The problem has been that we don't feel we have the time for recipes that require us to be home all day to tend to them.

Problem solved!

Judith Fertig's recipes provide shortcuts for all the mixing, kneading and baking that takes too much time for busy home cooks. The secrets she reveals guide the home cook in preparing artisan bread in only five minutes.

Although these incredibly simple and easy recipes for delicious artisan breads aren't ready to eat in 5 minutes, Judith shows you how to make them with just a few minutes of your time here and there.

You can actually make the dough one day, and form and bake it over a few days afterwards. Now that's bread baking for the modern very busy baker.

The recipes are organized by difficulty to guide a baker in progressive steps. From baking a simple French loaf to pretzels, clear instructions with step-by-step illustrations assure success.

Here are some of Judith's easy-to-make and great-tasting breads:

Easy artisan foccaccia with rosemary
Greek-style pizza
Whole wheat pita bread
Braided challah
Butternut brioche
Minnesota wild rice sticks
Marbled bagels
Apple custard kuchen

There is even a chapter devoted to toppings and fillings, such as artisan butter, honeyed applesauce, and roasted garlic and onion jam. With just one bowl and very little time, 200 Fast and Easy Artisan Breads: No-Knead, One Bowl guides any home baker to glorious fresh breads.

We have two recipes from this cookbook on the site. Have a look at:

Flaky, Buttery Croissants

Almond and Apricot Galettes

I've only taken this book out of the library but am I glad I did. The recipes are easy to do and come out smelling wonderful and taste great. The Oatmeal Honey bread I made is wonderful, I love oatmeal bread and this doesn't let me down. The rolls are good, hard crust just the way they should be, and the way I like them. I'm going to be trying many, many more of the recipes and if not careful, I'll be gaining weight. LOL. I like that everything is in one bowl, ingredients are easy to come by, and baking is a dream. Everyone I've let taste has agreed, this is a winner.
