Artisan Bread

The book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day calls for mixing all the ingredients at once, yeast and all, and letting it sit out several hours, then refrigerating it. This mix can be made into a number of things. When we got married, I didn't know how to cook. My decision to make yeast bread was based on having all the ingredients. I didn't know to use plain flour, so it was pretty awful. My mother in law was such a sweetie that she said it was good. I said it couldn't be right or nobody would make it twice. I had to beg her to tell me why the rolls were little and hard!
