Jim Laheys "breathtaking, miraculous, no-work, no-knead bread" (Vogue) has revolutionized the food world.When he wrote about Jim Laheys bread in the New York Times, Mark Bittmans excitement was palpable: The loaf is incredible, a fine-bakery quality, European-style boule that is produced more easily than by any other technique Ive used, and it will blow your mind. Here, thanks to Jim Lahey, New Yorks premier baker, is a way to make bread at home that doesnt rely on a fancy bread machine or complicated kneading techniques.The secret to Jim Laheys bread is slow-rise fermentation. As Jim shows in My Bread, with step-by-step instructions followed by step-by-step pictures, the amount of labor you put in amounts to 5 minutes: mix water, flour, yeast, and salt, and then let time work its magic-no kneading necessary. The process couldnt be more simple, or the results more inspiring. Here-finally-Jim Lahey gives us a cookbook that enables us to fit quality bread into our lives at home. color photos throughout
