This title hides a lot, there is a lot of work required before ou get to the five minute a day part. i wish I could have looked inside the book a bit more before I bought it, then I wouldn’t have bought it.

I thought the book had many good, hearty bread recipes but unfortunately very few pictures, something I think is a must for a cookbook.To make matters worse I bought 2 books (one for a gift) Probably would have returned them but I lost track of the time because of the holidays and went beyond the 30 days for returning books.

I think the book is well-written and was looking forward to our first loaves with the basic recipe. Unfortunately, the first tasted like baked wet cardboard. The subsequent loaves which were made a week later had the sourdough quality to it, but still not great-tasting bread. All my ingredients were fresh, I measured carefully, but I am disappointed in the end product.

“Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day” is a very good bread recipe book. Keep in mind that what you are really paying for is a book of bread recipes. The “five minute” recipe the book is based upon is easily explained in about two pages of this book. So 99% of the book is nothing but recipes for various breads.
As for the five minute bread recipe itself, I can echo the testimony of others that it works very well. I usually make a batch of bread dough and put it in the refrigerator to use on another day. It’s amazing how much it rises in the refrigerator. If you follow the authors’ advice and don’t wash the dough bucket between batches you will find the dough takes on a nice sourdough flavor. And it is true you can leave it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. When you’re ready to use it the dough rises very little prior to baking, but proofs up very well in the oven. The crust is very crisp with a nice soft interior.
If all you want to learn is the basic five minute bread recipe you don’t need to buy this book. I’m sure it has been detailed on various web sites for free. If you want a book of recipes for interesting breads based on the five minute recipe, though, it is well worth the purchase.
