About a dozen of the recipes are 100% whole grain.

Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day will show you that there is time enough for home-baked bread, and that it can be part of a healthy diet.

It looks like it took two days not five minutes.

I'm so impressed, this truly is a fool proof recipe! The first time my timing was seriously off: I had to step out while it was rising at room temperature and was not able to return until 3 1/2 hrs later. Nevertheless I really wanted to try it. I skipped the 90 min. sitting time because it hadn't been refrigerated yet and baked right away. Amazingly, 35 minutes later I had a wonderful bread, very tasty, moist, with a beautiful brown crust. Note: I did not even use "vital gluten", only the yeast.

Someone seen this excellent cook book named Chef 790 Secrets? My friend already lost like 10 pounds in a month subsequently after cooking the recipe book! Simply just google the site I can't recall the web address.

I just made my 2nd batch, the first was way too dry and unusable. The second was better, but still very dry. I don't think I should be doing the scoop method.

Can you use all whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour instead of adding the all purpose flour?

I have never used a stone, just a cookie sheet. Works great.

It creates steam in the oven which makes the bread crustier. It's a very common technique.
