Praise for "Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day"
..".Zoe Francois and Jeff Hertzberg have amazingly demystified the arcane and delightful world of artisan bread. Now, on the heels of time sensitivity (Hello... 5 minutes Really? Yes!), comes a baking book for the health-conscious, and it couldn't be more timely. Bottom line, I would crawl across a desert of broken glass to hop into their loaf pan..." --Andrew Zimmern, Travel Channel host, food writer and radio personality
..".it's a vast improvement over the laborious process of making artisan breads using classic methods... in their new book, Hertzberg and Francois have gone one step further... baking breads that use less sugar, healthy grains, fruits and vegetables, and are friendly to those with allergies or food sensitivities..." --Associated Press
..".you can make high-quality homemade bread. There's no need to knead or be held hostage by the clock waiting for the dough to rise... under their five-minutes-a-day me

The bread recipes in this book look great but every one of them relies on the addition of vital wheat gluten. I went to Holland & Barrat, Julian Graves as well as a number of other health food shops in the city where I live, and the wheat gluten was not sold anywhere. I investigated on the internet and it is available but is not very cheap, and with postage makes a rather expensive item. Am thinking of returning the book as I am weary of making any of the breads without the wheat gluten.

I love the breads in this book - there is a real selection from the bog-standard loaf to some really interesting breads (espresso and pear bread anyone?). I recently made some wholemeal carrot, raisin and cinnamon bread and it was deliscious. The only thing I would mention as a downside is that the recipes rely heavily on wheat gluten as an aditive (this means the bread does not sink too much whilst being stored in the fridge) - and it does work, the only problem being I was only able to source wheat gluten on the internet and it was quite expensive (mainly because of postage!). This might be something to look into if thinking about buying the book.

It isn't 5 minutes folks. If you want a loaf then there's a 40 min proving session on the master mixture; and other recipes in the book vary.
However, saying that; this wet method does save a lot of time; and I personally tend to make flat bread mostly; i.e. I pull off the amount I want, flatten it, chuck on a baking tray and shove it in the oven. I get gorgeous pita like bread; which me and the kids adore. That depending on size of the dough I've pulled off; takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes or so to cook.
So while you won't have bread within 5 minutes - using the wet method you can have bread within 10-30 mins depending on what you do.
Oh, and the bread is delicious. Seriously yummy.
Might not be 5 mins to make - but ooooh it is worth the time it does take - very, very worth it.
