 Doesn't workMar 07, 2010
I borrowed this book from a friend and tried the Master Recipe three times. Each time, I carefully measured the ingredients to ensure the precise amounts were used. Each time, I ended up with dough that was so wet and sticky that it was (1) impossible to work with, and (2) incapable of holding any kind of form.
Based on the other reviews, the recipe must work sometimes, but after three times, I give up, and will not be purchasing this book (or the authors' other bread book).
The NYT/Jim Fahey no-knead bread recipe is easier and more fool-proof than this one.

 Incredibly easy! First loaf was PERFECT!!!!Mar 04, 2010
I have made bread before with unpredictable results. I was not sure how well this method would work but it sounded good so I gave it a try. Now I have just sampled my first loaf of perfect artisan bread with a perfect crust and wonderful texture inside. I have a 6 qt container full of dough for making wonderful goodies this coming weekend. I did not have a pizza peel but a thin cutting board coated with a bit of flour worked great. Not having to kneed the dough was a joy. I will recommend this book to everyone (after they taste the homemade bread!!!!)

Everyone Should Own This Book!Mar 02, 2010
I checked this book out from my local library to try it and it was amazing! I don't buy many books (maybe 1 or 2 a year normally), but this was definitely worth my money! The basic recipe is SO EASY. Anybody can bake bread...though the 5 minutes a day part is a little mislead for beginners :). It really is worth buying and I love knowing what exactly is going into my food. It is also great if you or someone you know reacts poorly to preservatives (I get horrible migraines) as this is really just a few ingredients and they don't have names that can't be pronounced.

I made Lima, and it tasted great!Mar 01, 2010
My husband is of Swedish descent and loves Limpa, along with the rest of his family. It's hard to find a bakery in the suburbs of Chicago that sell Limpa year round. I don't care to drive into the city to the one bakery that sells it and stand in line. I've tried for 2 years to make limpa and failed miserably. Even though I used to make kneaded breads successfully 20 years ago.
You can't imagine how delighted I was when it came out of the oven looking & tasting like Limpa! YES! Finally no more trial and error experiments. No more trying to figure out what I did wrong.
Now I can move on to Lutefisk. Just joking.
