There has been a number of recipes floating around the internet the past few years promoting no knead bread recipes and although I found the idea interesting, I just wasn't motivated to try any of them. I liked my Italian bread recipe I have been using for years, and why mess with something that works, right? In fact, I thoroughly enjoy the effort involved in kneading a big ball of bread dough and find it a great way to relieve stress. As I stated many times before though, I am a cookbook addict, and am always on the lookout for new books to add to my collection. Therefore, when I saw a book called Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day I was intrigued and could not resist buying it.
