Synopsis

With over 100,000 copies in print, "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day" has proven that people want to bake their own bread, provided they can do it easily and quickly. Knowing that people are changing the way they eat and bake because of health concerns or lifestyle choices, the authors took their established methods and applied it to breads rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. That is where "Healthy Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day" comes in. Health-conscious bread-eaters need homemade options more than anyone else. They want delicious bread, but they can't find the healthy ingredients they'd like to use in traditional bakeries, or in traditional recipes. Whether you are looking for more whole grains, whether you're vegan, gluten-free, training for a triathlon, trying to reduced your cholesterol, or just care about what goes into your body, this book delivers.

Review:

“Zoë François and Jeff Hertzberg have amazingly demystified the arcane and delightful world of Artisan Bread. Now, on the heels of time sensitivity (hello...5 minutes Really? Yes!) comes a baking book for the health conscious, and it couldn’t be more timely. Bottom line,  I would crawl across a desert of broken glass to hop into their loaf pan.”--Andrew Zimmern, Food Works, Inc.
