Bread are found throughout this book. The beginner has not been forgotten, though. Among recipes for basic breads, Betsy includes recipes such as Cracked Wheat Bread & Italian Bread. The book contains more baking opportunities than the number 30 suggests. For instance, in the pizza recipe section, Betsy provides a single recipe but offers help in converting it to both Mexican & Greek style pizzas. Fifteen optional toppings are listed. Targeted to teens & adults, both seasoned home bread bakers & beginners will find interesting & fun recipes in "BETSY'S BREADS."Oppenneer, Betsy is the author of 'Betsy's Breads' with ISBN 9780962766527 and ISBN 0962766526.
