Can anyone recommend a bread machine cookbook?

Desired traits:

* measure by weight
* lots of whole-grain recipes

We picked up a used Welbilt bread machine and would like to use it more.

I have a few, when I get back from town I'll take a look at them and see if any might be what you need.

I have:
Bread Machine Magic by Rehberg and Conway.
Pros: Lots of whole grain recipes, and has three sizes of loaf. I haven't had anything unsuccessful out of it yet. Good book.
Cons: Volume measure, no weights.

Rustic European Breads from your Bread Machine by Eckhardt and Butts
Pros: Lots of interesting stuff here. We have liked the few things we have tried.
Cons: Expensive for a glorified hardcover photocopy. Volume, no weights. Almost everything starts in the breadmaker and finishes outside.

Those that I would recommend you take a look at:

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
The Artisan Bread Machine
Whole Grain Breads by machine or hand

Unfortunately, none of these use measures by weight.

King Arthur Flour is about the only source that I know of that gives the option of volume, ounces
or grams. Their recipes almost always have options for use of a bread machine and are well-tested and reviewed.

Linda, Lisa,

Thanks!

We found a bread machine cookbook at the library, too. We'll try some of these out.

Josh, I seem to remember that this one was recommended in TOBB.

Worldwide Sourdoughs From Your Bread Machine -- Ed Wood and Donna Rathmell German, published by Nitty Gritty Cookbooks.

Doesn't have weights (I just pencil in the weights from KA on any recipes from this book that I make.), but the breads are great, particularly the Light Swedish Limpa.

Also, I don't think Ed likes Donna too much, or at least he's not too fond of her recipes, so that's hilarious.

JB,

Will look, although the Nitty Gritties are increasingly hard to find in used bookstores. Their paper quality was low, and most are falling apart now.
