Do you know what I call smart? Taking something from “works awesome” (No-Knead Bread) to the level of “KICK-ASS.” Which is exactly what authors of the book 
Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
Oh yeah, and I hold them both directly responsible for the extra 3lbs I’ve just gained testing their recipes.
Keep reading for the recipe and a free cookbook drawing!
So, they’ve taken the 
basic No Knead Bread recipe and added 2 big concepts to it:
1) Make enough dough to store in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Pinch off what you need and bake. Return the rest to refrig. This allows you to bake a loaf of artisan bread in as little as 20 minutes rest + 25 minute bake any day of the week. Perfect for spontaneous cooks like myself. Want dinner rolls for just 2 tonight? Pinch off a smaller chunk of dough. Plus, the “aging” of the dough produces the most amazing flavor, something that was lacking in the original No Knead bread.
2) Create over 100 different bread/pastry recipes, all no-knead. Um. Let me see if I can whet your appetite (I love the ones in red)
PEASANT LOAVES: Baguette, Batard, Pain d’Epi, Ciabatta, Crusty White Sandwich Loaf, Olive Bread, Caraway Swirl Rye, Limpa (Scandinavian bread wit honey and orange zest), Portuguese Corn Bread, English Granary Style, Oatmeal-Pumpkin, Raisin Walnut Oatmeal, Vermont Cheddar Bread, Caramelized Onion & Herb Dinner Rolls, Spinach Feta, Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan, Granola Bread, Roasted Garlic Potato Bread, Eastern European Potato Rye, Bagels, Bialys, Soft Pretzels, Montreal Bagels
FLATBREADS/PIZZAS: Pizza, Spinach & Cheese Calzone, Philadelphia Stromboli with Sausage, Prosciutto & Olive Oil Flatbread, Pissaladiere, Focaccia with Onion & Rosemary, Olive Fougasse, Fougasse Stuffed with Roasted Red Pepper, Sweet Provencal Flatbread with Anise Seeds, Pine-Nut Studded Polenta Flatbread, Arabic Za’atar Flatbread, Pita, Amenian Lavash, Moroccan Anise and Barley Flatbread, Naan, Scandinavian Rye Crisp bread
ENRICHED: Challah, Turban Shaped Challah with Raisins, Onion Pletzel, Sticky Pecan Caramel Rolls, Brioche, Brioche a Tete, Almond Brioche “Bostock”, Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache, Beignets, Chocolate or Jam Filled Beignets, Panettone, Soft-Style American White, Buttermilk Bread, Cinnamon Raisin Bread, Chocolate Bread, Swiss Muesli Breakfast Bread, Sunflower Seed Breakfast Loaf, Chocolate Prune, Chocolate Raisin Babka, Apple & Pear Coffee Cake, Sunny Side up Apricot Pastry, Blueberry Lemon Curd Ring, Braided Raspberry Almond Cream Pastry, Cinnamon Twists
Wipe that drool off the keyboard!
The first recipe I tried was to satisfy my sweet tooth. I love the No-Knead Bread from Lahey, but after an entire year of spoiling myself with crusty, homemade round loaves, I yearned for a sweet bread. This Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Roll truly is a no-knead, no-brainer! Read the recipe first, then the free cookbook contest!
This is what orgasm on a plate looks like.
Master Dough
from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
The book contains several master dough recipes, and this is an enriched, sweet dough, perfect for a loaf of Challah (the braided dough) and the Sticky Rolls. You start by mixing the master dough first, Let that rest overnight in the refrigerator, then the next day, pinch off a cantaloupe sized hunk-o-dough to make your Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls! Return the rest to the refrigerator to use for another day.
1 3/4 cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 tbl instant yeast
1 1/2 tbl kosher salt (or 1 1/2 tsp table salt)
4 lg eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
7 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, water, honey, melted butter, yeast and salt. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Add in the flour. STIR, BABY STIR!!! Stir until you don’t see any more dry bits of flour (about a minute). Cover (not airtight) and stick it in the refrigerator overnight, or up to 4 days. The longer you let it fart around in the refrigerator (literally!), the better tasting the dough will be.
pssst….if you want, you can let it rise for 2 hours on the counter, pinch off the dough that you need to make your rolls. However, I’ve found that with only a 2-hour rise, the bread isn’t very flavorful. Still good, but definitely not as good as if you had let it sit 1-4 days in the refrigerator.
NOTE: When you let the dough hang out in the refrigerator, it’s not going to “rise” like a normal dough
Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
The Dough:
- A cantaloupe sized chunk of the Master Dough (about 1.5 lbs)
The Gooey Sticky Caramel Topping:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 30 pecan halves
The Heavenly Sweet Cinnamon Butter Filling:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chopped and toasted pecans
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Use a 9" square or round cake pan
- The first thing you need to do is take that master dough out of the refrigerator, grab a small cantalope sized chunk of dough. Return the rest of it to the refrigerator to use another time (psst...get the book for all the other recipes using this dough!). Generously flour your hands and the dough. Shape the dough into a ball by stretching the surface of the dough and tucking it to the bottom all around, rotating hte ball a quarter-turn as you go. This creates a taut, smooth surface. Let the dough rest, covered with a towel to take the chill off while you prepare rest of ingredients.
- While the dough is unchilling, mix the topping and the filling.
- FOR THE TOPPING: Cream together the butter, salt and sugar. Spread this topping evenly on the bottom of the cake pan. Scatter with pecan halves (I used chopped pecans in my photos).
- FOR THE FILLING: Cream together all ingredients except the pecans. Set aside.
- Dust your counter with flour and roll out the dough with a rolling pin to 1/8" thick rectangle. Try to get it 13" x 17" I had trouble with the rectangle shape, so I we just rolled it into a large oval. Spread the sweet butter filling evenly on the surface. Scatter chopped pecans all over. Here is Andrew, the bad-ass baker boy at work. (hey, if your kid wants to eat sweets, make him cook or bake it himself - that's my rule!)
- Roll it up, starting with the long side.
- Flour your SERRATED knife and cut roll into 9 even pieces (square pan) or 8 pieces (round pan).
- Set it in the pan on top of the caramel, cover with towel and rest for 1 hour
- Preheat your oven to 350F. The book says to bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and well set in the center. But take a peek at the rolls around the 35 minute mark.
- While still hot, run a knife round the edge of pan and invert immediately onto a plate. If you wait until it cools, the caramel will harden and it will be difficult to turn out.

Like the chance to try
Challah for great French toast!
I’d really like to try the blueberry lemon curd ring.
I haven’t seen this book yet but I am anxious to make the Cinnamon Raisin Bread this week.
I’m gonna make the gooey cinnamon rolls – look super tasty!!
Alright I did the cinnamon rolls and they turned out so amazing theat my two men (hubby and son) were literally waiting when I took it out of the oven. 30 sec later half of it was gone…
i guess this is our favourite now…
Next I have to try the Chocolate or Jam Filled Beignets… that’s what the boys said.
The Raisin Walnut Oatmeal and your Cinamon bun-mess 🙂
the Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls look great
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I kept coming back to it!
Can I use bread flour?
I’ve never used bread flour to make these rolls. I think it will work, but not be as tender/soft as using all purpose.
I have made a number of recipes from the book I borrowed from the library. They were all great but the instructions to break off a grapefruit size piece of dough left me with a quite small bread. So now I always use a cantaloupe size of dough to get a normal sized bread. Great bread too
Have already done basic no-knead bread. Looking to expand my horizons. Next, the sticky buns.
I would love the challah>
I would love to make the cinnamon rolls, but that Challah looks exquisite too!
Would love to try all these recipes! YUM!
I was so impressed with myself the first time I made Challah, I would love to take a shot at the Nutella and Roasted Hazelnut Challah. It’s 3:50 in the morning and I would kill for that right now!
I would like to try the sticky pecan caramel rolls, and would probably make others. I have made the no knead bread, which is so easy and good.
would LOVE to try the sticky cinnamon caramel buns!!!!!! never tried uour recipe fir no knead but looking forward to it!
Can I use milk instead of water?
Mamu – I’ve never tried it with milk, but let me know how it works out.
Would like to try the cinnamon raisin bread. Love your site. Saw many recipes I would like to try.
Love your site and you extra comments are too funny. I’ll follow your site just to see your comments. Makes me laugh and I need that.
I would like to try many of the recipes, and I’d probably start with the sunflower seed breakfast loaf.
Love the no knead bread. Looking for a onion roll or onion bread no knead recepie.
Wow. It’s so hard to choose, but I think I’d like to make the caramelized onion herb dinner rolls for my next family get together.
I am currently 1/2 way through sticky rolls & am dying to try a pizza recipe!!
I have made the challah for Rosh Hashanna and my family is so very much enjoying it with butter, with honey ,plain, toasted just about any waynyouncan think of. I can wait to try the stiicky sweet ills and the pizza
You really hit hit the spot there with a wonderful post
with a handful of great information
After trying the basic no knead bread recipe, I was excited that it worked so well that I wanted to learn more, try more. And seeing the different types of breads in this book…I can’t wait to try them all. Like the roasted garlic potato bread, soft pretzels and beignets. And thanks for a great post on the no-knead sticky pecan caramel cinnamon rolls.
mmmmm, so good. Super excited to try more. brioche for me and the caramel pecan one….nom nom.
Thank you so much for your recipes and now this give away. I have tried two times so far the no knead bread from your recipe and we just loved the bread. I would love to win this book and try as many as of the recipes I can – the first thing I want to try is the cinnamon and raisin bread. We all ove this bread including my kids.

first try at baking rolls 100+ % success. How about cinnamon roll bread like we bought ages ago and toasted, the stuff you buy now isn’t as good as I remembered back in 50s.60s. and those crispy flat (cow pies what they look like)cinnamon rolls.
Wow what a concept! I would love to make pizza dough but you know what? I would love to make everything in this book!
I just made this dough for the first time. I can’t wait to try these!!! Patience is the hardest part on refrigerator dough lol Thanks for sharing this recipe. I am drooling at the thoughts of these rolls!
Miracles do happen! I am giving a shower for my new grandson in 40 hours and was looking for a super easy no knead carmel roll recipe. You are an angel to provide this great recipe. I am starting work in a new field which is demanding and time intensive. Winning this book would be a true blessing…plee ss eee……………
I have been recently diagnosed with M.S. (Multiple Sclerosis) Mobility and capability will be the ‘issues’ of my future. It is a joy to know I will be able to master making simple but lovely breads from a wheelchair in the future.
I wander into my kitchen, like any other woman, eyeing the pantry and refridgerator to decide what to prepare for our meals or even for the next potluck. But now — I find myself wandering into the kitchen to imagine how I will be able to function to cook even the most basic of foods after my strength and coordination fail inch by inch in the future. The simplicity of this recipe, this no-knead bread, gives me encouragement and hope that I will be able to happily work in my “office”, my kitchen, for a long time.
Please count my vote for the Master Dough
P.S. The bread is soooooo tastey — I figure I’ll need a really big, wide-seat wheelchair in the future! LOL LOL LOL
My sister has had MS for 46 years and is in a wheelchair for 43. She is the mother of 3 grown sons. She is the family baker. She realized at 43 that she did not lose herself, just the use of her legs. She uses an electric wheelchair. She inspires all of us. At 86, she still does all the cooking and baking for family, friends and neighbors. She goes to the gym with her husband and has tremendous energy. She said the MS diagnosis was the worse time in her life. But she moved on because she had three little boys and a husband and never looked back. Just forward.
Considering that your No Knead Bread recipe with your son making it has become my “go to” bread for the longest time, I’m just going to HAVE to make these rolls. They look so ooie gooie nummy!
