Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking

My first batch of dough is now in the fridge ready for our first loaf in the morning. I know purists may scoff at the premise of this book, but if this is a way I can have real bread each day, with that great smell in the morning, and my kids eat it, then rock on. Josh loved to see how much the dough rose.
The idea is to make a big wet batch of dough that you keep in the fridge for a week, taking off a chunk each morning and cooking it. Taking the "no-knead" idea one more step.

Update - yum! Great crusty bread. Fast and easy. Kids and I demolished the (small) loaf. Ready for the next one tomorrow
***
First batch made three loaves and a pizza. We're half way through a light wheat dough batch. It's incredible to have fresh bread on tap whenever we want it.
