A friend recently saw my "bread fail" post and recommended that I check out this book: "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day". The approach is very simple. It consists of making a large batch of bread dough (enough for four loaves) and refrigerating the dough. According to the authors, the dough stays good in the fridge for two weeks. When you have time to make a loaf of bread, you can just cut some of the dough off the large batch of dough sitting in your fridge and bake it!
The book has a "master" recipe for simple loaves, which I'm starting with, and then a lot of other great sounding bread with nuts, fruit, and herbs added. There is a short video on Amazon.com with the authors showing their basic recipe, which you can watch here if you want to give it a try.
Success! Not bad for a first try!!
