Tomorrow I am going to treat myself to a copy of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I've been wanting the book ever since I read about it online, but I thought I would get it at the library first and test a few recipes. When I went to the library yesterday, I found out I was number 17 on the wait list! This was right after I paid my $22 in late fees. Which would have bought at least one book--if not four or five off the bargain rack at the bookstore. (The library is near my house, so I'm not sure why I can't get those books in on time).
I have a Barnes and Noble gift card my friend Sandy gave me for my birthday, but I just can't ever bring myself to spend it. But, I received a 10 percent off coupon, so I'm going to splurge!
Apparently the book gives recipes for dough that you can keep in the fridge for weeks at a time. It isn't sourdough, but the authors said it takes on sourdough tones after a few weeks. I can't wait to try it out. I'll let you know how it goes!
UPDATE: Okay--I have the book. But, I ran out of time to bake! So, I'll try the bread later this week.
