Is it worth it?
If you've cut out bread and still think about it every time you pass a bakery, that's the itch this is for. Maybe toast leaves you bloated, maybe a doctor told you to drop gluten, maybe you just want to lose weight without giving up sandwiches forever. Bessere Brote is a German language recipe ebook by Kelley Herring, 25 breads made without wheat flour: rolls, flatbreads, loaves, pizza bases. Day to day you download it, pick one, bake. No bread machine or sourdough starter needed for this style of baking, which matters if you're not really a baker. The title promises quick, though the page shows no timings and no sample recipe, so you are trusting that part. The sales page is a very different animal from the book itself. It opens with five lies about bread, calls whole grains some of the unhealthiest food you can eat, and quotes Dr. William Davis calling wheat a perfect chronic poison. Those are the seller's claims, offered without evidence, and you don't have to buy any of them for the recipes to be worth having. Judge it as what it is: a small collection of grain free baking recipes for someone who misses bread. If two or three become regulars in your kitchen, it has paid for itself. Don't expect it to fix a health condition on its own.
Pros
- Small, focused recipe set, not a whole diet programme
- No bread machine, starter or special kit needed
- One off payment, nothing recurring
- Still useful if you ignore the grain theory entirely
Cons
- Sales page is mostly scare story, with no sample recipe, photo or timing
- Claims about whole grains being harmful are asserted, not backed with evidence on the page
- German only, and nut and seed flours cost noticeably more than wheat flour
What you get
A German language recipe ebook, 25 gluten free breads from Kelley Herring, built around alternatives to wheat flour like nut and seed meals. Expect rolls, flatbreads, loaves and pizza style bases with ingredient lists and method. It also carries a long opening argument about why grains are bad for you. It is a download, not a printed book. The page does not state page count or list bonus files.
Before you buy
- Check the price, file format and refund window at checkout, since the page states none of them
- Confirm you read German comfortably and that a digital download suits you
- If you have coeliac disease, price up and check the flours yourself for certified gluten free sourcing
Who it suits
Someone off wheat by choice or on advice, happy to cook a bit, who misses bread