Looking at the list of recipies above, I was interested but not inspired to pick one over the other until I got all the way down to the bottom and found “Blueberry Lemon Curd Ring”. Drool… Two of my favorite things in the whole wild world! Blueberries and Lemon Curd. Especially if it’s lemon curd made from my duck’s eggs. Super rich and creamy!
Okay. I’m in…
Looks delicious and it really entices me much. I hope my kids will like this one too.
Hi I just saw you recipe for the No Knead dutch oven bread and was wondering if you could use the rapid rise yeast instead of the regular yeast. Thanks !
I actually stumbled upon your website by looking for a enameled dutch oven, and upon reading reviews of products, I noticed a no knead bread that people were making in these dutch ovens. I was curious because I feel a longing in me to bake from scratch especially bread doughs! So I started investigating and I found your website! I am a grandmother of six young grandchildren. I didn’t have anyone to teach me how to bake from scratch. My mothers mom and dad passed away when she was very young and didnt have any family to take her and her siblings. She was raised here and there with no real generational traditions being passed down. And me of course was from a single parent family whose mother worked ALL the time! And my mother too has passed. I would SO Love to be able to teach my grandchildren and my children the joy of baking from scratch! Something as simple as even a dinner roll to start with! Then progress into the cinnamon rolls. The little boy making the cinnamon rolls looked like he was so into the process of all of it! But as for me the spinach and cheese calzone sounds oh so like comfort to me!
So wonderful to meet you Gamma!
The master dough recipe is one of the best bread recipes I have ever made. Thank you for sharing it. I made the caramel rolls last Easter and everyone wanted your recipe. I bake a lot of bread and research recipes often. Yours is a keeper!
Fabulous Emily! I’m going to make these for Thanksgiving morning.
I just made these cinnamon rolls and the challah bread today…with the day old dough, like the recipe said, and oh my goodness! I really do understand the difference in taste and consistency when waiting for the dough to sit for a day or two now. I never did with my other recipes because I have no patience but I definitely will now. This recipe was fabulous. Oh and the Challah, how creative to put nutella in the dough itself! Never would’ve thought of that! Thanks for the great recipes! BTW your posts are hilarious!
I am so pleased I found this recipe! I will be trying it with spelt flour. And the recipe I really want to try from the book is Focaccia with Onion & Rosemary. I have great memories of my mother’s Focaccia as well as the first time I tried some in Italy!
would love to try my hand at the Challah 🙂 thank you for the offer
“You and I know the Secret of life. The Secret of life is … butter.” I would like to know how much butter you put use when you make them for yourself. I’d rather save calories by using WheyLow for the sugar. (My family jokes that I am Paula Deen’s baby sister separated at birth.)
I forgot to credit that quote – it’s from the movie “Last Holiday”.
Oh wow…..got your link from food blogger Indonesia…because of so simple and i’m not good in baking, so i tried this recipe….and…reallllllllly delicious!!!!!moist inside,little bit crunchy outside and the cinnamon….makes me want to eat eat and eat again….
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the recipe.
would like to make the challah.
would like to make the challah bread–Anne
I have read both of Jeff and Zoe’s books and love the easy way to prepare dough. Then I found Jeff Lahey’s book and love that one also. I tried my hand at baking bread years ago when first married (I mean a lot of years ago) and didn’t have good results. In face, it was so bad even the birds wouldn’t eat it. Then I figured out how to make a passable sour dough type bread but it was very time consuming. In the last year I tried baking my own bread again with some good success. I even like kneading dough but had to plan around being home for all the kneading and rising. With both methods of no-knead bread I have fallen in love with bread baking and my husband loves it. I have experimented with basic bread from both books and would love to try some of the sweet breads and rolls. Sort of like Julia and Julie, try a new recipe each time I make a loaf. I would love to own Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day and not have to keep checking it out from the library.
Thanks for sharing the results of your own experience.
Cyndi
My family thanks you for posting the No Knead Bread recipe… I discovered the thrill of bread baking with my son thanks to your blog.
The sticky buns look AMAZING… I can’t wait to put my son to work tonight. When I get the cookbook I am definitely going to try the Limpa (Scandinavian bread with orange zest and honey). Thanks for your wonderful recipes and humorous postings. I have 2 boys about the same age as yours so I loved your rule on making them make/bake their own sweets when they want to eat it… I’m going to borrow that one if you don’t mind… 🙂
i used all purpose flour,it’s not really too wet, but it’s very soft.my cinnamon buns didn’t stand up well like yours in the picture.
why is my dough so soft? do you think i should add more flour in the dough? thanks.
What kind of flour did you use? Is the dough too wet to roll?
I cannot wait to make your sticky caramel pecan rolls. I am trying to learn to make breads as well as my mother did. You have some wonderful looking recipes. I cannot wait to get started.
If you still have a free cookbook, I would love to try to make the rustic bread and the cinnamon rolls! They look amazing and since I have no bread machine, your recipes and ingredients are simple and straight-forward. I loved the photos of finished products.
I can’t wait to make the No-Knead Nutella and Roasted Hazelnut Challah! We LIVE for Nutella!
I just came upon your website and would love to try your sticky pecan cinnamon rolls. They look absolutley wonderful. My friend just got an artisan bread cookbook and loves the recipes so I would like to try some of these and then we can share recipes.
I’ve heard my Swedish-American in-laws sighing over Limpa, but I didn’t even know it was a bread. That’s the one I’d like to try and maybe I could surprise my father-in-law!
I can’t wait to try the sticky pecan cinnamon rolls. My niece just introduced me to your method of making yeast breads. I am of the “old school” but don’t like to knead the sticky dough anymore.
Hi Jaden! I’ve stayed away from baking anything with yeast on it only because I’ve never had any success with them. But after stumbling on your website and found this recipe (cinnamon rolls) that even a 5 year old can do it, I was up for the challenge. The result? It a sweet success. It was a little crisp on the outside and soft and moist on the inside..and not too sweet. It was truly an orgasm on a plate. I will forever be thankful to you for posting this recipe. Now, I feel that nothing is impossible…I can bake anything! You are an angel sent from above. Thanks so much!
OOOOOOOh I make all our bread and snacks from scratch(I hate chemicals and preservatives) so the idea of no kneed bread for things like rolls and buns sounds sooooo sweet:)
I am going to have to make the pecan sticky rolls, I was JUST talking about these last night and telling my boyfriend who didn’t know what sticky buns were how much better they were than regular cinnamon rolls. After that something savory, anything! I love bread!
I am going to try the cinnamon buns; I already make the no knead bread several times a week; it is easy and wonderful.
Loved the pecan sticky rolls – but the pear gorgonzola flatbread just says party food ! I’d spread the master recipe as thin as possible, omit the arugala and bake and cut into squares. Yummy !
My vote is for the Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache. I love your blog! So far i’ve made the No knead Bread and the Onion Soup. Both turned out beautifully. Thank you!
Mmm, I would have to vote for the Vermont Cheddar Bread! And I’m going to make the Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls for our Christmas morning treat. This will become a part of our tradition! Thank you for sharing.
Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache! Because if I learn how to make this, maybe I can stop spending my entire paycheck at Silver Moon.
(If you’ve never been to Silver Moon, at 105th and Broadway in NYC, then stay away. You need to keep your paycheck for things like rent and utilities.)
Hi Jaden,
As a busy mother, who typically does not get home until after 6 pm each workday, time constraints have forced me to relie on processed foods for up to half of my family’s meals. I am always looking for fast cook-easy-but healthy “slow food” recipes to add a more homecooked flavor to dinner. The basic no knead bread recipe in the book is just perfect for me. Especially since I can mix and let it sit in the frig till I need it. And if I had the book, for sure the cinnamon rolls would get made once a quarter. In fact,I will whip up some of that dough tonight!. 🙂
I like any bread with Zatar and oil on it… those cinnamon rolls look grrrreat!
THe cinnamon rolls were absolutely amazing. Cannot wait to try the Nutella and Roasted Hazelnut Challah!
Oh forgot to ask a quick question. Can these bread recipes be made in a traditional wood oven? Ah. Ps oh yeak, I’ll vote for the No-Knead Nutella and Roasted Hazelnut Challah…..again. HEHE…. 😉
OH my! I looooooooooooooove sticky cinnamon rolls, the stickier the better, the softer the dough, the better. I find this recipe fascinating because it is accessable to all. What I mean is that kneading is sometimes difficult and lets face it, tiresome. But this recipe and others in this no-kneed cookbook are perfect for people with disabilities who’s motor skills are limited, like me. So I am sooooooooooooo HAPPY to see that I can actually adventure to make something that I’ve always wanted to make, but due to its kneeding process, I have always shunned away from. Looks like I know what I will be doing this weekend. HEHE! So you asked us what we would like you to make……hmmmmm….hmmmm…ok it was a hard decision, but since I am a sucker for everything sweet, I vote for the No-Knead Nutella and Roasted Hazelnut Challah. LORD HAVE MERCY! Nutella and Challah together! But hey no one is stopping you from making all the mentioned recipies 😉 What’s another 3 pounds LOL! Just think of it this way: You are doing this for all the good of mankind, and what a contribution that is! Ok enough from me. Bye
I am surely going to make the amazing cinnamon bun rolls – maybe even tomorrow morning! Loved the idea of leaving the no knead dough in the fridge for a few days and pinching away at it as prescribed by my own appetite… Would LOVE to win the cookbook…. pretty please… with pecans on top…
Came upon your website when I was searching for a modified recipe for caramel raisin rolls and cinnamon raisin bread. I have been making both for Christmas for the last few years using my mother-in-law’s recipe. I always hated making them because they were so time consuming; but the bread was my husband’s favorite and the rolls ran a very close second. My husband Paul passed away suddenly in August at age 55 and I am going to spend Christmas with my children and grandchildren in Austin, TX this year. They all want the bread and rolls that have been a tradition in our family since they were children. Our Christmas morning ritual consisted of unwrapping presents and eating warm rolls and cinnamon raisin toast. I am going to have a dry run using this recipe; from all accounts the results should be delicious. I’ll let you know. Thanks!!
I’m going to have to vote for the Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache. I’ll let you know how it turns out after Thaksgiving!
hi there! gosh you made me so droll with your recipes haaay…i love easy and tasty food heheh! but of course i also love standing for a long time in the kitchen and making a masterpiece 🙂 i will try to make this cinnamon rolls of yours. im actually intimated in making breads because i tried already a couple of times and it failed but im willing to try it again since you make it sound so easy and hassle-free! cant wait to make my own dinner rolls! oh thanks so much!
more power! and thumbs up for your cookbook! will order soon! cheers!
I used the master dough to make pork floss buns, cheese sticks, and chocolate “croissants.” The dough was surprisingly easy to manage. I’ll add a water roux next time to keep the bread soft (although a few zaps in the microwave could do it, but still–for those naughty-bite moments). Thanks 🙂
Hey, just made these and they are wonderful! I’d just tried the Artisan bread, and my youngest dd flipped! I’m so happy! Now to have her try these when she gets home! LOL! Thank you!!
Jaden, you got me hooked on the no-knead sensation with this recipe! I just want to thank you, but I too have gained some weight as a result. 😉 I love, love, love these sticky buns and make them all the time (hence the extra weight) with rave reviews from even my Japanese mother who is quite persnickity about her sweet rolls. And I could never make homemade breads before! I have even experimeted with this dough and made an orange sticky bun with orange rind, sugar, honey and butter. Sooooo fantastic. I got the book (my new favorite cookbook) and have also made the nutella bread but made small knotted rolls instead of a whole loaf! Unbelievably delicious. So, thank you! But not for the extra pounds!
p.s. you have beautiful website!
I made these today, and they were delicious. For some reason, my caramel topping didn’t come out all dark and gooey like yours did – it sort of soaked into the rolls, but it still tasted good.
Just curious, how much butter did you use (before you changed the text back to the original recipe amounts)?
