I gave this book as a gift to my partner and was so inspired I mixed up the first batch of bread dough. We had bread with some soup last night and it exceeded any locally available "artisan bread". I have been baking for 30+ years and this was REALLY easy, minimal effort for excellent results.

I tried once long ago to make bread but it was an utter failure. After hearing an interview with the author on NPR, I thought I just had to give this book- and this method- a try.

On day one, I made my first batch. Day two, I made the best bread I've ever eaten. I was so impressed with me! The directions are easy. The author explains not only HOW to do it, but WHY, helping me to really understand the mechanics involved. Perfect for the beginner--- but with the results of a pro.
Get a pizza/bread stone and pizza peel when you order this book and you will NOT be disappointed!

I don't frequently review things, but this book is a true standout. I purchased it last week and made the dough on Thursday. Baked the first loaf on Friday evening and it was quite good. I have now cooked the second loaf from that first batch of dough as a french baguette and am even more impressed. I had previously made dough for pizza crusts and attempted bread a few times with edible but not good results. The first loaf from this book was quite good and the second was even better. I'm sure you could find better bread in the world but for the time investment and to have it fresh from your oven- wow can't be beat. I highly recommend the book.

The recipe couldn't be easier and they're really not kidding about the 5 minutes. Overall- an outstanding effort by the authors. I'm looking forward to trying out more of the recipes.
