Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking
By Jeff Hertzberg MD, Zoe Francois
Thomas Dunne Books - 2007
Being a bread lover, I was intrigued with their claim that you could produce a delicious loaf of bread in just a few minutes each day - the kicker, of course, is that you mix up 4 loaves at a time, put them in the frig and then just pull them out and let them raise (5 minutes a day is a bit deceptive and it only refers to the actual working time - not raising or baking). But even so - this is a great way to have fresh bread every day (I put the book away because it is too easy a way to have fresh bread every day). I did find however, that while the basic recipes worked really well, some of the speciality breads were a bit disappointing.
