Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day Book Giveaway #2-Winner Is 

CONGRATULATIONS to LINA of Maryland !!!

Lina won this week's Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book!

THANK YOU ALL for participating in this week's book giveaway.  Be ready for Giveaway #3 to begin Friday morning!  AND THANK YOU, Elle of  Elle's New England Kitchen for helping pick our winner.  Elle's food blog is quite delicious and worth exploring.

Your baking lifestyle will change after you start using Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.  It doesn't matter if you have NEVER baked a crumb in your life or whether you can bake with your eyes closed, this book will make you a rock star with your family and friends.  You'll have to start your own fan page on Facebook just so folks will have a place to rave about your baking.  You may even want to open up your own bakery after you get the hang of the Master Recipe, which will happen after making that first batch.

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day takes all the long suffering steps out of making bread; removes all the anxiety of getting it exactly right.  The authors Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois left in the most important pieces, FUN, SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME, and INCREDIBLE TASTING BREAD for our pleasures.

We don't have to be afraid to bake anymore.  We don't have to worry that it may not be soft enough or crispy enough.  We only have to explore the variety of recipes, get out a large container and mix it up a few ingredients in as little time as FIVE MINUTES.  Then we spend the rest of the week enjoying fresh baked bread anytime we want it.

Now I want to make one thing clear.  In Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, you're NOT, repeat NOT, making a sourdough starter that needs tending and feeding.

These recipes are simple, no-brainers, written in full, designed to make four - 1 pound loaves.  For instance, when I make a batch of Spinach Feta Bread.  I'm mixing only enough ingredients to bake four loaves of bread.  When all the dough is baked, that's it, I'm done.  I wash out my container and pick another recipe like, Bran Enriched White Bread.  And I don't have to bake all the loaves at once.  Depending on the recipe, the bread dough can wait 5 to 14 days in the frig until I'M READY to bake.  I don't have to stress out about it.

HEARD ENOUGH?

I'm going to giveaway one Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day cookbook each week for the next four weeks.  By the time this giveaway is exhausted, Jeff & Zoe's second cookbook, Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients should be coming off the presses.

Be sure to Read the Giveaway Guidelines for You and Me.  I'll say it again, one cookbook given away to one lucky person each week for the next four weeks.

IF YOU DON'T WIN, you NEED to ENTER the NEXT WEEK'S GIVEAWAY to TRY AGAIN.  One entry per week is all that is necessary.  DO NOT enter your name more than one time per giveaway.  I delete duplicated names so every one has a fair chance to win.
