5.0 out of 5 stars prepare to become obsessed! 5 Jan 2012
By katiecom
Format:Hardcover
I have never mastered the art of bread making - it seemed too long, complicated and laborious. I have stuck to making the odd batch of soda bread (an instant bread) and buying rubbish shop white-sliced. However re-reading the list of ingredients in packaged bread gave me fresh determination and I felt that there must be a better way! There is! I came across this book by chance in a bookshop and with no space for a breadmaker it seemed like a good idea, although I was skeptical. I am not a baker and not even a very good cook - but my first loaf was good enough for me to be very excited! It was so easy and so quick. I soon started experimenting with the different recipes and soon learnt the importance of quality fresh flour.
I have not bought bread in over 2 months now and we always have a loaf on the go. I would say that the bread is much better once cooled, it keeps for several days in the fridge (although its always eaten within 3 days in my house). The basic dough can also be used for pizza bases which taste great. The recipes are easy to play around with - adding vegtables, dried fruit, herbs etc... I have converted many friends and family members who were initially very cynical.
The only draw back is needing room in the fridge to store the dough - although i no longer need space to store shop bread.
Buy this book and prepared to become fanatical!

5.0 out of 5 stars It really does take only 5mins! 15 April 2011
By JulieK
Format:Hardcover
I was sceptical about this book at 1st. Whilst not an expert I've made bread the traditional way for many years so I wasn't sure if this could work, but it does! I made my 1st loaf today; it looks and smells good and more importantly its delicious! Now convinced ( and you will be after just one loaf) I'm keen to try out the other recipes in the book - cinnamon and raisin bread next I think ;-)

If you love good bread, but are put off making your own as traditional bread making takes too long, then this is the book for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars GET THIS BOOK 9 Jan 2011
By Mrs. G. M. B. MANN
Format:Hardcover
This book is amazing. It truly is a no fuss way to make bread. After tasting two different loaves, my sister and my mum begged me for the recipe. So I've ordered another two books for them.

You basically throw the ingredients together, let them rest, then pop it in the fridge, where it keeps for about two weeks until you're ready to use it.

When you want some bread, you take some, quickly shape it, leave it to rise for 30 mins, then bake.

Fabulous.

3.0 out of 5 stars Major Conversion Errors 17 Oct 2011
By N. Mawby
Format:Hardcover
The basic priciple in the book is great (in fact Peter Reinhart in 'Artisan Breads Every Day' seems to have been converted to this technique).
However, there are conversion errors in the recipes
The Master Recipe (p 44) gives a bakers percentage for water of 78.3% if the imperial units are used and 83.3% if metric units used.
This carelessness is a major drawback.
I queried this on the authors website, and just got 'stick closer to 78% hydration'.
So it looks as if the imperial units are closer to the original American recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bread tastes too good to eat just a slice or two... 12 May 2011
By Margot VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I'm amazed how fast and easy bread making can be and a little bit angry that I did not read one of their books before... As a mother of 3 children I can never find enough time but now at least I can bake my bread whenever I feel like and it honestly does not take me more than 5 minutes a day (!)

The only minus of this book is that the bread tastes too good to eat just a slice or two...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and really good bread 15 Sep 2011
By pixie
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Five minute bread is a fab book. I cook alot and was a little unsure how or even if this concept would work...it does!
If you are a busy housewife, mother, partner or someone who just loves the idea of fresh gorgeous bread whenever you fancy, this is the book for you.
I have a breadmaker, a great one that I love but I'm always 5 hours away from a loaf which is not convenient sometimes, how great to be able to snip off the dough I need and let it rest for 30 mins and bake. The crust is like the best french bread you buy in Paris and the smell is devine.
Give it a go! I think you will be suprised and delighted at the small amount of effort and the big results.
There are some nice recipes in the book too, my find of the year!

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic book - highly recimmended 12 Mar 2011
By julie
Format:Hardcover
I bought the American version of this book a year before it was published here. It is truly amazing. We now eat fresh home-made bread most days with hardly any effort - no kneading, just mix the ingredients. I have kept the dough in the fridge for over a week with no problems and literally just break a piece off and bake it. The only problem is that once cooked the loaf usually gets eaten by the kids before i have a chance to try it!. If you love fresh bread - you'll love this book

5.0 out of 5 stars Breadmaking needn't be a chore 15 Feb 2013
By C. Irwin TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'd been making occasional loaves using the No Knead Bread technique and having some success. However, I found that leaving the dough to prove too long could still result in patchy results.

While looking on various forums to see if overproving was my problem I stumbled upon references to the 5 Minute Artisan bread method that is covered in this book. It has similarities to the No Knead technique (stir ingredients to combine, wet shaggy dough, no kneading) but it differs in that after the initial rise the dough goes into the fridge and can be drawn off as needed.

I've been using the technique for a few weeks now, have cooked over a dozen loaves and have yet to have one that isn't delicious.

The book has 2 sets of measurements - metric and imperial - I stick to the imperial. I measure the water and flour pretty accurately. With the flour I'm using I add an extra ounce to the recipe for the basic boule dough and it comes out great.

I've not had a batch of dough last more than a week - it gets baked sooner than that - but I find that the dough has more 'spring' (rising in the oven) in the first few days after the dough is made.

I do feel the book sorts of double talk, like giving you the method, then gives you another method at the same time. I find a bit confusing, get past that and enjoy. Read more
