Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking: member book reviews

(1 review)

This is an excellent book for the beginning bread baker. Its strategies are also useful for the old, but busy, bread baker. The book takes a relaxed attitude, and allows one to cut some corners, and gives the reader/cook some confidence in the kitchen. That said, I think I've baked some better breads, and I think there could be more careful instructions. For example, before baking, the final rise is suggested to be 40 minutes, regardless of environment. Sometimes my kitchen is hot, but its also often quite cold, and so more instructions would help some bakers.

I understand a new version will come out soon (late 2013) that includes weight measurements. That would also be a good addition to this book.

I like that the book includes not only breads, but also various spreads for breads, or uses for breads to prepare other dishes. If I owned this book (instead of just borrowing it) I am sure I would dig deep into these other recipes.
