I don't know if that's the book I have, but I was given a similar book on artisan bread in five minutes a day. It works great. But I never trusted the oven enough to try baking it. Our oven is very temperamental. However, I've mastered the art of baking english muffins, naan bread, and various other flattish breads in a covered frying pan on the stovetop.

BTW...Pillsbury The Complete Book of Baking is a must have in the kitchen. I have the 1993 hardbound 1st edition. Wonderful book!

The book does NOT tell you how to bake on the stovetop. That's something I figured out on my own.
But it's a simple way to make bread, it tastes great, and it goes from beginner (three ingredients) to advanced (I never went past beginner).

I thought everyone had an outdoor wood oven?

This one has been a very popular way to make an artisan style bread. I'm not a baker. Too impatient and too absent minded and too imprecise.

You can drop it off at my favorite tavern and pick up the envelope meant for you. Or you can meet me behind the Safeway store in GP on G street. Come alone.

Excellent! Mix up the dough(hand mixer), cover for 24 hours, drop into a heavy dutch oven and bake. Crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside. Even better the next morning toasted. Thinking I may use a loaf pan next time just to experiment with the dough.

I love a good toasted bread that holds up to peanut butter and freezer jam

Second batch of dough resting in my vintage yellow pyrex mixing bowl. Found the bowl at a garage sale for a buck. Thinking of adding dried cherries and orange zest to the dough tomorrow. Sweet breakfast bread? Maybe french toast?
