Artisan Bread In Five Minutes A Day
Ah, bread. For me, it needs to be crusty on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside. But, other than using my bread maker, I haven't ventured too far into the art of bread making. I've always been intimidated by the work and time involved. So, I was thrilled when I found the book Artisan Bread In Five Minutes A Day, by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois.
Their techniques revolutionize the art of bread making. With a little prep work at the beginning of a week, you can have fresh artisan quality bread every day in just a 5 minutes (not including baking time). Seems too good to be true, no? I bought the book and gave it a try.I made the master recipe dough with a mix of herbs on Saturday night before I went to bed. I baked my first loaf on Sunday afternoon. According to the book, the longer the dough sits, the more flavourful it will become. I can't wait to try another loaf.
I think the first loaf turned out pretty well. What do you think?

The bread turned out really fantastic! It looks better than the so-called artisan breads available in groceries. Great job!
Wow, beautiful bread, bet it tastes super delish :)
Now that looks like pure culinary perfection. My mouth is watering.
beautiful bread! Is the dough that white in reality too?
That is a positively gorgeous loaf! Thank you so much for trying the bread and sharing it with all of your readers.
Please check out all of our ideas for the bread that didn't make it in the book at www.artisanbreadinfive.com. There is also an errata sheet that you will want to print out, which can also be found at www.zoebakes.com.
Enjoy all the bread! Zoë
