I stopped buying bread
This book is a serious game changer. I am not kidding when I say that I haven’t bought bread from the store since buying this book. I have tried 4 different recipes so far, and they’ve all been great! The instructions are very easy to understand, and the process is very hands-off.
I have a toddler and can easily whip up some dough while he eats lunch. I then let it rest and put it in the fridge until I want to use it (at least overnight). I usually will make up a loaf before he wakes up in the morning, and we have fresh bread for dinner that night!
So, so easy, and I can’t stop telling people about this book! I highly recommend checking out their YouTube video (channel is called “Bread in 5”) about gluten cloaking. That was the trickiest part for me, but the video helped a lot.
I’m including pictures when I first made up the dough, two hours later, then when I made a loaf the next day, and the finished product! This is the light wheat bread.
