Bread
Have I really not posted about this before???
Over the holidays, we tried out some bread at Tom & Meredith's from the cookbook "Artisan Bread In 5 Minutes A Day". We liked it so much we told Rick's mom about it, and she surprised us with a copy of the book a few days later.
This book has seriously changed my relationship with home-made bread. We now pretty much only eat warm, fresh-made bread, even after long days at work. We're contemplating getting rid of the bread machine, because it does not hold a candle to the bread we can make from this cookbook, plus the machine takes longer. The bread is crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside, and the dough keeps in the refrigerator for weeks. You can make as much or as little as you want at one time (one naan, or two rolls, or an entire loaf).
An article describing the basic recipe and the process is here, and if you're interested in buying the cookbook, it's here.
Highly recommended.
