Artisan Bread

To me, there is nothing better than a loaf of crusty bread to round out a meal. My kids literally jump for joy when I serve this bread, hot from the oven. It makes it to our table about once a week. I use the simple bread making process outlined in Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. It is quick and easy, even for a beginner. The dough is mixed up in large batches, in advance, and is stored in the refrigerator for future use. The dough can be stored for up to 14 days, so there is no rush to use it up immediately. (You can read my full book review on Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, here.)

I like to make my Artisan Bread with half white flour and half white whole wheat flour. And I have a batch ready to go in my refrigerator most of the time. I have also added chopped olives or diced pepperoni to my bread with great success. You can find the Master Recipe for this Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, along with an instructional video, here.
