5 Minute Bread
My only successful attempt at bread-making has been the no-knead recipe, but I'm going to have to try Dr. Hertzberg's recipe for simple crusty bread from his book, Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. It sounds just as easy, takes less time to come together, and appears to yield great results.
I have the book, and it's pretty easy. Curious if anyone has tried the sweet breads and desserts. The plain, savory, and pizzas are fantastic.

I'm so curious . . . how'd it turn out?

Well I just ended up buying the book, so I'll let you know if I find out first ;-).

Sadly, not so hot but perhaps it was my own user error. I had much better luck with Lahey's no-knead recipe, which I suspect is a more forgiving recipe.
