Now, in their much-anticipated second book, Jeff Hertzberg, M.D., and Zoë François have taken their super-fast method and adapted it for the health-conscious baker, focusing on whole grains and other healthier ingredients.

The method is still quick and simple, producing professional-quality results with each warm, fragrant, hearty loaf.

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. Calling all bread lovers: Whether you are looking for more whole grains, watching your weight, trying to reduce your cholesterol, or just care about what goes into your body, this book is a must-have.

I a a trained chef that always had problems with bread, but with this method it is a no brainer. I am going to buy the book, no other book has made it this easy. I highly recommend trying this technique. Thanks, Jay

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.

@KevinHarlan you don't count the time that it rises because you don't sit there and do nothing, you don't count the time it takes to keep in fridge. You only count the time that you actually are making the dough which is less than 5 minutes. We make this bread every other day for our family and it gets faster and faster to make.

white flour?? and bread is healthy?? hmm.....and what type of flours strong like for bread making?

[teethinaboxx]

Does putting the water in the oven make a difference in baking or anything?

[philhess94]

Does anyone know if the remaining dough can be frozen? I will only need one loaf of bread a week. And if so, what is the best way to thaw it?Thanks!

I've made a few loafs and my family is loving it!! It is quick and do-able for anyone!

[tweetyb421]

The initial set up may take a day or so because it's refrigerated overnight, but then once that's done, it literally takes a few minutes to shape and put in the oven, and it makes enough dough for about 4 loaves...so yes bread in five....

[dirtyrunner1]

or you can just go to the nearest supermarket and buy a sliced loaf,anyone,i mean anyone could tell you its gonna take longer than 5 minutes to bake this,shut the hole under your mouth jeff!!
