Top reviews

alfresco “Bought the book. Read the book. Twice now. Got a pkg. of Arrowhead Organic All Purpose and some yeast at the grocery store. Mixed up the “starter” for the initial batch of no-knead bread. The method is to save back 1/2 cup of this dough in the fridge and then feed it within a week–ideally when you make another batch of bread. Once you kick off the starter with the small dose of commercial yeast, you never add yeast again–you let the culture start feeding on fresh flour and water.
The bread they promote is whole wheat–whole grain–intact–ideally from your own whole berries, ground fresh. Once you have the initial culture going with white flour, you feed it whole wheat flour from there on out. The bread recipes use mostly 100% whole wheat flour. They offer a couple of variations using white flour for those who fear the full-wheat-on experience. They offer extensive add-ins of soaked cracked grain, millet and quinoa, rye, barley and other flours, numerous seeds, and cheese, fruit, and nuts, and some spices here and there.
The basic method involves a few short- and long-term rests, all building flavor slowly. And breaking down the flour to a more digestible loaf which is what I am mostly interested in. The basic recipe uses a 2-qt Dutch oven or other heavy pot with a lid that can go in the oven to about 500′. You can double the recipe and bake it in a 4 1/2 – 5-qt Dutch oven. Guidelines are given for putting the process on hold in the fridge because life happened.
Loaf 1 and starter use cups/teaspoons. The “jumpstarter” and first loaf of whole wheat bread, the basic Bittman Bread loaf, use metric measurements. Converting weight to volume notes are on p. 43. The dough is mixed in a bowl and uses folds over the next 2 hours to develop. Bittman folds his on a counter but Kerri simply uses a bowl which is what I will also do.
There are numerous pictures, descriptions of what to watch for and how to feel key reactions during the processes. Starter maintenance is the easiest I’ve ever seen. I have to assume it’s foolproof since they have been testing and refining it in both of their kitchens for the last few years.
The recipes after the basic loaf cover everything I want to make and some I might like to try eventually. Top choices: Travel bread (seeded rye), rich sandwich bread, focaccia in a square cake pan, buttermilk biscuits, skillet flatbread, scallion pancake (variations with chiles and chickpea flour and the “flat cornbread” also), cinnamon rolls, chocolate chunk torte, “Crumby Cookies” with leftover bread crumbs–plus the crackers, rusks and Melba toasts out of the finished breads. Some on baking with the starter.
They put the bread in the Dutch oven to rise (on parchment paper) and they put the pan in a cold oven to start. Then the heat goes up to 485′. The lid comes off at a certain point, which may vary depending on your oven. They give tips for how to determine this. The bread comes out at a certain point and goes back into the oven to crisp up.
So that’s what I’ve gotten out of the book so far. It’s written very clearly and provides plenty of detail for learning and following their process. I was lucky enough to find organic winter wheat nearby and picked that up at a drop-off point today. Will try grinding in a blender with the grain jar. Very happy to find such a basic book which seems to have condensed a great deal of bread knowledge into it. I have lots of bread books which I read, but this one I think I will actually bake from.”

H. Russock “As someone who has made Jim Lahey’s No-Knead bread recipe well over 100 times, I was very excited to hear about this book when it was announced; an opportunity to have the ease of Jim’s fermentation method to make something more complex and healthier. Unfortunately…while the individual components of Bittman’s method are simple, they are far from groundbreaking. Instead – they are time-consuming (not in terms of labor, but in terms of “let it sit for 8-12 hours” then “let it rest for an hour” then “add this and let it rest two hours” then “do this and repeat every 30 minutes until you’ve done it four times” then “bake in three distinct parts”). I don’t know who has that kind of time to spend re-setting a timer in order to get a loaf of bread. The book also fails to address the issue of gas ovens vs. electric ovens (since I have electric and it heats up much more slowly than gas) – this is relevant because of the distinct method he uses in starting with a cold oven, rather than a preheated oven and cast-iron dutch oven for baking.

I have no doubt his process results in a great product, but this is not a method I can routinely use for my twice-weekly bread baking routine.”

That Dingo Ate Your Baby “I’ve been working with starters and bread recipes for a little while now. I have not been at all happy with my results, which is why I decided to buy this book. I’ve read most of it and it seems fantastic; I can’t wait to bake my way through the whole thing. One thing I’m VERY frustrated with, however, is Bittman’s use of volume measurements for the Beginner Bittman Bread and the whole-wheat starter that immediately follows. WHY, why, why is he using volume measurements?!? I’ve been baking with a kitchen scale for years and I’m really struggling to measure out “half a cup” of dough and starter. Just how is this done?? It sticks like mad to any measuring cup. And while we’re at it, should I be using a liquid measure or a volume measure for that sticky mess? Luckily the rest of the recipes use weight and not volume, but if you’re going to use weight measurements for every other recipe, why not the basic bread and starter?? I am truly vexed. At the very least, give us BOTH volume and weight measurements. ARGH.

Another peeve: What kind of salt am I supposed to use? Table salt? Kosher salt? Nowadays you have to be specific. I must have four different types of salt in my kitchen. I will assume table salt for now, but this detail needs to be clarified.”
