I was reading a column on another website where the owner of the site was raving about a new cookbook. It's all about bread recipes that require no kneading, and about 5 min. worth of work in making the dough, which you then keep in your fridge for upto 2 weeks, baking fresh loaves as needed.
It's called Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day. I have to admit, I got really excited. I love homemade bread but don't have a ton of time to babysit a loaf over several hours. (And since I'm saving for a new car down payment, I've gotten really, really cheap. That's still really new to me. )
Anywho, I made a batch of dough Saturday night. It did take less than 5 minutes. I was impressed. I made a loaf today, just whole wheat sandwich bread. It was amazing. Soft and chewy on the inside, just a bit of resistance to the crust.
No dough recipe (that I've looked at) calls for any fat. The flavor and texture come from the process and from the wet dough.
I thought maybe you guys might appreciate it.
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
Sounds wonderful. I will have to check it out. I have always wanted to try making bread but never have the time or the right equipment. can't afford a bread machine.

And takes the same amount of time to prep.
