Make Ahead Bread: 100 Recipes for Melt-in-Your-Mouth Fresh Bread Every Day by Donna Currie, Donna Currie

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for review.
I love this book! Descriptive in the right places and the recipes worked out great! After downloading this book and reading the first few pages, I grabbed my purse and ran to the grocery store. Over a few days, I made two of the loaves. I may make more, but my family is threatening to take away my dough hook.
The first one I tried was the three cheese bread with kalamata olives. It seemed slightly oily at first, but I'm pretty sure this was due to leaving the cheeses in large chunks. So yummy. Even my 10 year old loved it. My only changes for next time will be to add smaller pieces of the add-ins.
Since these are make-ahead, I prepped my second loaf the next day while the first one cooked. My second choice to try was the bacon, cheddar, and tomato loaf. I chose to cut the add-ins much smaller this time. My ninja blender made quick work of the sun-dried tomatoes and bacon. The loaf turned out beautifully with a nice dark crust. The tomatoes and bacon were well distributed throughout the loaf. We had spaghetti last night and this was great alongside the plain sauce.
I really enjoyed this book and plan to add it to my (very small) cookbook library.
