Big error in the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day
Posted by Leslie Green on Tue, May 19, 2009 at 2:41 PM
I finally broke down and bought the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.
It is wonderful and I highly recommend it. No more buying packaged bread for me. And my house smells like a bakery. However, it is a bit dangerous because bread makes my butt big and the fact that I slather it with butter doesn't really help. I suppose I could have a worse habit, like crystal meth or something. Crystal meth, butter, crystal meth, butter — yep, I'll take my butter!
I have made two types of bread so far, the 100 percent Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread and the Oat Flour Bread. Both were extremely delicious and healthy. However, I did notice the bread really didn't rise well. I followed the very well-written directions, but the dough didn't act right. So today I went to their website. There is a section listed "Errors"
One of the errors in the book is that all the recipes as written call for 1 1/2 packets of yeast, when it should be TWO packets of yeast! Huge boo-boo on their part.
If you have the book I suggest you check out the error section of their website.
But even with the problems, I still love the book and will continue to make my own bread.
Enjoy,

Thank you so much for trying the book and I'm so glad you are enjoying the bread! The truth is that if people use the amount of yeast written in the book it will work just as well. In fact, on our website we talk about how people can use even less if they like. Our errata sheet is there because we want people to have as much information as possible. Jeff and I are happy to answer questions at www.artisanbreadinfive.com and have new recipes up all the time. Thank you and Happy Baking! Zoë François
