Here's the deal, you take flour, warm water, salt, and yeast. Toss it in a bowl, stir a little. Let the bowl sit on the counter for two hours and you can grab a hunk of dough, shape it into a ball and bake it. Seriously, it's that easy. Put that bowl of dough in the fridge and it will last for days, and you can make pretty much anything out of it, sometimes three or four servings of anything, and you'd never know it was no-knead bread.

Put that bowl of dough in the fridge and it will last for days, and you can make pretty much anything out of it, sometimes three or four servings of anything, and you'd never know it was no-knead bread. This book explains the theory behind this no-knead approach, goes over the ingredients and materials needed to make it, and offers several base doughs, as well as recipes for specialty breads. There are a few brown and white photographs throughout the book, with a group of color inserts in the middle.
The 'discovery that revolutionizes home baking' is a big deal. The cookbook is only fair to middling. The base doughs are the most important part and there's about ten of those. I felt like some of the recipes are padding, things to eat with bread rather than breads themselves, and I wanted more color photographs. For me, photographs are the thing that makes me want to try a recipe; plus you get an idea of what the finished product should look like. Five stars for the method. It's wonderful for people who love fresh bread but don't have the time/energy/ability/mindfulness to make traditional breads.
Three stars for the cookbook. My first batch of dough is now in the fridge ready for our first loaf in the morning. I know purists may scoff at the premise of this book, but if this is a way I can have real bread each day, with that great smell in the morning, and my kids eat it, then rock on. Josh loved to see how much the dough rose. The idea is to make a big wet batch of dough that you keep in the fridge for a week, taking off a chunk each morning and cooking it. Taking the 'no-knead' idea one more step.

Great crusty bread. Fast and easy. Kids and I demolished the (small) loaf. Ready for the next one tomorrow. First batch made three loaves and a pizza.
We're half way through a light wheat dough batch. It's incredible to have fresh bread on tap whenever we want it. Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit! I now have a bucket of dough in my fridge from which at any time, day or night, I can tear off a chunk, slap it on a baking sheet, and raise and bake a loaf of bread!

Hertzberg and his co-author (who is the actual chef. He is, weirdly enough, an MD who just really loves carbs.) have totally simplified the recipes and changed up the method so that you can mix, store, and bake bread just like a pro. I am so excited! The only reason why this didn't get five stars is because the book is almost too chatty. I think it's an attempt to make it seem easy and friendly for non-bakers. I love his introduction about how much he loves bread, but the basic recipe and method instructions are really wordy, and I had to read it over and over the first time to make sure that I wasn't missing some key step along with all the admonishments not to worry and to go ahead and blah blah blah.
The steps are numbered, but each step is also at least one large paragraph long, which they don't need to be. Once you get the hang of it, though, it's really easy and even fun. I'm looking forward to trying the pretzels with my kids! The theory here is that you make a big batch of dough one day then stick it in your fridge for up to 2 weeks (it becomes more like sourdough the longer it is in there) then it is ready when you want it, hence the 5 minutes a day.
It's an amazingly simple recipe with no kneading required (my favorite feature), however it is 'artisan bread' so I have to remind myself not to expect a big loaf of soft crusted wheat bread.

Some recipes were too fancy and unappealing - Aubergine Tartine anyone? - but others were perfect - soft pretzels - and some I have yet to try - spinach feta bread. Anyway, it's kind of weird that the longest review I have ever written is for a cookbook but, thanks Glenna, for letting me borrow it and I will return it before school is out for sure! I LOVE to bake bread. I confess, I am a breadaholic. I received this book as a Christmas gift from my mom and have to admit, I was skeptical whether it would deliver on the promises it makes. I am used to making a sourdough which demands time (2 days), attention, and fiddling with started.

The outside is crusty, inside is wonderful, beautiful, amazing! I can't wait to try out some of the other breads and am sure that I will eventually have a variety of different doughs in the fridge.
To all those out there who complain that the title is misleading.seriously!?! Have you ever baked artisan bread before? The normal method is definitely worth complaining about compared to this method. And yes, I WILL make the aubergine tartine, it sounds wonderful. I'll also try out many more of the recipes included in this book. This book has converted me! I think that I'll go throw out my sourdough starter right now!

Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! This book is getting 5 stars although I wished it had 4 1/2 because I feel the title is misleading (not really 5 minutes a day).
Otherwise this book is FANTASTIC. It is one I would like to own.
I have only made the master recipe so far but it worked really well. I even did them in loaf pans instead of free form and also used it for a pan of cinnamon rolls.
I have a bread machine that I love and use often but what stops me from using it a lot is - time even though it does save time.

I have a bread machine that I love and use often but what stops me from using it a lot is - time even though it does save time. With this book it tells you how to make up a big batch of 'wet' dough and store it in your fridge for 5 to 14 days (depending on recipe) and then pull from it and make bread daily or every other day - whatever works for you. It says 5 minutes a day because you pull the dough off the big batch you made already and shape - in 5 minutes. But the rising time is still quite long so don't think just because you pulled it out that in 40 minutes to an hour you will have fresh bread.
It took my bread often 2 hours to raise to the size I wanted it. I live in high altitude and this bread still turned out perfect.
I did have to decrease the flour some and increase the water a bit. But still they book really helps you trouble shoot and it helped me not feel so intimidated by baking bread without my bread machine. I feel the recipes of this book are going to be mainstays in our home. I don't doubt there will always be a tub of dough going in our fridge. A dough recipe that you can make in large batches and refrigerate! The process is a little different from making traditional doughs, but it's streamlined.
It's perfect for somebody who wants a loaf of bread in 30 minutes instead of 2.5 hours. I find that I'm not willing to put in that much time/effort all at once unless it's a weekend. The book centers itself around one master recipe, and the other recipes are versatile modifications.

I've baked 8 loaves of the master recipe and haven't gotten sick of it yet. Sometime soon I'll try the others. Five minutes a day is a bald-faced lie but I suppose if you count only the minutes your hands are actually on the dough, it's probably around five minutes. The directions for making the dough is confusing at first (what's a gluten cloak?) but once you get the hang of it, it's all good. Most of the breads came out fantastic - a crunchy outer crust and a nice, firm but moist inside with a nice chewiness to it.

Most of the breads came out fantastic - a crunchy outer crust and a nice, firm but moist inside with a nice chewiness to it. The authors recommend a bunch of baking equipment (from Williams-Sonoma, I believe) but if you don't want to spend $50 on a pizza stone, for example, you'll be fine. I don't have a pizza stone or a pizza peel so I simply use a cornmeal-dusted sheet of foil on a cookie sheet and all of my boule-formed loaves came out great. The bread recipes seem to be fairly forgiving if you do the ingredient ratios correctly.
There's a bunch of non-bread recipes in there too which look good but I haven't tried making any yet. Two breads I was more or less indifferent to was the Portuguese broa and the light wheat bread. The only recipe that came out bad was the pumpernickel, which tasted like wheat bread flavored with coffee. It sounds alright but the taste was just odd. Maybe it's because I left out the caramel coloring. Anyway, my favorites that I made a dozen times at least totally made up for the so-so breads. The brioche is a very dense and delicious eggy bread with a touch of sweetness from the honey.
It also made the apartment smell AMAZING. The European peasant bread (which had regular all-purpose flour, wheat, and rye) is wonderful with anything. The Master Recipe boule is great too. I'll try making the bagels next. I love making bread and have several bread recipes, but none were for a good crusty artisan loaf until I tried the 'Master Recipe' in this book.
I've made it several times now and I love the results I get. It is the only recipe I've made so far but I'm happy to give the book four stars based on that alone. I will try the pretzel recipe as well but even if I go no further, this book gave me what I wanted. So why only four stars?

I will try the pretzel recipe as well but even if I go no further, this book gave me what I wanted.
So why only four stars? Mainly because the high level of detail the authors give the recipe had me worried that if I deviated in the slightest, my bread would not turn out. For example, they stress the need for an oven thermometer, which I don't have, and warn against using bleached all-purpose flour, which I did have.
After reading for awhile, I started to sweat the fact that I don't have a baking stone either. But I went ahead with what I had, baking bleached flour dough on my cast iron skillet (and later my sub roll pan) in my possibly uncalibrated oven, and like I noted above, I was perfectly happy with what I got. Following every instruction to the letter might make for an even better loaf, I don't know, I'm pretty new to this type of artisan bread. My advice to anyone who wants to try the master recipe is to do your best with what you have and don't let anything you're missing hold you back.
