Their first book was called “stupendous,” “genius,” and “the holy grail of bread making.” 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. In just five minutes a day of active preparation time, you can create delectable, healthy treats such as 100% Whole Wheat Bread, Whole Grain Garlic Knots with Olive Oil and Parsley, Black-and-White Braided Pumpernickel and Rye Loaf, Black Pepper Focaccia, Pumpkin Pie Brioche, Chocolate Tangerine Bars, and a variety of gluten-free breads. 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. The authors answer bread questions at their website: www.healthybreadinfive.com.
Jeff Hertzberg and Zoë François met while taking care of their toddlers at a kids’ music class, and co-authored their first book, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking in 2007. The book became a bestseller, with rave reviews in the New York Times, Associated Press, the Arizona Republic, and other media all over the United States, Canada, and Europe. They’ve demonstrated their revolutionary stored-dough method on television in San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Tampa, and Phoenix.

This review is from: Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients (Hardcover)
While I do like the resulting bread products I have tried from this book, none of them are truly '5 minute' recipes so I find myself making less and less of them as time goes on, and reverting back to my tried and true traditional yeast recipes. This is also partly due to the fact that, in Canada, you can't get the 'white whole wheat' flour (at least where I am you can't) that a great number of the recipes call for, which means I'm limited and getting bored. *As regards the reviewer who (kindly, thank you!) pointed out "Nutriflour", it is not white whole wheat, it is all purpose unbleached flour with wheat bran added. White whole wheat flour is milled from white wheat as opposed to red. I have not seen it available anywhere here.

Excellent recipes, but as one might expect - 5 minutes a day might not do it . .

I haven't bought bread in months!,
This review is from: Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients (Hardcover)
This book is fantastic. Well-writen, easy-to-follow instructions and fabulous tasting recipes. True, there are a couple of recipes that take a little more than 5 minutes, but overall the recipes are fast, easy and reliable. I haven't tried one recipe that didn't work out or that I wouldn't make again. Best of all...warm bread straight from the oven whenever I want!! :-)