I just found your yummy website, can’t wait to start baking(first I need to buy some flour!) We (Mom and me)will try the No Knead Bread first, sounds and looks(your photos are fantastic and make us drool) delicious! Hope ours come out as good as yours. Thanks for great photos and instructions.
Jacquie
Excellent post! Much appreciated. The mind reels at all the possibilities.
I had a friend from Sweden who shared with me some amazing Scandinavian food. Ive been hooked ever since. I have to say Id most like to try the Limpa.
Thanks, Danielle
Drool! Looks fantastic. No-knead is my friend.
The dough recipe is really great and very versatile! I love the cinnamon rolls and add just one ingredient to the filling…good quality dutch process chocolate powder (about 1 heaping Tablespoon full) for a flavor boost.

I have copied off the pizza/flatbread, basic bread and sticky buns. I’m an amateur gourmet cook; but, have held off on the baking part because of time – and maybe cause I’m chicken! However, your methods look interesting, and I’ve ALWAYS wanted to make pizza dough and sticky buns! The other ones that immediately catches my eye are the roasted garlic potato bread and raisin cinnamon bread. Here’s hopin’ I win!
Can anyone tell me if homemade applesause could be used in place of about 1/3 of the butter in making the cinnamon rolls with or without pecans or raisins or walnuts or filberts?
Can anyone tell me if boiling the raisins ahead of time would increase the dough volume substantially, like 50%?
Baguettes would be the first of many recipes I would bake, only because its first on the list and I am going to make them all.
These master recipes allow a wide variety of taste, without mess, in minimum time, little cost and maximum convenience. I cant think how you could make it any easier for me, other than coming over to wash up when I finish baking.
I’d like to try making the spinach and cheese calzone. No kneading and having dough in the refrigerator ready to use – what more could a busy mom ask for?
I got this craving for Sticky Buns and I LOVE Cinnabon it looks just like what I have been craving. I work all the time I need something quick. Hubby says I need to gain some weight so Bread is the answer ha! ha! I can’t wait to try the recipe. Cheryl
I work at a preschool as a private Chef and I cook with the children everyday. This year we started breads together and I cannot believe the positive response I have gotten from my students. They absolutely hands on love the process of baking bread! I was so happy to come accross this easy no-knead recipe and I can’t wait to go back to work on Monday and share with them my new dicovery. I think we will have a ball working and creating breads out that one recipe. Thank you for this!!!! I think that when I do start the first one I would like to have them try are the chocolate and/or jam filled beignets. They sound so homey and delicious and I want them to see what a REAL doughnut should taste and look like!!! Thank you so much once again!
Oooh, how could I resist a brioche filled with chocolate ganache? But, really, there are way too many recipes here that are irresistable!
i saw your sticky buns and immediately went to amazon.com to purchase the book. then i checked my pantry, got all the ingredients and made the master challah dough. this morning i accompanied my husband to the doctor for his ekg, stress tests and the whole time we were at the waiting room, we were talking about which one i should make first from the dough as soon as we get home. the nurses probably thought we were deranged ..or that my husband was really starved (hey, they said no food for 12 hours prior). anyways…i got home afet 4 hours and took a big chunk of dough from the refrigerator and made sticky buns. although these were not sticky since i opted not to make the caramel. i had pannetone paper mold that looked like somebody sat on them and not wanting to waste it (they’re darn expensive) i used it to bake the sticky buns. they are still sitting on the counter, waiting the 1 hour rise but i will post on my site as soon as they are ready. NEXT…the challah bread. i better start toasting those hazelnuts.
I have a very large oven. First, I have to determine how many dutch ovens I can fit in it. Second, I must borrow 3 more Dutch Ovens. Then I have to pull out all of my large bowls. Until then I am going to do the Nutella and Roasted Hazelnut Challah.

Wow! I had heard about this book on NPR (Diane Rehm?) some time ago but was skeptical. I’m tired of everyone telling me that something only takes 5 minutes to do. Do you know that 1 million blocks of 5 minutes do not exist in my day?! HOWEVER, I was doing some research on the net b/c I wanted to make caramel, cinnamon sticky buns for a Christmas brunch. I found this and made it. I am CONVINCED! I love the sticky buns (and the whole family was scarfing them up like no tomorrow, even the Martha Stewart types)! Thank you for showing me the way. This book (and method of storing the dough in the fridge) is a must!!
Wow, they are great! Don’t even begin to count calories 🙂
Thanks for the Sticky Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, they are in the oven now!
I’m hooked! realllllllly want brioche so I can make french toast! Pizza dough is something we make once a week so I’d love to try thiers. I just checked the book out at the library 2 weeks ago and it’s on my limited 2 buy list. Make a bakers dream come true good fairy!!!!
Hello,
It is a great bread recipe. The best is I don’t need to knead the dough. I modify the recipe instead water I put milk. I used the recipe for Cheese Bread, the taste just like store brought. I will use this recipe again. I am glad to find you and get a great recipe. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! Nice picture!!!!!
Hey, thanks for the recipe to make cinnamon rolls. I live in Costa Rica and friends of ours have a bakery with the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had, and I have been wanting to learn how to make some myself. I will try this and see how it works! I also will try the standard recipe for french bread, as I have been baking a lot of that lately-but it is a bit time consuming . . . I have been learning a bit from Barry Harmon’s site on artisan bread baking, and am curious to see how this method works.
Hi Jaden, I am jut reading this post which really start with Deb from Taste and Tell. I saw the book in my recomendations from Amazon and decided to buy it. I can’t wait to get it so that I can make all the delish breads you all are talking about. Thanks again for your lovely site.
Can’t wait to try the pecan cinnimon rolls, heck, can’t wait to try all the recipes. baking relieves stress for me. I will be looking forward to the free cookbooks. Thanks for such delicious treats. June
I was drooling on my keyboard and made these rolls. They were so awesome (pic on my blog) that I bought the book. Thanks for sharing the info.
It was the first time I ever attempted baking some rolls and those were delicious, and were a huge it at my family sunday lunch. I’ll be sure to make these again, and maybe pickup a copy of the book too.
Hi Laura,
I’m so thrilled that you are enjoying the book and baking so much bread!
Your comment here made my day!!!
Thanks, Zoe Francois (co-author Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day)
Artisan bread in 5 has become one of my most used cookbooks. Today I used up the last of my batch of the regular master dough to make a baguette. I have a batch of
deli-rye and sweet provencal flatbread with anise seeds doing their first rise. I just took a batch of homemade granola out of the oven so I can make the granola bread.
I have made numerous batches of brioche. A week ago I made a brioche with homemade almond paste. My husband was suprised at how cake like the dough came out. I have not yet tried the challah, that is on my agenda for today.
What I like is that I can make up a few different batches on my day off like today, then
shape them and bake them after work.
Oooh…. definitely the Oatmeal-Pumpkin… your pics are gorgeous!
oooh…. definitely the Oatmeal-Pumpkin!
Yum. Yum. I can’t even recall how I stumbled on this blog today but boy, am I glad I did! I’ve been on a cracker-making kick lately and have been meaning to move onto breads- I’ve been craving some yummy homemade carbs. Thanks for sharing such great recipes and what looks like a great book!
Jaden — Zoe .. it’s apparent you both have great — buns. I want to make the
Brioche — as it was my late sister-in-law’s favorite. Then — I want to learn how to
make the Brioche Stickey Buns. Why — I’d be the hit of Louisiana. Thanks — randy
ONG everything looks so yummy!! I have made the NKB and just loved it. I have been making bread in our household for 35 years and now H won’t let me ever give it up. I love to try different recipies so that cookbook is on my list of things that I must get. Thanks for all the great recipes!!
ok, everything looks great. Due to a combination of post-polio syndrom and fibromyalgia I cannot knead bread. My children have a gap in their taste education as to good breads, part of which I attribute to the over-large, over doughy bagel phenomenom. I distinctly remember my 80 year old grandmother kneading the equivalent of 8 challah loaves and no one can tell me that they weren’t “the best”. Barring nostagia, I am getting right to the challah recipe but the others look so good also! We are under a weather watch for 8-10 inches – there may a lot of bread getting started around here!
jm:
This is Jeff Hertzberg, one of the co-authors of AB5. If you’re finding you’d like a little more lift in the stuff that’s chilled in the fridge, you may want to rest it longer than an hour once you form the rolls. Try 1 hour and 20 minutes for starters, and consider going up to about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
And after five days, freeze this enriched dough into portions, it doesn’t keep well after that. But basically, Zoe’s pastries are pretty forgiving, and you can get away with quite a lot.

Challah, please.
I find that the first day’s dough (using the recipe that was in the NY Times) ends up the biggest/tallest. Once I chill the dough, it never rises that high. Tastes good, though.
I just made them (and the nutella bread earlier) and they are delicious, thanks so much for the recipe! but I agree that anyone who makes this should be warned: that is a LOT of butter. I’ll use less next time for certain.
hmmm…where did Michael’s question go?
Anyways, he asked if there was a way to make the butter mixture thicker, so that it didn’t all melt out of the roll.
Um, what was the original question from Michael? I don’t see it.
I have made both the cinnamon rolls and the nutella challah and am hooked. I NEED the book so I can make more!
Hey guys, I’m going to modify the recipe above to cut a little of the butter out. I might be in the minority on the bathing in butter issue!
xo, jaden
also, here’s a note from the author, Zoe with an answer to Michael’s question:
Hi Michael,
I’m so pleased you are trying the bread and sticky buns from Steamy Kitchen!!!! I think your idea to add some flour to the mix is very interesting! I’ve never tried it for this recipe but it is an age old trick when making puff pastry. You add a little flour to the butter when rolling it into the dough. In that recipe it is used to make the butter more pliable but it may just do the trick to keep it in place for the sticky buns??? Obviously you want to leave the flour out of the mixture that you put in the pan so that it will caramelize nicely and not be clouded by flour.
Please stay in touch and let me know how they turn out! I’m going to try it as well.
Great idea! Thanks, Zo�
I agree, the amount of butter was a little disconcerting to see bubbling away in my clear glass dish. The rolls were swimming in it. I was sure I was going to end up with a bowl of mush in a bath of butter. I did end up baking these more like 45 minutes, and miraculously they came out gorgeous.
The cow-orkers did not complain about too much butter.
I made these yesterday…I agree, less butter next time, but very good, sweet but not hurting my teeth sweet. I’m waiting for my copy of the book so I know what to do with the rest of the yummy dough! (My husband was amused and curious by the caption…I’ll let him keep wondering…)
And now I’ve made these, too. Very tasty, though I’m actually feeling a bit squicked by the bubbling over of liquid butter. I would make the dough and rolls again, but I personally would use less butter next time. Personal taste is all. I love having the dough in my fridge to just grab and play with, though!
Done! Yummy!
Dough in the fridge! I’ll make the buns tomorrow and foist them on the cow-orkers.
Vermont Cheddar Bread…I have visions and when I close my eyes I can taste them…and I start to think of all the other foods that would taste great on and baked into this bread. like half dried tomatoes with herbs and garlic!!!! Excuse me I drooled. I do a lot of baking now and plan on doing more now that we’re relocating to Ireland and buying a farm, and yes I am getting goats-again- and yes I do make my own cheese… Ragoatta!!!!
Ooooh I hope I’m not too late. I love the idea of having freshly baked bread every day. Thanks for the recipe and recommendation!
Pick me, oh please pick me…I promise to make almost everything in the book, take pictures and report back with pictures and a summary.
Day old Challah bread makes the very best bread pudding too.
THANKS!
Oooh! I would love to have this cookbook. I seem to be a delinquent when it comes to kneading bread…this would be a huge help! Although all the recipe look scrumptious I think I would firt try the No-knead Rustic Loaf. Mmmm. Hope I win!!!
Hien says “what more can you ask out of life”…I say, if I win the book, I will let you know, beginning with page 1!
