Homemade Bread in Five Minutes a Day

If you are anything like me, you might like the idea of making homemade bread but don't want to invest the time.  This artisan bread is yummy and quite simple to make.  Follow the instructions carefully (i.e. only use unbleached flour, let rise appropriate amounts of time, store in refrigerator overnight before baking, etc.).  The only way I deviate from their recipe is to decrease the amount of salt.

Jeff and Zoe have even created a gluten-free artisan bread recipe.  Find the recipe here.  If you don't have a dutch oven, watch the video for how to bake it in a conventional oven.

I've had great success with this recipe.  Besides being scrumptious, it makes an especially pretty addition to the table.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions!

Happy baking!

P.S.  Books!  We just finished listening to A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle on tape.  You heard me right.  We still have a cassette player in one of our cars.  I am in complete denial that the age of cassette tapes is coming to an end!  A Wrinkle In Time was a super read, er... listen--an exciting fantasy fit for adults and children alike.  Some parts might be a tad too spooky for younger listeners (i.e. a giant disembodied brain, aliens, time travel and some dude with red eyes), but my 7-year-old loved it.  Always on the lookout for excellent reading material.  What books are on your reading list?
