5 minute artisan bread

[michickenwrangler]

Does anyone else do the recipes for Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day?

I've been doing them for about a year, the standard boule recipe although I've made buttermilk bread and a few others with pretty good results.

I usually have to make a half-batch since DH is pretty addicted to store bought bread and we never go through the 4 pounds of dough in 2 weeks.

A lot of us on SS make it. I roll it out into pizza dough sizes and freeze it with parchment or wax paper between the layers and freeze it. I put it on a cookie sheet to protect it in the freezer, and put the whole thing in a couple of trash bags. I make it with freshly ground whole wheat, using the basic recipe, not the ww recipe. He talks about a bitterness in ww, but that is only in storebought flour, which is rancid. Fresh is not bitter.

We LOVE it! The method also makes it much easier to digest and unlocks many nutrients in the grain, and neutralizes phytates/anti-nutrients that block mineral absorption. It is more than just a convenient recipe.

I make several of the recipes as well and use it to make pizza dough too. I rarely buy store bought bread, with the exception of hamburger buns... I can't seem to figure out the right amount of dough to make a decent bun. Have either of you tried to make buns with it? I'd like to make bagels too but I'm intimidated by the process. LOL

FWIW Using the buttermilk white bread dough to make the cinnamon raisin bread recipe is dangerous! Make sure you make it when there are a lot of other people to feed though. I made it just for the 3 of us, and during the day while DH was working. I ate nearly the entire loaf before he was even got a chance!