What a wonderful site, & what a wonderful person Jaden is! You give so much of yourself; hope you get much in return!
Chocolate Filled Beignets! Chocolate and beignets, what more can you ask out of life?
How can you go wrong with chocolate-filled beignets? (I’ll skip the jelly!)
I have a quick question – Jaden, in the master recipe, you have the yeast listed as ‘instant’…but I’ve seen a few other sites as having it listed as ‘granular’, with the same measurement…so if we were using Active Dry, how much yeast would we use? (and yes, I plan on buying the book, just not going to have time this weekend but just have to make those rolls!)
Thanks!!
Alright, I’m entering too, but only ‘cos you’re making me. ;-). I’ve never baked a bread my entire life but I sure would like to try the Roasted Garlic Potato Bread. 🙂
I would go for the chocolate beignets for sure. Thanks for the review. I hope I win a copy!!!
Chocolate or Jam Filled Beignets sound like the best thing EVAH.
Just found your website (link led to the ‘salted meat = tender awesomeness recipie) and I’m in love with your recipies… and your writing style.

Sheryl: The master recipe makes a skimpy four pounds of dough, so you can make four loaves, slightly less than one pound each.

Oh, yummy, the Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls. I want to make those tonight instead of dinner!!
Wow!…where to start???…sun-dried tomato & parmesan?…spinach feta?…roasted garlic potato bread?…it would definitely be a spur of the moment decision for me…gotta love spontaniety!…would love to own this book…thanks for asking!
I tried the Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls. Only I didn’t make a wise desicion, since that was my first time baking. It ended up all flat and sticky and BURNT! I think it was cuz of the fact that i added too much water to the flour…oh well…I shall try againg soon! The center of the bun tasted delicious!
I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a copy of this book!
and I would make everything in the book, especially any thing to do with lemon or blueberries!
THANKS so much for your generosity Jaden!
Mmm – Raisin Walnut Oatmeal, Spinach Feta, Sunflower Seed Breakfast Loaf, and Roasted Garlic Potato Bread!
I have to get this cookbook! I want to make Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache.
The Blueberry Lemon Curd Ring sounds to die for. I can just imagine eating that in the summer with the sweet burst of blueberries and the tang of the lemon curd dancing on my tongue. mmmm…sorry, went into a food coma thinking about it for a second. 🙂
Oh puhleese. . . . . .pick me, pick me. . . .I must have this cookbook. Jayden, I will send you some fantastic organic NORTH DAKOTA grown flour. . . .And I absolutely will make everything in this cookbook. My first favorite will be the FOUGASSE STUFFED WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS. I grill red, yellow, orange, and green bell peppers and then can them with a bit of olive oil, kosher salt, and sugar. They are fantastic and great on bread, so why not IN bread! Thanks Jayden for your wunnerful cooking site. It is the “hit” of my day, can hardly wait to see what you will share next!!!!! Happy Trails!
I’m totally sold on the Sticky Pecan Rolls…I can’t wait to try them!
You got me with the No Knead Nutella and Roasted Hazelnut Challah. I will probably buy this book if I don’t win it. Thanks for featuring it!
An interesting concept for a bread baking book! I’ve been interested in trying my hand at Brioche, after having a fantastic loaf from the local farmer’s market this summer. Thanks for the fun blog!
To be able to make fresh Ciabatta bread on the spot would be fantastic! It’s the kind of bread I only like to eat when it’s fresh out of the oven. Mmmmmm.
I would try the Beignets,filled with CHOCOLATE of course! Could Andrew come to help me he looks so profressional?
That dough is by far one of the coolest doughs i have worked with. I am letting the rolls rest right now and then off to the oven, I will let you know how they turn out. I am excited!!!
gonna have to stick with the cinnamon rolls. they look delicious
i want to try the blueberry lemon curd ring!
The Portuguese Corn Bread or the Braided Raspberry Almond Cream Pastry sound very good. Of course, I have to try your nutella recipe now (I LOVE Nutella!) as well. Actually, I have been itching to bake some bread lately so your posts are timely. Thank you!
I can’t wait to make the Caramelized Onion & Herb Dinner Rolls. They sound so good.
I would love to make my favorite everything bagel with the recipe.
Thank you!
montreal bagel! freshly baked every morning (and the day will be all the way downhill from there). wonder if the No-Knead concept works for steamed baos?? hmmm
Since you posted up the recipes already and they come from the same master dough, I would try the Challah (I love challah bread) and the Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls! To make that master dough and at least one of your recipes is on my to-do list this week. =)
But because I’ve been eating way too much sweets (nut brittle, apple-berry crumble) lately, despite a semi New Year’s resolution to cut down on them, I would also like to try the Vermont Cheddar Bread and the Spinach & Cheese Calzone for something more savory. Yumm! I would like to try and get my hands on that cook book. Or you can post something from either those recipes. =)
By the way Jaden, how many pounds of dough does the master dough recipe actually make? I don’t think it was mentioned. Thanks.
I would love to try out the limpa and the beignets – which makes me wonder: it’s not so difficult to go from beignets to sopapillas, is it?
You got me all curious about the book. And your rolls and the Challah look rather delicious!
My eye got sticked on ‘Caramelized Onions and Herb Dinner Rolls’ – my imagination has started to work and I can almost picture it!
Wow, this looks amazing. I heard about the book on NPR’s Splendid Table show and this makes me want it even more. I must say that “Limpa (Scandinavian bread wit honey and orange zest)” sounds like something I’d love to give a shot.
I’d go with the Spinach Feta. When looking over the list, that induced the greatest amount of spontaneous drooling.
I’m all about the Montreal Bagels!!!!
It just amazes me that this works!
We are often looking for new pizza recipes to try out, but I think i want to try the Raisin Walnut Oatmeal loaf! I bet my husband would love that!
I’d have to make the cinnamon rolls for sure. I heard Zoe and Jeff on the Splendid Table a while back. I’ve tried theirf basic recipe and it rocks. I hope I win a copy of the book so I can try more!!!
Johanna (about sourdough):
I’m Jeff Hertzberg, one of the co-authors of “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.” We’re working on sourdough versions of our approach, but my guess is that you’re going to have a hard time getting a consistent stored dough if you use ONLY starter as your leavening agent. Why don’t you try adding a cup or so of fully active starter (levain) as part of your liquid, then decrease the yeast? Let us know how you make out, here, or at our website (www.artisanbreadinfive.com).
Thanks, Jeff Hertzberg
um, i’ll be making this and the challah tomorrow =). my roommates are going to kill me.
i love my breads with a bit of sweetness and i have to say that the brioche with chocolate ganache caught my eye immediately. maybe also the apple and pear coffee cake. okay have to stop now! thanks for posting these delish recipes =D.
A friend recently gave me some Amish friendship bread starter. However, rather than use it for the standard sweetbread recipe that accompanied it, I used it in your adaptation of the NKB recipe with satisfying success.
All those drool-inducing recipes in the cookbook make for a tough choice. The limpa was first to catch my eye, and challah is one of my favorites, so those would be the first I’d try.
Oh, can I have the baguette, the brioche filled with chocolate, the apple and pear coffee cake and the book….please 🙂
ho-ly cow, i gotta try them cinnamon rolls. that’s exactly the sort of sinfully sticky treat that’s hard to find here in tokyo!
First I’ll try the apple pear coffee cake. After all the holiday eating we did, that one is sure to be lower cal with all the fruit in it, ha! And second will have to be the Sticky Caramel Cinnamon buns, after looking at the beautiful photography I can already taste them!
OOOO, Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan sounds like an “impress the date” kind of recipe. Or maybe just impress my own parents with some kind of cooking skills!
I’d be happy making any of the recipes, but if I could successfully make a good ciabatta, I’d be happy!
Jaden, did you find that episode of Flay’s throw down against the sticky bun queen in the U.S.? I’d be interested in knowing your preference over these two. If I find the episode number, I’ll let you know. Or even her site…

I seriously need to make these Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls! They look absolutely divine! Please enter me in the ‘free book’ contest. Even if I don’t win (I never win anything) I’m buying this book!
this is a great book, I printed your no knead bread recipe so I can try with my daughter, I can’t wait to try the sweet roll.
My wife would want me to make anything that’s sweet, especially the cinnamon rolls since she knows that she can’t buy it at Cinnabon. Can’t wait to try it.
Come on big money, show me the book.
love the redesign, by the way, when are you going to blog about your secret of taking your great pics?
I’m always interested in making good sandwich bread, so the Crusty White Sandwich Loaf would get my vote. I can imagine many variations on it.
Pick just one??? How about the roasted garlic potato bread? I just made my first No-Knead loaf today and am already ADDICTED. So…the book looks FANTASTIC…and I can’t wait to try the sweet stuff, too!
your buns look amazing! and so does the book: but – are there any sourdough recipes in there as well? i am a firm believer in sourdough and my cultures would throw a fit if i bought yeast, i think 😉
I have been dreaming of cinnamon rolls and these look amazing!! First thing I’m going to do when I get home is pop some starter dough in the fridge, just in time for the weekend.
I don’t have a website, but I love reading your blog and trying your recipes. I tried the no-knead bread and it was delicious!
I plan to try making the cinnamon roll and challah you posted. The roasted garlic potato bread is another I definitely want to try! The Chocolate or Jam Filled Beignets sounds good, too!
I would make the Vermont Cheddar bread for me but make the Sticky Pecan Rolls for my elderly father who lives with me. I made him some for part of his Christmas present but those were definitely kneaded.
Wow. I didn’t know you could do all this with no-knead but now I do, so I want to know more!
I’m starting with the nutella!!
I hope I win this book so that my family and I can gain 5lbs together – the family that weighs together stays together 😉
Definitely the Montreal Bagels. I will fall in love with this book if they turn out even a little bit like the real thing!
I would want to try chocolate-filled beignets! YUM! The cinnamon rolls look amazing, too.
It might have been obvious that I was referring to the sticky pecan caramel cinnamon rolls, but if it wasn’t, that’s what I’m going to make because I want to win the cookbook! Thanks,Scott
Jaden – that’s the best FURIKAKE No Knead Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls that I’ve ever seen!!! And just like you….my kids have to help when they want to eat too. Now that you’ve shown me bread, I know that this weekend, I will have to make something and I want to find a recipe like the Blueberry Lemon Curd Ring recipe that you mentioned above. Sounds just divine and I can imagine some icing drizzled over the top – yum.
Hi Sydney, the dough isn’t supposed to ‘rise’ in the refrigerator. Does it look like the photo of dough (in the bowl) that I have on the site? Pinch off a cantaloupe sized piece of dough, shape into a ball, tuck the ends under to create a taut surface. Let it just sit there on the counter for a while to take the chill off. (I let mine sit for 30 minutes while I put together the rest of the ingredients for topping and filling). Then roll it out to make the sticky buns.
thanks for sharing the WONDERFUL No Knead Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls !!!! TY so much !!!
I’ll sure give the Philadelphia Stromboli with Sausage a try !!!!
rather hard to mention one recipe, I want to try them all … but would probably start with the Sweet Provencal Flatbread with Anise Seeds ….
🙂
Hi Jaden, I tried making the master dough and I think I did something wrong! It’s been sitting in my fridge for about 30 hours now and it still hasn’t risen. Was I supposed to dissolve the yeast in the water before adding the rest of the ingredients (novice baker here, please forgive me)? How long should all the ingredients be stirred before sticking the dough in the fridge? Please help!
I have already used the no-knead bread as pizza dough with great success. I would love to see their take on it.
Keep up the great articles, Jaden!
The Vermont Cheddar Bread sounds really good. I’ve never tried to make bread before and anything that makes it seem easier is right up my alley!
I just found your blog tonight and I love it!
