Review
Praise for Jeff Hertzberg and Zo Franois:
"The contents are superb, the recipes are absolute." --Andrew Zimmern, from the Foreword "The entire bread-making process can be quite time-consuming, relegating the creation of homemade artisan loaves to exceedingly rare open weekends. But with the method introduced in this cookbook, you can have those artisan loaves anytime, with only, truly, about five minutes of work...I cannot overemphasize how easy this is...I will be relying on this book for quick, easy bakes I can offer my family every day." --San Francisco Book Review
"[In] this definitive guide to bread making...[both] veteran and novice bread bakers will find empowerment and inspiration." --Publishers Weekly
"I made it for about three days straight (the last day I made two loaves) and every day, a lovely small round loaf of bread came out. It was delicious. People were coming into the kitchen asking what that delicious smell was. Everytime it rose perfectly." --Parkersburg News & Sentinel
"Looking for a new passion or hobby? The days are short and the smell of your own bread as it bakes will make every day feel special. Therefore, I'm giving two thumbs up to The Best of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day....Put the electric bread maker away and try artisan loaves of bread by hand. I think you'll be hooked." --The Advice Sisters blog "Zo Franois and Jeff Hertzberg have amazingly demystified the arcane and delightful world of artisan bread." --Andrew Zimmern on Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day
"Soon the bread will be making itself... The crusty, full-flavored loaf that results may be the world's easiest yeast bread." --The New York Times "Hertzberg and Franois' practical, common-sense method... is, quite simply, genius." --Chicago Tribune
