  • Best.Book.Ever

    You will never want to buy bread again after making the recipes in this book. From loaves, sticky rolls, pizza, buns, boules for Clam Chowder, the possibilities are endless. And unlike what a previous reviewer said, you DO NOT need a mixer with a dough hook. You just mix up the ingredients in a large container with lid and you are on your way. No kneeding required. A pizza stone does give you the best results, but you can get by without one. Get yourself this book, some flour, some yeast (buy in bulk at *****) and some Kosher salt. Throw in some lukewarm water and you are set!

  • AWESOME BOOK!

    I can't say enough good things about this book! There are a wide array of recipes and some non-bread recipes that go well with certain breads. I have managed to do without some of the supplies they recommend. The only things I use are: measuring spoons and cups, the large container and lid, rolling pin, bread pan, cookie sheet (with tin foil and either flour or cornmeal), and small baking sheet for water. It's very easy to do and the whole family now gets to enjoy fresh, homemade bread :) I HIGHLY recommend this book.

  • Bread at its best!

    This book is amazingly informative and almost life-changing for those who like to bake but have always been a bit intimidated at the idea of baking bread (such as myself). It has become ridiculously easy to bake fresh bread almost daily. I end up usually bringing in a loaf or two a week to work and my co-workers have taken to calling me "the bread girl". So far the semolina bread seems to be everyone's favorite, but I think the brioche is pretty awesome too! I have many more recipes to try; really the best money I've ever spent on a cookbook! I would give it 10 stars if I could!

  • great book/great breads

    This book breaks down bread baking to a couple of simple steps. Easy to read and follow directions will have you baking home made breads in no time. Recipes included for artisan, peasant, flat, enriched and sweet breads. Enjoy!

  • Outstanding!

    Who does not love the smell and taste of homemade bread? This book is fantastic! The recipes in this book are easy and the taste and texture are terrific. I cannot recomment it highly enough; the best of the best!

  • Love It! Enlightening Tips for the Casual Baker

    Although I have yet to make any of the recipes, I have read the tips & techniques which were illuminating for me even though I have been baking bread for years(as an amateur). Overstock's price was the best available and shipping was lightning fast! I might have like more photos as I always find photos enticing and motivating.

  • I'm thrilled!

    I love to bake my own bread, partially because it tastes great, but primarily because I know what's in my bread.... but, until now, it's been very time consuming. This book has taught me how to have home baked bread without devoting hours to it's preparation. I love it! If you love home baked bread, get this book!

  • Yummy!

    All of the recipes in this book have made bread baking less scary for me. This book has even gotten my baking challenged fiancee interested and baking bread on his own.

  • Great book

    I gave this book as a gift and the recipient was inspired and started baking fabulous bread right away. The only caveat is that the recipes require some specific kitchen tools a mixer with dough hooks and a pizza stone. A pizza peel was also purchased but I don't think it was necessary. If I knew that when giving this gift I would have included those items as they can get expensive.

  • While the phrase "artisan bread" typically evokes images of labor-intensive sessions and top-notch ingredients, for authors Hertzberg and Francois it means five minutes. An intriguing concept-high-quality, fresh bread in less time than it takes to boil water. The authors' promises of no kneading, no starter, no proofing yeast and no need for a bread machine is based on the concept of mixed and risen high-moisture dough stored in the fridge for up to two weeks (dough is cut into pieces and popped in the oven for fresh loaves as desired). Note: for those tracking minutes, the five-minutes doesn't include the 20-minute resting time for dough or 30 minutes for baking. After concise, introductory chapters on ingredients, equipment, and tips and techniques, readers are presented with the master recipe, a free-form loaf of French boule that is the model for all breads in the book. Three main chapters-"Peasant Loaves," "Flatbreads and Pizzas" and "Enriched Breads and Pastries"-are filled with tempting selections and focus on ethnic breads and pastries including Couronne from France; Limpa from Scandinavia; Ksara from Morocco; Broa from Portugal; and Chocolate-Raisin Babka from the Ukraine, but the basics (Oatmeal Bread, Bagels, White Bread) are all here, too. A smattering of companion recipes such as Tuscan White Bean Dip and Portuguese Fish Stew are peppered throughout. While experienced bakers and true gourmands will skip this one, those looking for an innovative approach to making bread just might find it in these recipes. (Nov.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
