The Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, by Jeff Hertzberg M.D. and Zoe Francois is by far one of the best bread books out there today. How do I know? Well we have been baking mouth watering fresh bread for almost a year now. So much so that my mother-in-law picked up their new book for me called Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day, as a subtle hint that she would like to me to try making some breads with whole grains, fruits, vegetables nuts and seeds. The Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day also makes a great Christmas present as chances are you will end up getting fresh bread out it!
What make these books so great is that the recipes are so easy that your kids can make the bread with a little help from their parents. The secret is you mix the ingredients from their recipe into a container all at once, and then you let them sit for 2 hours. No Kneading necessary! Now you are ready to shape and bake the bread, or you can refrigerate the dough and use it over the next couple of weeks All that is left to do is take a piece of dough from the container, shape it into a loaf. Let it rise for 20 mins or more and then bake. Let me tell you there is nothing like the smell of fresh bread baking! All it takes is five minutes a day to prepare and water, salt, flour, yeast and water.
