People who have tasted fine artisan breads find that too many of the little shops that sold them have disappeared. And, they've no time to make them at home. In answer to that Jeffrey Hertzberg has devised a way of making artisan bread that is hardly more trouble than baking a potato. He came up with the basics: put together a large quantity of dough with his simplified method, store it in the refrigerator for as long as two or more weeks, take out a chunk when you want it, spend about five minutes shaping it, and put it in the oven. Restaurant chef Zoe Francois enriches the book by adding recipes for sumptuous baked desserts, all using the same simple time-saving method. This cookbook is truly a breakthrough in bread-making!

I've tried to make bread the traditional way before but always fought with the kneading process and the time it all took before putting it in the oven. Tried a bread maker - but this took a surprisingly long time to deliver a small spongy loaf, plus everything had to be timed so you'd be there to open the lid when it finished, otherwise it would go even more spongy!
When I saw this book I hoped it was as good as its title, have tried the master recipe and it works - the loaf was tasty, fragrant and crusty. The bagels are yummy, I'm looking forward to trying more recipes. The time saved is great - and the longer you leave your dough the more 'sourdough' type flavour develops which makes it more tasty. The only negatives I found were the loaves can be a bit on the small size, and the amount of water in the recipes has to be just so, as it will affect your loaf.
Overall a brilliant book - time saving, and well worth the investment !

Just in case others make the same mistake as I do.....I already have the book Five Minute Bread by these authors and loved it. I thought that this would be more of the same style recipes so I ordered it. Unfortunately it turned out to be the exact same book as Five Minute Bread except that this one only has American cup measurements whilst the Five Minute Bread book has grams and ounces for us Brits. The ISBNs are different as are the titles so there is no reason to think they are the same book. What a waste of time and and energy. 5 stars for the book - the recipes are fab and it has revolutionised my breadmaking as I am no longer chained ot my breadmaker - but 1 star for lack of information on Amazon site about both books being the same. I'll mark it as one star so hopefully people are more likely to read this than a 5 star glowing review!Five Minute Bread: The revolutionary new baking method: no bread machine, no kneading!is the other book. I'd say go for this one if you prefer to measure by weight than by volume.

I have been making my own bread for around 2 years I'd got quite good at it and my bread tasted really good. Making good bread is hard since you can only get a feel for whats right with the dough, the proving, the oven temperature, the cooking time etc from a lot of practice and mistakes! It also takes a long time to prepare with double proving etc, which is why I thought I'd give this book a go.
I am stunned by the simplicity, the preperation time the proving time. The basic recipe is really easy to follow and, for a change, produces an absolutely fantastic loaf without any of the practice I have talked about above.
The only downside is finding room in the fridge and you have to read maybe 20 pages of well written text (there's not much text on a page) to understand what you are doing.
If you have a passion for making bread or sick of the supemarket cardboard then I can't recommend it enough. You will also find that it will save you money since producing your own bread costs approximately 50% less. It tastes so good though you may find you will eat twice as much!!!

I want to be able to bake bread but........
I don't know what went wrong, but I suspect the water was too hot and killed off the yeast, and my loaves didn't rise and the result was a heavy, doughy lump. Read more
