Having just finished reading the chapters pertaining to bread in Advanced Bread and Pastry by Michel Suas, I have to say that this book has already become my favorite from among all the bread books in my collection.
I stumbled upon the following article in the NY Times on a new book called, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.
From the looks of it, it seems that the author takes a master recipe in which a wet dough is mixed, but not kneaded, and then popped in the fridge overnight, and then adds a lot of variations to create different breads.
Here are a few books I'd like to recommend. I'd love to see some of your favorites - or just anything that's a good read. Browndog and weavershouse, you started this idea, but I hope others can name a few also.

Amazon just emailed me to say that my copy of Reinhart's whole wheat bread book has been shipped! Yahoo! I don't care how hot it is, I'm baking something! Anyone else salivating out there?

I just got this book from the library. Has anyone tried any of the recipes? Any opinions on the book or the techniques she uses?
Hi everyone,
I have been reading alot on sourdoughs and how to make startes lately.
I really really want to get it happening, but I just cant seem to get all this percentage stuff sorted in my head.
I have found (at least with baking bread) I am a kinetic learner-but I know I need to get a firm grasp of what I need to do before I start.