I love sticky-buns, and these just look fabu! I’ve got some yeast for some reason, though I don’t usually bake, so I may need to try this out this weekend.
By the way, tag 😉 (check out the website link).
Mmmmmmmm… so many of these breads sound good! I if had the book I don’t know if I could decide between sweet or savory for my first! The Vermont Cheddar Bread sounds fantastic… but then again the Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache and Blueberry Lemon Curd Ring both sound scrumptious as well!
I love fruit filled pastries! I grew up with access to great neighborhood Polish bakeries near Hamtramck, Michigan. There are none here where I currently live. My Polish mother was a terrific baker. I loved being in the kitchen as she baked and cooked when I was a child. She has been my inspiration to try anything and everything. So if I won the bread book, I would try the Sunny Side up Apricot Pastry and the Braided Raspberry Almond Cream Pastry in her honor.
I also need a good Brioche recipe. I didn’t like the version I tried when I received my new Brioche mold and I owe a Brioche to my daughter. 🙂
Spinach & Cheese Calzones!
I was (and still) obsessed with Spinach & Cheese Calzones ever since the first one I had as a wee elementary schooler from my local Papa Gino’s!
And when they axed it from their menu, I took it upon myself to make my own! And thus began a life-long obsession with Spinach and Cheese ANYTHING! Don’t even get me started with spanakopita or lasagna…
Spinach & RICOTTA! How I LURVE fresh ricotta, bought from the deli and cut from a cake (which I’ve only been able to have once in my life, oh cruel, cruel New England existence).
I’ve never wrapped my rolling pin around baking although I did have an honest go at it over the summer diving head first into an artisan loaf, kneading and all, made with garbanzo and whole wheat flour.
I learned that garbanzo flour smells like fermenting beans when wet.
If only I had seen the light! NO-KNEAD!
<3
oooh, they all sound so good! But the one I would love to try is the chocolate bread.
wow… talk about tough choices. I’d have to go with the caramalized onion and herb dinner rolls too. Or that roasted garlic potato bread. Holy cow that sounds yummy. My hat is off to anyone that can positively identify a single recipe from all the choices. they all sound delicious. my grandmother has made those sticky buns as long as I can remember ( I’m only 37 ) and they are as delicious today as they were when I was 2.
OMG – Definitely Caramelized Onion & Herb Dinner Rolls. Why save them for dinner? I would eat them for breakfast. I know, a little weird, but I’ve never been one for sweets in the morning.
Ooh, I’m for the “Sweet Provencal Flatbread with Anise Seeds.” My mom used to make something like this when I was a little kid. Every once in a whiile I get a little taste memory and wish I had a recipe. This sounds like what hers tasted like. Very fond of anise, my mom was. ;+)
Thanks for highlighting the book putting the list of recipes up. I love the whole concept, and there are lots of yummy sounding things there. You’ve scored another hit.
I want to make all of them in the first category! Especially the Caramelized Onion & Herb Dinner Rolls.
(Most of them in the second category, too, and the third. That’s just how I roll.)
That’s a toughie…either the onion pletzel (mmm, onion bread…) or the swiss museli breakfast bread (I LOVE museli!).
I printed out the master dough recipe & instructions a couple weeks ago but haven’t gotten around to making it yet — these rolls are the perfect chance!
Those look so good.. I’m a sucker for the stick and nutty.. hmm, perhaps I shouldn’t advertise that. I really want to try to make the Limpa – I love citrus and honey, but I’m scared of bread baking. Me and yeast are in a learning curve together, and I’d love a copy of the book to help me out! I also love the idea of a master recipe.. I frequently get urges around 10pm and having a dough in the fridge to work with sounds awesome. 🙂
Impossible to just pick one! The Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache leapt right out at me, but anything that we could dip into oil and balsamic and/or make French toast from would be greeted with wild enthusiasm.
Plus, I’m always getting cravings for yeasted breakfast breads on weekends, but it usually means we don’t get to have breakfast until after lunchtime, so those sticky pecan buns sound pretty perfect too!
Hubby used to bake fresh bread regularly and totally spoiled me, so this book would be perfect for us.
Oooh, I want to try the Vermont Cheddar bread. I love cheese bread and have really been wanting to start making my own bread.
garlic potato bread, no doubt.
I am itching to make a spinach feta loaf! That just sounds absolutely decadent. And I guess you could call it semi-healthy… forget the carbs!– especially if you’re sneaking spinach and feta into it!
I’d start with the braided raspberry almond cream pastry.
I would request Almond Brioche to satisfy my sweet tooth and Arabic Za’atar bread because that is just too good to be true!
oooh, tough decision. i think i would make the apple and pear coffee cake. i am a sucker for coffee cakes for breakfast, teatime, and after dinner.
Looks delicious…I’d vote for Sunny Side up Apricot Pastry next *yum*
Oh gosh, which to pick? The baguette, the roasted garlic potato bread (two of my very favorite words in there!), soft pretzels with LOTS OF SALT!!
Mmmmm, bread. I love it so, little carb-addict that I am 😀
Ever since I got my stand mixer, nearly 2 years ago now, I’ve been looking for all kinds of bread to make.
::goes off to look at their list of recipes::
So many … but I think I’d like to try the caraway swirl rye, the vermont cheddar, bagels and pizza. Mmmmmmm
And of course your cinnamon rolls will be a big hit at our monthly brunches!
How can anybody not pick Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls after seeing those pictures? My husband has recently perfected his no-knead technique and has started making variations. I wonder what would happen if I just happened to leave that book on the counter, opened to the Prosciutto & Olive Oil Flatbread page…
I want to make the Arabic Za’atar Flatbread because so far, all my flatbread attempts turn out ‘meh’. Za’atar deserves better.
Moroccan Anise and Barley Flatbread totally intrigues me – but the rest of them are caling my name too!!
The braided raspberry almond cream pastry sounds like the perfect thing to serve as part of a Sunday brunch.
Dammit girl, I’m trying to start a diet here, and this is NOT helping! Well, if I’m going to blow it, I might as well do it properly, and go with the sticky buns.
And “orgasm on a plate” is my new favorite phrase for the week, thanks.
If I won this cookbook, the first thing Iwould make would be the Soft Pretzels. I am constantly in search of the perfect Philly soft pretzel recipe and have yet to find it. If you’ve never had a Philly soft pretzel, then I am sad for you. They’re not as pillowy soft as Auntie Anne’s or Wetzels Pretzels, but with a good spicy mustard they just rock. Yum. Yum yum yum.
Thank you! I just got a kitchenaid mixer for my birthday & have been lusting over baking recipes and wanting shortcuts…you could be clairvoyant! a million thanks!
Oh my goodness, those sticky buns look amazing! I’m very tempted by the blueberry lemon curd ring too. Yummmmmmmm.
They all sound wonderful. Maybe start with the rye crisp and
bake my way through the rest.
*drool* roasted garlic potato bread
You had me at “no-knead”! I’ve been dying to make the no-knead phenomenon ever since my foray into food blogs and now this cookbook leaves me with no excuse but to get in on this pure genius-ness! I have to borrow a key and lug all my baking supplies to the other floor in my dorm to use the kitchen, but for a taste of this nutella challah, I would trek across campus to bake this.
I think I would make the Limpa because honey and orange zest sound so delicious together!
Sigh. Pizza.
Is that horribly boring and lame of me? The thing is, I’ve made focaccia, I’ve made rolls, I’ve made ham and cheese loafs. I’ve even made the fantastic No Knead Bread after reading about it here (it knocked my mom’s socks off, thank you very much! and she is a master baker).
But I can NOT make a pizza crust. They keep coming out horrifically, uneatably (hmmm, do you know Word doesn’t have a spelling for that?) bad. Like unchewable cardboard. Its really embarrassing, actually, for someone who pretends she can really cook. So, pizza. Probably the easiest thing in the world for everyone but me. Help!
The Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan sounds delicious. That would be the first one I’ll make with the book!
the za’atar flatbread, delicious
You want me to choose one recipe? They all looks so amazing. I’m just learning how to make bread and it’s not as easy as you all make it look like, but I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. this book would be the perfect addition to my cookbook collection. I love your blog!
I’d try the bagels! That sounds like a mighty challenge 🙂
This sticky buns look so yummy, have to try the recipe.
Me being Portuguese I would need to try the “Portuguese corn bread” to see how tastes to the one my mom makes but the choc. or jam filled beignets sound good too.
I’m torn! Pizza first, then start on page 1…Here in New Hampshire we’re having a blizzard, and wouldn’t bread in the oven be just the thing.
As for a diet book: The Fiber 35 Diet, by Brenda Watson — more an eating book than “diet” — with tasty recipes.
MMMMM I will make the chocolate or jam filled beignets.
I’d love to enter.
I want to try a basic baguette. There is something so satisfying about a good piece of bread and butter.
I’m seriously on a “No Carb Left Uneaten” tour this year. I NEEEEEED this book. I need it like Richard Simmons needs hair mousse.
I want to try the Naan. On my honeymoon in the British Virgin Islands (of all places) they had the most amazing naan! The pulled it right out of the chiminea-type thing and I was waiting with open palms to rush it to my table and devour it before returning with ghee soaked hands for another piece. I don’t think they had ever seen a white girl eat bread like that.
Awesome! I’m so trying out this recipe! And if I win the book, the next one I’d try is the Chocolate Filled Beignets. 🙂
I definitely want to make the bialys.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Everything in the book sounds delicious. Being from Philadelphia I’d want to try the Philadelphia Stromboli with Sausage first. I’d then try the soft pretzels and then the Prosciutto & Olive Oil Flatbread, the cinnamon twist and so on…
Ohhhh…wow…too many to choose from! Raisin Oatmeal and the sticky buns for sure…I might have to go buy this book this weekend!!!
I would love to see the Chocolate or Jam Filled Beignets, though the nutella challah you also posted is definitely on my to-do list.
I’m so toast! This book is on my amazon wish list.
I would like Onion and herb dinner rolls.
Well and i am gonna try these sticky buns , they are just so delicous
For myself, it’s a tie between the cinnamon rolls and the Roasted Garlic Potato Bread…will obviously have to make both! I need another cookbook like the proverbial hole in the head, but this one would definitely be a Keeper. My 6 yr old grandson Kaleb loves the pics of your son assisting in the kitchen, and will be helping me with the cinnamon rolls next weekend!
I can’t wait to make the brioche!
I would start off by making those Sticky Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Rolls and hoping they turn out like your pictures! Thanks for the book review! 🙂
OMG Jaden, you’re killing me!! I would love to try out this recipe. You’re EXPANDING my family!! LOL
Wow, that looks… amazing! I bet I could wean my husband off of IKEA’s cinnamon rolls with some of yours- thanks Jaden!
So I looked through the book- so many options for so many cravings (which my pregnant self seems to be having a LOT of these days). The prosciutto and olive oil flatbread sounds pretty darn fantastic for a salt-craving day. Then I was thinking I’d have to try the brioche filled with chocolate ganache to satisfy the sweet craving that will definitely follow all that salt… but then you post the nutella and toasted hazelnut challah. I just knew there was a reason I felt compelled to buy that tub of nutella this weekend!
No worries about 3 extra pounds- you look great! And hey, I plan to gain about that much every few weeks over the next few months!
cinnamon rolls mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Everything looks so good!! I’ve been wanting to try your no knead bread recipe but now these buns are going to have to be my first. Apple/pear coffee cake, limpa, the flatbreads..I want to try so many. I live in Bangkok now and would love to have the house homey, smelling of bread. I got word of your blog from my bro, Paul P. I love your recipes, especially those involving your sons. I want to do the same with my daughter, Sasha who will be one next month. I need easy, quick recipes and a lot of your’s fit the bill. Thanks!
