Nothing beats the taste (and the smell) of home baked bread. A chunk of bread, some cheese, and a glass of wine — a meal to savor.
But who’s got the time to bake bread at home?
You have.
Here’s how to make artisan bread with just a few minutes of work reports:
“Cook’s Illustrated magazine later tinkered with the no-knead breakthrough, producing a loaf that was more flavorful and virtually foolproof.
With the recipes developed by a doctor and a baker – and a little advance work – you can have a crusty loaf of fresh bread on the dinner table even on busy weeknights.
All the while, Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois were developing ‘Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day’ (St. Martin’s Press, $27.95). Their doughs can be assembled in a flash, loaves-worth at a time and stored for days in the refrigerator to bake on-demand. They’ve built the concept into an instructional Web site (artisanbreadinfive.com) and are working on a new cookbook on quick and easy whole-grain breads.”
I can’t wait to try it.
