Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking by Jeff HertzbergMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I am itching to bake sourdough bread! Fall is in the air! I've decided to concentrate on just one cookbook instead of trying to take the advice of six!
Later:
This is not the book for me. A new way to bake bread. The overly moist dough becomes a sort of sourdough as it sits in the fridge for a week or two. No kneading. No proofing. No waiting for rising. Just shape that (old, nearly gone over) stuff into a ball and bake. Can you see me with a ten pound container of dough, chilling and waiting?
I've decided to trust the artisan bakers all around me, pick up sourdough whenever I can, and stop (finally!) obsessing the fact that if I am retired I should bake bread. Maybe it's just not for me. I'll continue to make french loaves for myself in the mini bread machine and just get on with living!