Ooh! Eastern European Potato Rye! I grew up on this stuff from a European bakery. My mother would buy it in bulk on trips to the bakery 4 hours away and then freeze it. I miss it!
ohhh man – i think the Caraway Swirl Rye sounds DELISH!! with some pastrami…and sauerkraut…and grilled onions and swiss cheese of course 🙂
naan.
’nuff said.
First of all, how cool is it that one of the co-authors replied above? I have to say the cinnamon rolls would be my first choice and then the Braided Raspberry Almond Cream Pastry and if there some more master dough left, I would attempt the brioche. Too many choices!
I’d love to try the Arabic Za’tar Flatbread. I even have some homemade za’tar in my freezer and this is just the kind of recipe a harried mom of three needs to make fresh bread every night!
Brioche would be my first choice to make . I’ve been looking for the RIGHT recipe . I have tried two recipes but the texture of the bread didn’t come out right . 🙁
I would make the pecan rolls mainly because they would help me remember the good times with my family instead of the painful, current times with my SO.
I would love to have Swiss Muesli Breakfast Bread!!
If I win the cookbook,I’d like to make the Cinnamon Twists and Pizza Recipe from the book just for a start!!! Thanks for a great site!!!
Neat trick to cut the rolled up dough. I just mark where I want to cut the dough, then slip a piece of plain dental floss under the dough. I cross the tread ends over the dough and pull each, cutting the dough into nice round pieces. This way it doesn’t flatten the dough. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I have a huge sweet tooth and chocolate is my middle name so I’m sure I’d try the Brioche filled with chocolate ganache first!
I would definitely like to try the Pain d’Epi because it is such a beautiful bread.
Those cinnamon rolls look delicious, I will be trying them soon.
And as for the contest – I’d love to make the chocolate raisin babka, in honor of one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes.
I love the idea of having the dough in the frig ready to go. I love fresh bread, but never seem to find the time. My kitchen time is limited right now by a 21-month-old who thinks my walking into the kitchen is her cue to be picked up.
I still have fantasies about a brioche and sausge sandwich I bought at a little bakery near the bus stop at Versailles. I was just out of college and broke, but that was the most amazing sandwich. I’d make brioche first, and the one with the chocolate ganache second.
The za’atar flatbread, since I just replenished my supply of Jordanian za’atar. (And, hey, it comes pre-recommended!)
The cinnamon buns look outrageous. In a good way.
Mmmmm..
I’ve been searching for a good Olive bread recipe and anything that can cover olive bread AND a chocolate bread! *drool*
Jaden,
My pick would be the chocolate/jam filled beignets. I was lucky to visit New Orleans as a child and remember hot, fresh beignets for breakfast.
Keep the great recipes coming!
I’d definitely have to try the spinach-feta bread first, I think. We’ve been on a fried-egg-sandwich kick lately for some reason, and the spinach-feta sounds like it’d be good toasted.
I am excited to try all the flatbread recipes, great for scooping up hummus or taboule. If I had to choose one, it would probably be the Arabic Za’atar Flatbread. Keep all the delicious looking recipes coming.
All the recipes sound good, but the one I’d love to make would be Braided Raspberry Almond Cream Pastry.
Loving the blog as usual Jaden!
Oh my goodness Jaden, those looks amazing. All you recipes do, really. I may have to make these for my houseguests next weekend.
I’d love to win a book, too! 😉 This book sounds like a self-help book that promises to change your life, but I’d love to learn the secret to baking bread without slaving in the kitchen all day.
I can only choose one?! Okay, um…um…(sigh, close eyes and point at screen). Vermont Cheddar Bread! Yay! (Actually I would have said ‘yay’ no matter which one it was).
Oooh, my God, an orgasm on a plate…spare me the visuals! However, the Blueberry Lemon Curd Ring would do it for me!
THANKS for your wonderful blog…always checking every few days to see what and who you are into next!
You would make THE VERY BEST next Food Network TV chef with her own series!
I’d love to try the recipes for Baguette, Batard, Pain d’Epi, Ciabatta, Bialys, Soft Pretzels, Pizza, Olive Fougasse, Arabic Za’atar Flatbread, Amenian Lavash, Chocolate Filled Beignets, Sticky Pecan Caramel Rolls
My stomach is grumbling already!
Those sticky buns look delic! I would love to make the Challah or the Brioche – to of my favoritested breads…
I have a great recipe for pumpkin bread pudding that would put extra challah to good, yummy use…
I’ll go for something simple and basic, I’m a crusty white sandwich loaf or baguette person, that what I would like to try.
Ha! Great minds think alike. I posted about the 5-minute bread on Friday–one of the biggest reasons I’m excited about the recipe is that it will allow me to make sticky buns for breakfast without getting up at 4 am. Not that I need to be eating sticky buns, but that’s a different problem!
I love me some sticky goodness. I am going to make a good double batch so I can have some all week long. I can’t wait.
That book looks amazing. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Wow, those look amazing!!
I’ve had a hankering for soft pretzels lately, and an easy no fuss recipe would be so great.
And homemade Rye Crisp? Sign me up!
Gee, Mrs Steamy, you’re breaking the blog with this contest. I’d like to bake the caramelized onion and herb dinner rolls. They sound like something I could just sink my teeth into while reading an unputdownable book — without bothering with the rest of dinner. The caramelized onion would give it spicy sweetness and the herbs aroma and health-ooziness.
I have to pick one? I don’t think so! I’ve never made my own bread, but the no-knead post, and this book might help remedy that.
Wow. I hope they get this one at our library as our cookbook budget is nonexistent right now! (I checked but they don’t have it yet…)
The spinach feta sounds good, but…Arabic Za-atar flatbread…MMMM… I’d really love to make and eat that one.
I would love to make the Oatmeal-Pumpkin bread.
Chocolate-filled beignets! I must make that. And brioche with chocolate ganache with the leftover dough.
Yes, we girls can get away with that kinda’ talk! Not to mention it is so TRUE!
Zoe
I’m always looking for something new to serve at the next brunch gathering at my house. I now know what’s next. This looks outstanding!
Zoe, I thought about saying that … but if I were to write, “Wow Jaden, Your sticky buns look amazing!”, Scott would hunt me down! 😉
Wow Jaden,
Your sticky buns look amazing! Thank you for trying this out and sharing with your readers. I’m so pleased that they are intrigued to try it, but with buns like that who could resist.
Try the sticky caramel rolls made with the rich buttery brioche and they will be an addiction!
For those who have the book be sure to check out our websites to read the errata sheet. Those sneaky mistakes that didn’t get caught in the editing are listed at http://www.zoebakes.com as well.
Thanks! Zoe Francois (co-author)
I know it sounds boring but I’d like to try the bagels. We’ve made them before but they don’t even taste close to “professionally” made ones I’ve had. So obviously there is something I’m missing – and hopefully this book will help!
First up: Sun-dried tomato and parmesan – 2 of my most favorite flavors. Then when I am off of my “no sweet today” regimen the pecan cinnamon rolls.
Hey all: Thanks for all your enthusiasm, I’m blown away by it. I’m Jeff Hertzberg, one of the co-authors of “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.” You can post questions about our book and method to any “Comments” link at our website, at http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com, or you can post them right here… I’ll be checking out Jaden’s site for the forseeable future!
Someone above asked about sourdough. Our doughs begin to take on sourdough characteristics toward the second half of their storage cycle in the refrigerator. But if you want to jumpstart the sourdough process, there are two things you can do:
1. Don’t wash out your mixing vessel (bucket or bowl). That way, you save a bit of time, AND you’ll be seeding your new stuff with pre-fermented dough that has some sour characteristics already.
2. Save about a half-cup of dough from your last batch and throuw it into your water for the new batch. Same idea as #1, but you’ll get a larger boost of flavor.
Someone else asked about whether the bread could save their marriage. Hmm. All I can say is that people really notice it when you do something beautiful for them. Really.
Jeff Hertzberg http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com
I need this cookbook as I’m 6 months pregnant today and my ass lives for carbs. Plus it will help save the environment-honest! If I can make them myself then my husband will save on gas money by not needing to drive around to fufill my cravings.
(It was worth a try, wasn’t it? 😉 )
Yeah, gotta wipe the drool off the keyboard … else that’s TWO $60 keyboards of mine YOU have ruined inside of a week! 🙂
I LOVE the rolls at Cinnabon, to the point where I also brew some of their ground coffee at home on occasion. I’m planning on trying the recipe you’ve posted here because it looks so DAMN good!
So … just toss one of the books in the box you’re sending already … there, that’s a good girl … 😉
Arabic Za’atar Flatbread. I have a precious stash of za’atar given to me a s a gift from my cousin’s mother-in-law and this would put it to great use!
Sticky pecan caramel rolls first, then the spinach and cheese calzones. It all sounds so wonderful. Thanks!
Mmm…you had me at the Cinnamon rolls – but since Challah is on my 2008 list, I’d love to make that from this cookbook!
I’d have to go with the beignets first. I think they’d be great for my wife and I to share at work (with everyone I’m not that cruel).
I would make a chocolate crossiant type thing or use spam as filling and make my own version of baked spam manpua!
OMG, if not for my diabetes, you would have made me go make those sticky buns right here and now. But I’d love to make the peasant loaves — crusty white sandwich loaf first then baguette, ciabatta, and all the rest. I’m a weekend cook who has just started baking bread and so this book would be perfect. Andrew, I’m your No. 1 fan, please pick my name 🙂
Definately the pecan cinnamon rolls….I’ve always wanted to give breadmaking a try and this would be a wonderful book! Pick me!
I’d love to make the brioche…I’m looking for a good brioche recipe, and I loved the concept of the no-knead dough. I made the no-knead dough once, but I actually thought that the bread was rather tasteless, although the crust was brilliant. Hopefully, these recipes, with their yummy sounding additions, will be better!
I would have to make the Ciabatta. I can hardly find it any where, so having it fresh from my oven would be so nice.
by the way, andrew, you rock!!!!
I would make those orgasmic cinnamon rolls!
ooops, sorry about the drool…lol! the pics are amazing and so are you. i don’t think i have the guts to bake these, really! i truly envy all you bakers out there, the way you turn a messy, gooey-looking dough to yummy perfection! great job steamy!
Raisin Walnut Oatmeal sounds like some good eatin’!
Looks like a great book!
I’ve been looking for a Brioche recipe for ages, so that’s what I’d try first — followed by bagels, and probably a blueberry lemon curd ring (Blueberries + lemons? I can’t resist!). Any anything chocolate. And… 😉
Your sticky cinnamon rolls look soo yummmy!!
And Andrew looks soo cute as a baker boy. This book seems to be absolutely wonderful. It’s going to be so much fun baking all the recipes! I’d especially love to make the Limpa and Chocolate Raisin Babka. They sound so delicious!!!
Oooh…this might actually get me baking again…I think I’d love to try the Roasted Garlic Potato Bread, but that’s only one of many that sound delicious!
What a recipe! I have been looking for a no fuss recipe for a roll for AGES! That’s a definite MUST TRY!
Recipe from the book I would like to try: Spinach Feta, Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan loaf!!! That combi will be a killer for a dinner party I think!
I am really intrigued by this book. I think I’d have to try the Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache.
Hmm, aside from the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, I would love to make Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache (anything with chocolate right?). I’ve only tried my hand at making bread once, but I had a lot of fun with it. I’m really enjoying your posts by the way – I signed up through email a few days ago.
I would love to make almost all the breads listed but I think Sunflower Seed Breakfast Loaf sounds interesting! I love love love sunflower seeds and the idea of them in a breakfast loaf sounds too good not to try!
Love your blog (looooong time lurker)! I want to be you when I grow up :o) Okay, I’m 35 but still, you rock and I love the way you write and the food you make. I’ll go back to lurker mode now.
WOW! I immediate went to the kitchen to make the dough so I can have warm pecan rolls tomorrow morning. YUUUUMMMY.
