[.ca] No Need to Knead Handmade Italian Breads in 90 Minutes (ISBN 0786864273)

No keading, LIE! 90 Minutes, LIE!:
The breads in this book do turn out nicely. The recipes are easy to follow. However, the title is completely misleading. Almost none of the recipes can be made start to finish in 90 minutes. Instead of kneading she has you "stir." Which is actually more difficult than kneading. If you have a mixer that will knead dough, it makes these recipes even easier. I use my Kitchenaid stand mixer.

No Need to Knead is a great book:
I love this book. I'm very busy making great crusty, rustic breads and I learned that I don't have to stay home all day to do this. The commentary is fascinating and Suzanne has a great sense of humor, which I thoroughly enjoy. I've ordered one for my son-in-law and have recommended it to friends. I will treasure this book.

I Love This Woman!:
I am slowly working my way through all of the recipes in this book, and every one has been superb! My husband (the picky eater) has just finished polishing off the pizza I made with her dough recipe, and has pronounced it perfect! This is quite an accomplishment ~ marital harmony and great bread combined. Her filoncino and baguette recipes are outstanding and easy to accomplish. Get a stand mixer, and never knead again!

Do not fear yeast or kneading...ever again!:
I just made my first loaf of successful whole wheat bread--ever! Used to think that my skin had some adverse chemical reaction to yeast because nothing ever worked out when I used it. I watched as the bread rose, worrying every minute (even thought about praying over it!...seriously). Would THIS bread recipe RISE? YESSSSSSSS! It rose, it rose! Would it bake up properly? It did and the flavor was scrumptious! Thank you, Suzanne Dunaway! No more dependence on stores and their psuedo-bread products for this old broad! Ahhhhh...and the fragrance of bread baking throughout the house....near Nirvana!!!

A must for bread baking enthusiasts!:
If you are a bread baker you should buy this book! Even if you are a novice this book will be so helpful. I am completing my degree in Pastry Arts so I bake a lot of bread and the recipes in this book will forever in my repertoire . I suggest you add them to yours too. Carol Field's books are great as well!
