Description
From "The Bread Machine Cookbook" (1991) by Donna Rathmell German. This is a classic cookbook (see below for the updated version link). I've made at least a dozen recipes from this cookbook for bread machines. Although it doesn't have images, it does have reliable recipes. It's a keeper.
