The Panera Bread Cookbook: Breadmaking Essentials and Recipes from America's Favorite Bakery-Cafe

Great recipes. I especially liked the sour dough starter. I bought the book for my sister, and now it's on my Kindle!

I tried several of the recipes and got excellent results for the most part. The text also provided interesting background information and a bit of history of the art of breadmaking. I shared the info and bread that I'd made with quite a few people, some I knew well and others I became acquainted with, so it ended up being way more than just an interesting book to read! I may never attempt the tricky appetizers but the basic bread, i could handle.

This recipe book has a lot of Panera specialties in it, but it also has a lot of extra recipes which seem like they would fit perfectly in the store. It includes almost all of the breads people go there to buy, so this book is great if you love their bread products and want to save a few bucks by making it yourself.

I purchased this item as a gift, so I haven't made extensive use of it personally, but I thumbed through the pages a bit before wrapping.. all around, it seemed to be a solid cookbook and exactly what I thought it would be - a cookbook to help you recreate delicious Panera dishes at home! I'm now considering purchasing one for myself as well!

Who doesn't love Panera?!! The only drawback is that some of the recipes are very time consuming. I would still recommend this if you are a Panera lover who wants to make the same food at home!

which I really liked. This cookbook has that recipe in it so now I can make my own!

Good thoughts for a book, but lacked the photos and information to make me want to make things out of the book. If you are looking for the Panera foods now offered in the restaurant now, you most likely will not be able to find them as this is an older book with long ago food.

The recipes were great, but too many things to do with bread once it was made and not enough bread recipes.

I should have used the 'look inside' feature: this book is one third bread recipes and two thirds sandwich recipes. That's fine if that's what you want (although I'm not convinced that anyone needs sandwich recipes). Might be of interest to US readers hooked on Panera cafés. It's also entirely US measurements.

this book has many great recipes. it also has lots of pics in the middle of the book, but i prefer pics shown with every individual recipe.http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/140008041X/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title
