You go girl! Improvising like a madwoman, indeed! This is a brilliant book (and the earlier one too), and I’d thoroughly recommend them to anyone as well. It’s a great place to start if you haven’t made bread before too.

softdrink – have you made it yet? This master recipe is a weekly staple in our house.

Thanks, Mum!

Elizabeth – these breads do use yeast, but you don’t have to proof the yeast, or punch down the dough for a second rise.

Terra – I’ve made only a few loaves from the ARTISAN BREAD book; this HEALTHY BREAD has been used so much that the pages fall open to the master recipe.

Oh my, I love this book even more than the Artisan one you reviewed here, since whole wheat is much more healthy. Yum! I haven’t read these books but the idea greatly appeals to me.

Ummm, YUM. That looks wonderful. I’ve made my own bread (with yeast!) a couple of times, and love it – I will definitely check this book out.

Dawn, Your first attempt at making bread looks awesome!! I wish that I could taste it as freshly baked bread is better to me than chocolate is to most folks!! I remember my grandmother in Canada baking bread every day for the family. She had a woodburning stove and yet her bread was a masterpiece and she truely was an artist in her kitchen.

I ordered this and it arrived yesterday. Now I just need to get my supplies and I’m ready to bake. I’m looking forward to it, since I love homemade bread. The honey wheat is calling my name.

Nicole – I know! I’m getting so bold! and, you’re welcome anytime!

Julie – I’ve added ARTISAN BREAD IN 5 to my wish list, too

Kathy – I’ve never tried the ‘old fashioned way’; I’m too intimidated by the many steps in the process.

Serena – my Gram was a wonderful baker, cook, gardener, sewer, everything. I just took it all for granted and never took notes or learned from her. I’d love to have her recipe for gingerbread hermits …

Molly – There’s a good variety in HEALTHY BREAD, but I’d also like to try ARTISAN BREAD. Let us know how it works for you.

Anna – I’m not exaggerating – follow the steps (let it REST, don’t handle it too much when forming the loaves) and you’ll have success.

Beth F – OK, I don’t know what happened with the batches you made! I’m sure it’s frustrating to not be able to salvage it and to have to throw away the ingredients. Maybe it was beginner’s luck for me ?!

Zoe – I was like a kid with my first papers from Kindergarten … I emailed those pics to my parents and put them on Twitter. So much fun, deliciously satisfying.

Ti – very smart video! That tipped the scales when I was asked if it was something I’d consider for review. Brilliant idea, and it really is as straight-forward as they explain. It was fun to add to my kitchen supplies with the pizza stone and peel. I was looking a baguette pans online last night (Jeff and Zoe: you’ve created a monster!)

I am so glad that you included that video. I was going to skim over the content thinking (Me? A bread maker?) but the video made it look so easy. I even have a pizza stone!

Happy holidays! Zoë François