I would also love to try to make the Swiss Muesli Breakfast bread. I must have this book! I love the fact that it’s so easy and uses the no knead bread concept. *heart*
Thanks for being such an inspiration!
Would love to try all the recipes. I just mixed up a batch of dough, and will try out the cinnamon rolls for a start. I love fresh bread!
I just had spinach and chickpea curry tonight and it was missing some kickass naan, so naan it is!
Oh dear, now I can’t stop thinking about these sticky pecan caramel cinnamon rolls… (but who said that was a bad thing?)
I’m going for the bagels. Can’t get ’em here. So, gotta make ’em. Might try the Montreal version as well. Then again I think I’ll try all the recipes I can get ingredients for!
Oh my! I am weak in the knees…yum!
I’d love to be able to have fresh breads and pastries for breakfasts. I’d start with the onion pletzel.
You had me at “Chocolate or Jam Filled Beignets”!
girl. i vowed to purge the need of sweets in my life. forever. not even chai latte from the evil coffee company. however, this post confirms my terrible desire to try these. one of Flay’s recent throw down’s was against the gal titled the world’s best sticky cinnamon roll maker. she beat him. yours look damn close. i’ll let you know how mine work out too… hmm hmm hmm. this will make up for the lacking opposite sex sweet i’m being injected! 🙂
I should point out this technique isn’t new- my grandmother had a “refrigerator dough” that kept in the fridge for weeks and which she used for everything from dinner rolls to (amazing) sticky buns. Yours look equally drool-worthy.
My first choices from the book would probably be the sweet Provencal bread with anise and the chocolate prune bread. They sound so interesting.
Oh sticky buns…my downfall. You had me at hello, but then you had to bring out the big guns. Three words and I’m all twitterpated – chocolate filled beignet. Where do I sign up!!!
Oh YUM — those rolls look incredible! There are a whole bunch from that list of recipes that I’d love to make — but I think Pine-Nut Studded Polenta Flatbread sounds just incredible. YUM!
Yum Yum Yum. I’m going to make the dough right now for tomorrow morning. Those cinnamon rolls look divine.
I’d like to do the pretzels, and the naan, and the beignets, and the Limpa, and the…
Yes. Everything.
Thank you!
~Lysne (rhymes with Disney)
Homemade pizza in less time than it takes to call and wait? That’s my idea of no-knead bread nirvana.
Couldn’t you add some nice dark shaved chocolate to the pecan rolls and really add some weight? Or, use some hazelnuts with the chocolate. Yum – tomorrow first thing, that dough is going to be made and used! And who is going to clean this keyboard?
Oh my! Oh MY! (I feel like Mr.Toad with a new motorcar!) I would probably have to start off with Roasted Garlic Potato Bread, then Spinach Feta and just go from there through the whole lot! So much for New Year’s resolutions!!
Sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan for me, please!!
Gawd! Too many scrumptious offerings to chose just one! Well, for breakfast, I’d start off with the Braided Almond Cream Pastry followed by the Philadelphia Stromboli with Sausage, Prosciutto and Olive Oil Flatbread for lunch. I think a soft pretzel would make a good mid-afternoon snack. Pizza for dinner and ending with a Brioche filled with Chocolate Ganache.
Considering, it takes so little time to make all of this deliciousness, I still have plenty of time left to work it all off at the gym!
Wow! Imagine the great quality French Toast recipes that could come from this vast selection. I’d start with the basic challah and work from there.
wow – what’s in a Portuguese Cornbread? I’d love to try that one!!
Got my Spam package yesterday – thanks so much for the goodies! 🙂
Now I have to switch gears and make cinnamon rolls. Yum!
I’d have to go with the Chocolate or Jam Filled Beignets. Because, hello…bread dough…filled with chocolate…and deep fried…mercy.
I discovered your blog through Tastespotting, originally it was the no-knead bread recipe that drew me in (I showed my 5 year old the pictures of Andrew baking, to pique his interest). Now I’m drawn back again- by more bread.
I think it’s a sign.
The recipes all look fantastic, but I must say that the Vermont Cheddar bread made my mouth water. I love a good cheese bread.
I think this sticky bun recipe might be murder on my waistline, but it’ll be worth it…
baking bread has made it impossible for me to eat store bought bread now. 🙂
i would make spinach feta bread first 🙂
Your blogs definitely put a smile on my face, cute sense of humor! Baked that rustic bread with my 3 year old son, it’s a big success. We look forward to baking more bread from your blog…what an inspiration! Waiting patiently for the Challah bread recipe, of course I could just fish for one online, but heck, your blog is more fascinating. Keep it up SK!!! Oh yes, we are going to bake the Cinnamon Rolls for tomorrow, can’t wait!
Oh that looks so tasty. I would love to make the Brioche filled with chocolate ganache… mmm…
Sigh..I guess the diet will simply have to wait. I have a soft spot for savory bread so I would definately make the pissaladiere. I can’t wait to try these recipes!
I love baking bread and hope I win one of the cookbooks. My family would love the Spinach Feta Bread. I can’t wait to make the sticky buns!
I’m so glad you made these. They look fabulous! I got this book for Xmas and I haven’t had time to make anything from it yet. Now, I guess I’ll have to make time.
That roasted garlic potato bread just sounds too good to be true. I mean, just the name!
Here in Wisconsin good bagels are thin on the ground, so I’d probably most like to try the bagels from the book. Especially if that recipe looks as easy as the sticky buns!
Naan, definitely, yum. My hubbie is from the subcontinent and although he says he is happy to be living here in the midwest eating meatloaf and other American comfort food with me, the combination of giddiness and drool that he exudes whenever we go to Indian restaurants betrays his true feelings. Although I can make some passable curries that remind him of home, every time that I have attempted naan results in cardboard-tasting frisbees of tooth-breaking rock, one of which I suspect actually broke our trash compactor… A simple, delicious, no-knead naan has the potential to save my marriage…
whoops pressed enter before I finished…so I want to see what their recipe is like.
chocolate babka, I’ve tried making it but it didn’t come out just right.
Love your posts!
Defininitely the Tapenade French loaf. Olives were made to be included in bread!
I love all the recipes you have listed, Jaden. But ‘Sweet Provencal Flatbread with Anise Seeds’ and ‘Panettone’ call to me. Sticky buns look so good. But Andrew looks a lot sweeter than those rolls 🙂
I just might go off of my diet to make these cinnamon rolls!!!!!
I just might go off of my diet to make these cinnamom rolls!!!!!
How ’bout the Arabic Za’atar Flatbread? I recently picked up some Za’atar, and it’s been sitting all lonely and unused in my cupboard (I don’t think I’ve ever actually written that word out before… cup. board. huh…) waiting for some flatbread or some… uh… (?) something else to be sprinkled on. It’s not for me. Really. It’s for the poor, lonely, hyper-specific, trendy herb/spice mix. Pining away. In the dark. Alone and friendless. 🙁
OH MY GAWWDDD!! I just got myself one of those really nice + see through keyboard for my computer and you just made my drool all over it!!! May I send you the bill for the damage?!!! OMG! If you are my friend (as in I can go to house and gooble down the food you made) you would have to stand in front of all the food with a whip to stop me from scavenging away all the stuff ..lol…
OH boy! I forgot about the contest!! WOOHOOO… i love contests !! (even though i usually NEVER won nething from such stuff) tehehehe…. the “Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache” definetely win my heart!! it’s not that i need another one of those calorie filled bomb (esp. knowing that it will go STRAIGHT to my thighs!)but hey ..I always break the rules!! bwahahah…
anyways …hope i win this!! PICK ME PICK ME!!
CHEERS and have a good day!
Cecilia
NOOOOO!!!!!!!
It’s too tempting. Sweet sticky pecan bread…
I would be excited to get the Challah bread recipe; I’ve never made it before. I spend way too much money on buying the Publix bakery Challah.
Can I come over for a bite:-) I think I will bake your post with or without the book…but of course would love the book:-) First up…cinnamon rolls!!!
My oh my, I would be in bread heaven if that book lived in my house. The Raisin Walnut Oatmeal would be first out of the oven, but the cinnamon rolls would be a close second.
What kind of chocolate bribe are we talking here?
Oh my, that looks delicious! Let me get a paper towel to wipe the drool off my keyboard here…
I would try making either the pizza or the foccacia with onion and rosemary.
At first glance I thought that was a smoked brisket. Then my heart sank when I found it was not. I don’t have a sweet tooth, it’s a meat tooth.
Whar’s yer other banner, thingy. ?
Biggles
oooooooooooooooooooooh… *wipes off drool”
darn you Jaden!!! why are all your recipes and photos so enticing!!!
i’m off to scavenge in my pantry for the ingredients and if i don’t have them all, i’ll go grocery shopping tomorrow – and i just took an oath to lose five kilos… drat you!!!
i’d definitely go for either of the “caramelized onions and herbs dinner rolls or the Braided Raspberry Almond Cream Pastry…
sheesh. temptation is everywhere!!!
but i wouldn’t mind falling prey to this one!!! *hinthint*
From the flatbreads/pizza section, I want to make the Sweet Provencal Flatbread with Anise Seeds.
Wow those look amazing! Great to see your son earning getting involved. He’s so adorable.
I think I’d love to see how the Sunny Side up Apricot Pastry would turn out.
The Vermont Cheddar bread sounds awesome! Thank goodness DH doesn’t eat pecans or I would make those in a heartbeat!
Throwing my hat in for the cookbook drawing!
Gotta try those No-Knead Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls.
Jam-filled beignets afterwards.
Roasted Garlic Potato Bread….Mmmm Mmm
OLIVE BREAD!!!!!
I would do many, many things for olive bread. Many, many very illegal things.
Must… have… the olive bread…
Thanks a lot, Jaden, I may have to go buy the book now. 🙂
Those sticky buns look so good!!! Though I kind of like kneading… From the book I think I would try the spicy pork buns first.
Brioche filled with Chocolate Ganache sounds absolutely amazing. And those pecan rolls look wonderful!
My 2008 food goal is to (successfully) make sticky pecan cinnamon rolls…you are my answer! Send cookbook:)
Noooo! My New Year’s resolution is to lay off the bread basket! Now I will have to try the ciabatta and the focaccia and the cinnamon buns!
I’ve made my fair share of cinnamon rolls, but none that sound as easy as this!! I would definitely be making this recipe – and load on the caramel for the sticky buns!!
Soft Style American White — homemade sandwich bread here I come! And maybe I could sub in a little whole wheat flour for some extra flavor.
Also pita bread I haven’t done yet – and those cinnamon rolls look delicious too! Quick, get me the book so I can start baking. :0)
man, you are making me soooo hungry!!!
I would love to start making bread. My mom used to make baguettes when i was a kid and my great-grandmother made the best rolls – no one has ever been able to repilcate them – she was one of those dash of this little of that bakers…
Anyways… I would totally love to make the Pain d’Epi, Batard, Naan and Cinnamon Raisin Bread… certainly would be a huge step up from the popovers that I do make – they are gawd-awful easy!
thanks and I am gonna try out the recipe shortly!
I’m dying for the Vermont Cheddar Bread–nothing better with a hot bowl of homemade soup, like beef veggie or potato. Yum! I’m hungry already-of course, my husband is dying for something a little sweeter to go with cinnamon sugar toast; maybe I’ll compromise if I win and bake him some of the beignets to remind him of our honeymoon!
I recently learned that I am allergic to nightshade vegetables and dairy… which means one of my favorite foods of ALL TIME is a no no for me now: PIZZA.
Surely, there must be something I can have that is reminiscent?
My oh my, but that prociutto and olive oil flatbread looks TEMPTING!
