Review - Gluten-Free Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.
5 stars
To be honest I was a bit sceptical, having spent 20 years trying to find a way to make bread that didn't involve a chemistry lab and a lot of duds. This book finally showed me a way it could be done.

Lots of variations to be tried yet - but so far I've done loaves of all types and rolls. Flat breads and some of the fancy items to be tried …
