I too use the 5 minute Artisan Bread recipe! and I love it!!! I make individual rolls, or the boule when we have company, and I use it as my pizza dough! Delicious!!! The longer it stays in the refrigerator it has a more sourdough flavor to it! OUTSTANDING!!!!

My husband bought me my first bread machine 15 years ago and now I’m up to three machines. The last two machines were bought from a Mennonite/Quaker charity shop for $2-$3 each. They all work really well. I almost always use my machines on the dough cycle because kneading dough by hand tires my right arm out too much(I was burnt as a child). I make 2-3 loaves of bread every other day to feed our family of 6. I haven’t bought bread in a long, long time. I love the fact that I control what goes in my bread.

If you are looking for another bread machine, try watching yard sales for one. I yard sale every weekend and see at least 2 or 3 bread machines a month for no more than $5 or $10 each. Mine cost $5 and was still in the box with the instruction manual and recipes.

Thank you! I’ve heard so many good things about artisan bread, I guess I need to try it.

I ran across your blog and I love it! I just wanted to let you know that I have also used the Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day method and it is wonderful and works great!

The Artisan Bread book makes a very loose, wet dough, that doesn’t dry out too much when stored. It never lasts 2 weeks at my house, because we go through it too fast. The longest it has been in my fridge is 5 days. Some of the enriched recipes (with eggs and such) can’t be stored as long. The one that lasts two weeks is just flour, water, salt and yeast!
