Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day

Posted on | September 4, 2008 | 4 Comments

Bread is one of those things that’s just really hard to purchase when you have to consider a family member which chemical sensitivity like my oldest. Most bread contains some form of preservative that’s petroleum-based and if it’s not an ingredient then often times the packaging is sprayed with it. Bread simply perishes too quickly and manufacturers want a chance to make sure what you are buying is in good condition.

Maybe I should rephrase that: it’s not hard to buy but it is hard to shell out $5 for a loaf (or more).

A lot of families on the Feingold diet will purchase a bread maker because it pays for itself pretty quickly. I have one that I bought from a neighbor but it makes a small loaf and we’d need more for our carb-hungry boys. John of Lake Neuron posted about buying a new Sunbeam breadmaker that makes a 2 lb. loaf and that would do just fine for us.$60-ish at Walmart? Not bad. I think those machines used to cost a whole lot more.

However, a commenter at his blog passed along information about a book called Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Surely, you must be joking! Is this for reals? ORLY!

Well, here’s a video for you to check out. I’m seriously considering trying the recipe in the video to see how it tastes. I just have to find out how long you keep it in the fridge before you can bake it. That, and figure out how to make room in the fridge.

Please let me know if you try this. I’d love to know how it turns out.

    As you indicated, I’m busy playing with my bread machine right now (mine was $43), but I, too, want to try this some time.

    $43! I was off and that’s a better price. Thing is, I might go for a machine since I have counter space but a dearth of fridge space.
