Holiday Gift Guide: Bread Baking

My Bread by Jim Lehey - a great gift for the cook or baker on your list

It’s surprisingly easy to bake great bread at home, you just need to have the right tools.  I like using Jim Lehey’s no-work, no-knead technique which only requires about 5 minutes of time before letting the slow-rise fermentation do the rest of the work.  Mix together the ingredients, let the dough rise overnight, then bake in