So, that is the first thing I would make. Except I’d use my friend’s homemade sorpresa she gave me 🙂
I’ve been dreaming about those Cinnabon rolls epecially as I am in a part of the world that doesn’t have a franchise. Will definitely make the caramel pecan rolls as soon as I detach myself from the drool that has congealed on my computer table. Thanks for the cookbook offer – but even without it your site rocks!
Definitely the pissaladiere!
Jaden, sweet and gooey turns me on! Those pecan rolls are first on my list. So many other tantalizing choices! The Jam Filled Beignets, the Sunny Side up Apricot Pastry, and the Apple & Pear Coffee Cake all look like winners. I love your website and look forward to your emails. Excellent writing and photographs.
i cannot choose only one!!!! i wanna try the arabian za’atar flatbread, the naan, and the moorocan anise and barley flatbread…but then you have to have something sweet, so i would need the brioche filled with chocolate ganache! mmm…’kay, i’m drooling again!
Those caramel pecan rolls look like they would make a great breakfast for me…I’m starving!!! The Limpa sounds great, and I’ve never had it…but the honey and orange zest sounds great!
Must. Have. This. Cookbook! (Not that I need *much* coaxing to get a new cookbook, but thanks for the wonderful pics and description!) I can’t wait to try these cinnamon rolls, the challah, naan, and Sunny Side up Apricot Pastry!!
Pumpernickel Date and Walnut bread. Yep, I think I’ll start with that one! I grew up on pumpernickel bread slathered in cream cheese and red onions. I haven’t been able to make a decent pumpernickel at home, but maybe, just maybe this is the one that changes it all!
Thanks for sharing the sticky pecan rolls! Love the no kneading – hate cleaning the mixer.
Ummm…Did you say Challah?
I’d like to try the calzone and flatbread recipes. I love your photographs. Thanks for introducing us to another great cookbook!
I already have this book — just got it, in fact — and I haven’t had time to try any of the recipes yet, so thanks for testing and posting about it. Now I’m anxious to dive right in. Unless you have any of those cinna-buns left over…..
Would love to try your calzones and flatbread recipes. I love your photographs! Thanks for introducing us to this cookbook!
So, should I sue you or Jeff and Zoe if I gain 5 lbs just looking at those cinnamon rolls ;).
I think I will be making lot of Spinach and cheese calzones. Thats a family favorite :).
OHHHHHHH Running off to the store to buy honey. Also buying the book!
Thanks for your helpful review and new recipe leads. The Pho was fantastic, btw. Lunch again today!
Wow, I’m a fan of the No Knead bread version made by your dear little boy…sometimes add raisins, too. His photo kissing the dough goodnight always makes me smile.

Hubba-hubba! Those are some gorgeous buns you’ve got there! They would be my first choice. “Would”? I mean, they ARE! The butter is out softening up right now. Next choice? Braided Raspberry Almond Creme Pastry, ’cause nuts are so healthy…we all need more nuts in our diet. Great book report, Jaden…you get an A+.
One word to describe it: insane!
I can’t wait to read your secrets to photography…your pictures are just like you, gorgeous!
The sticky rolls look incredible and I have that book on my Amazon wishlist!
I’d start with the naan recipe first, because after Asian food, Indian food is my favorite ethnic cuisine. I make a killer chana saag, but I’ve never managed to find a recipe for naan I like or that I can make relatively quickly.
My boyfriend read this and said, “Ooo, Vermont Cheese Bread?” with a gleam in his eye, so that’ll be second, lol.
it’s a toss up between the garlic rosemary and the cinnamon rolls (I’d have to omit the pecans, because my Freaky Consort is allergic to nuts)
It would be fun to make pretzels with this! Mine would probably come out looking like mutants, but if they taste good, what the heck!
It’s funny how this cookbook is sweeping the blogosphere. I’m seeing it everywhere. So of course I want it.
Oh my gosh. I would gain about 20 lbs I think. I love sweet breads but those salty ones are calling my name for sure.
I think I’d have to make the focaccia for my husband first but follow it up quickly with the stromboli for myself.
MmmMm 🙂
The pictures look wonderful! My mom absolutely loves Cinnabon pecan rolls so I think I’ll be making this for her later today… 🙂 Thanks for the preview Jaden~
me I’d try the Vermont Cheddar Bread,or the Caramelized Onion & Herb Dinner Rolls as we like dinner breads and breakfast breads too so the cinnamon rolls are gonna get tried tomorrow….
I truly believe this book is the answer to my prayers. I worship at the altar of the oven. But as of late, I have lapsed in my devotion.
Jaden, I can’t believe you’re doing this to me! I have been in firm negotiations with my body to start a diet on January 21st! Lemme see.. how many of these can I make before then? Well, I’m from New Orleans, so the beignets are a no brainer. I would definitely go for those first, and then, for the same reason, the Braided Raspberry Almond Cream Pastry sounds like it would make a perfect King Cake. Would just have to sprinkle on the purple, green, and gold sugars to make the traditional Mardi Gras delicacy. After that, it will definitely be diet time, BUT.. I have a sneaking suspicion that ALL of the pizza/flatbread recipes will work there as well. Also, I’m in love with the idea that I can pinch off enough to make one roll if I dang well feel like it! Thanks for steering us to this one, girl!
Umm…all of them! I love baking bread, but I never make the time to anymore. And I think I’d start with the pannettone. I’ve always been intrigued by them in their half-fruitcake/half-sweetbread glory. But if it has citron in it, I’m swapping that horrible stuff out with candied ginger and lemon peel!
Spinach Feta Bread.
I had a great recipe for this, but I’ve lost it.
Omg! I finally gave in an tried the recipe and it’s amazing. I *must* try this!
Some of my 2008 goals include bread items such as challah and bagels…so I would make those…but then there are things like Sweet Provencal Flatbread with Anise Seeds, Brioche Filled with Chocolate Ganache, Chocolate Bread, Sunflower Seed Breakfast Loaf which all catch my eye. I *will* be making these sticky pecan caramel cinnamon rolls though!
I’d love to make the chocolate bread, and serve it warm with a smear of good raspberry preserves.
Are you mad, woman?!? I would make those Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls. Those things look better than sex. And, then, I’d definitely have to make some of those jam filled beignets. And then some ciabatta bread for my pannini press because, well, that stuff’s just easy and yummy.
And then some of the flat breads…
Oh hell. I’d make everything, and I wouldn’t stop until I was fat and happy.
OMG! I need this book! I love bread and there are no decent artisnal bakeries here. Publix and Atlanta Bread Co do not count. I’ve been dreaming about fresh long skinny baguettes all week. In fact I’m off to pick up more flour and make some bread tonight. So how big of a bucket do you need to keep in your fridge, and do you have a spare fridge in your garage or basement for prep foods? ‘Oh honey…. We need to remodel the kitchen this spring… Oh and we need to make half the first floor into a kitchen. I’m gonna need that Sub Zero fridge, we saw last month.’ Seriously, this is when my husband starts to wonder about me, when he asks how much fridge does a family of 3 need. Oh man, the calories in that one roll, that should be the daily count.
I LOVE all kinds of bread but am too lazy to spend much time making it. Bread! Bread! Bread!
Brioche a Tete for me. Making brioche is somewhat complicated, not to mention with no-knead method! I cannot wait to see the recipe!!
I’d love to try the soft pretzels. Then I can stop making those (almost) exclusive trips to the mall to just to buy them from those commercial places.
Sad, but true.
Wow, they all sound good. I’m thinking the sun dried tomato & parmesan. yumm….
How does one go wrong with Roasted Garlic Potado Bread? Major Yum!
I have heard quite a bit about this book. So far all good things. My free search of the book was so tempting.
Your buns look fantastic and hot. But you knew that!
I would like to try the Philadelphia Stromboli with sausage bread. Sounds intriguing.
(I hope I win, I hope I win, I hope I win! Are you accepting bribes? No?)
The roasted garlic potato bread sounds yummy….we love garlic and we love bread…..no carb phobic people in this house.
Those cinnamon caramel pecan rolls will be on my table for breakfast tomorrow morning.
Thanks a lot.
Wow…this makes my cereal look like cat food (which my cat will love to hear…)!
Long time drooler, first time poster. That book looks incredible! I keep telling myself to make balanced meals (i.e. no cereal for dinner) and this book may just be the ticket to me eating an alternative all-carb diet! Hey, throw in some pecans, raisins, or chocolate, and the diet is instantly “balanced”! 🙂
I am so tempted by the Limpa, and making rye crackrs has been on my things to make before I die list so I am intrigued by that one as well.
What a great book… I love no knead.
Just added your blog to bloglines last night (found it through a link to your Pho Ga) and can I just add my drool to the list. Do I have to pick just one? I’d love to make Ciabatta coz I buy it all the time.. great for vegemite sandwiches (cue Men at work)
I think I’ll have to try and get my hands on a copy, there are too many delicious sounding bread types. Do you think there would be a possibility to change some into sourdough bread? The Blueberry Lemon Curd Ring, with a sourdough basis, would be heavenly…
Raisin Oatmeal for me! The no-knead part, pulls me in every time! I love making bread, it’s great therapy and I’d love to add this book to my collection!
I’d love to try the Raisin Walnut Oatmeal bread. We love oatmeal with raisins for breakfast in the winter. Sounds great!
That looks very, very yummy. And the Limpa sounds like something I’d love. I love bread, I love honey, and I love oranges. And I’m scandenavian, to boot!
I think stashing a small horde of dough in the fridge is a fantastic idea, too. Now to just clean it out a little…
Do I have to pick just one? They all look soooo good. (Mr. Food reference…) The Brioche with chocolate ganache kinda made me go all scooby head for a minute… “Baroo???”
I’m not a big fan of bread, but my mother is…though the sticky pecan caramel cinnamon rolls may be just the thing to get me hooked!
Keep up the good work on your blog, I always get a good laugh..and have a great year!
Could you also include a hanky as one of the prizes because I’m drooling. Goodness! I’m reading just after a late dinner and I can feel my mouth working overtime! Flooding my mouth with seas of saliva!
That Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls really whets my appetite. I’m more inclinde to try my hand at Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Maybe modify a little to make rolls or add some nuts. The possibility is really endless.
Thanks for organising the contest! Hope that I can win the prize 🙂
Cheers!
I want to try the Chocolate Prune bread and I somehow want to incorporate Armagnac!
Don’t knock prunes…
i LOVE challah, to be able to make it in 25 minutes would be phenomenal! that’s even less time than it would take to get to the farmer’s market to pick up a loaf.
your little sous chef did a great job!
This is not the site to read in the morning before breakfast!! Now I HAVE to go out and get cinnamon buns. Do you think PJs would be acceptable attire for my nearest mall?
Probably a better breakfast choice would be Swiss Muesli Breakfast Bread. That’s what I would try…right after the Sticky Cinnamon Rolls.
Oh, what’s not to love about Roasted Garlic Potato Bread? That might be the secret weapon in the arsenal for seducing all those bread-phobic Atkins types back to the true path…
OMG I’m drooling. I’ve been thinking about sticky buns for weeks now and trying to fight the urge as I know the boyfriend won’t eat any (some craziness about not liking sweets, go figure) and I’m afraid I might eat the whole batch on my own! The check is in the mail 😉
The sticky pecan rolls would definitely be my first recipe from the book, but the caramelized onion and herb dinner rolls, bagels and prosciutto and olive oil flatbread are also calling my name…
I have to find this book!
Your sticky pecan caramel cinnamon rolls look so yummy. I would try to make the Caramelized Onion & Herb Dinner Rolls. It sounds like something I would really love.
This sounds like a phenomenal book! I’m always looking for bread making shortcuts (you know besides picking up loaves from the bakery) since I’m really an abysmal bread maker.
Your sticky buns look scrumdiddlyumptious! Obviously your little helper is an accomplished baker 😉
When I have a chance to pick up that book I’m definitely going to try the Vermont Cheddar Bread.
