Gluten-Free Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day is released (scroll down for reviews)
After a long year of testing, writing, and thinking about gluten-free bread, Gluten-Free Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day was released on, October 21, 2014, available in independent bookstores, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and all the online sellers, all over the U.S. (and actually, the world).
Cloches (French for “bell”) are stoneware enclosures that preheat beautifully and create a great result in home ovens, and they’re great for gluten-free bread just as much as my wheat loaves (they can of course be used with either). Much more information about using cloches is here on the website (posted about this last year, and also in 2009).
Reviews:
From New York Magazine’s “Nine Best Gluten-Free Cookbooks”: “… impressed with how many yeast doughs they mastered… process photos to help illustrate proper technique, making it a great option for beginners.”
From Living Without’s favorite books: “… quick artisan breads, no kneading, no proofing, not punching down… You’ll be on your way to delicious bread in no time.”
Living Free’s Gluten Free & More Magazine
“For gluten-free bread that tastes like it came from a European bakery, it’s worth the wait.”
“…I baked a flatbread for a gluten-free friend–and no one suspected it was not its floury cousin… the book’s recipes for blending your own gluten-free flours are easy and fail-safe.”
From Huffington Post’s “best cookbook gifts for the cooks and food lovers on your list”–the number one book in 2014: “Gluten-free? No worry… you can now make and enjoy pizzas and focaccia … flatbreads, soft pretzels and beignets, coffee cakes, brioches…
“Hertzberg and Francois offer foolproof recipes for (gluten-free) bread…”
“It was a sad day in [our] household when my husband… learned he had a gluten allergy… After a few practice loaves, we’re turning out small boules and baguettes that are light and flavorful… a lovely loaf of bread.”
Midwest Living
“The recipes make you wonder why you use wheat when such fabulous bread can be made without it… We can personally vouch for the doughnuts. OMG.
Minneapolis City Pages
“This method removes so many steps from the usual bread-baking process that homemade gluten-free bread every day is not only possible, it’s easy.”
“What if your home could be filled with the sweet aroma of a French bakery? And what if baking bread only took about 5 minutes of preparation time? To make matters more interesting, what if the bread was gluten-free?… Gluten-free bread in five minutes, yes you can.”
“Some of you mentioned that this sounds too good to be true… I assure you it isn’t. This friends, is the real deal… a total lifesaver, a real gem and it needs to be in your cookbook collection. Know someone gluten free? Give them this book and quickly become their hero.”
“I’ve long been a lover of their approach… and this is no exception… fantastic… If you’re gluten-free, you really don’t have to live a life without great bread.”
“… I am one happy gluten-free foodie! … I love this cookbook because it includes everything I ever dreamt about enjoying again and more! … recipes are so easy and I have to say that it was love at first bite.”
“What if your home could be filled with the sweet aroma of a French bakery? And what if baking bread only took about 5 minutes of preparation time? To make matters more interesting, what if the bread was gluten-free?… Gluten-free bread in five minutes, yes you can.”
“… a dream to someone who longs for homemade, freshly baked gluten-free goods… it’s already changed my entire gluten-free baking game!”
“I made gluten-free bread and it didn’t suck… It was beautiful!!!… Also it tasted very good. My gluten-free [Thanksgiving] table, for mostly non-gluten-free people, really enjoyed it. It was not grainy; it was moist and had that crunchy outer layer.”
“… looks and sounds too good to be true, that is, until you try the recipes and see for yourselves: gluten-free bread works… up to their usual high standards… another wonderful bread book… no commercial gluten-free bread will come close to theirs.”

How wonderful to be able to have fresh breads that are gluten free.. I would love to have this for my daughter…
Awesome news. Can’t wait for it! Thanks for the update ;-D
Although I’m not gluten-free, many of my friends have chosen to be. I want to be able to bake for them. I know your recipes will be high quality.
Can’t wait to try this book! I know a lot of people who eat gluten free for various reasons and it will be nice to easily bake bread for them as well.
I preordered the book! Yeah!
Congrats on the new book. Can’t wait to check it out. I’ve had a lot of fun learning how to make bread using your method.
Thanks for the note.
Congrats on the new book! I’ve been waiting for that Amazon box now for awhile. 🙂 I’m looking forward to trying some new recipes.

Thanks for the note.
How exciting! Congrats on the new book, and I hope I can make some amazing breads for my sister, who is gluten-free. Thanks so much 🙂
Congratulations on the new book!! I wonder if my favorite will remain “Almost Rye” teff bread 🙂 Would love to have the cloche!!!
I am so excited for this book. I have a couple of friends whose daughters have Celiac, and I look forward to being able to gift the loaves that the whole family can enjoy.

That cloche is so pretty!
Way to go, Zoe! Can’t wait to see the new cookbook!
Would love to try this out! We had bad luck getting the gf dough to rise before, but an instructional guide like this and a special baking pot would probably do the trick!
Wow! Looking forward to the book!
I can’t wait for the book!
the New No Knead bread book is fantastic – and now the same styles can be used to make breads for the gluten free crows. I am looking forward to it.
The cloche would be a great addition to my bread making. Congratulations on your new book.
With so many of my friends and coworkers being gluten intolerant, the new book will be a wonderful addition to my bread baking. And if I would win a Cloche, that would make my day!! Keep up the great work on all your cookbooks.
Love these recipes! .
We don’t avoid gluten so this book will be the first of yours that I won’t buy… but I love your blogs and would sure like to get this cloche 🙂
Oh my, I’m so excited for your book! Before I had to go GF I used your basic boule recipe almost on a daily basis. I can’t wait to make some bread from this new book.
I would love to win!
would love to win this version of your book, have made so much with the regular version of artisan!
This would be a great addition to my kitchen!
Looking forward to the new book!
Would love to try baking bread in a cloche! I almost bought one yesterday, so hopefully I will win one in this contest!
What fabulous news!
I’m planning to give your new book to several people as a holiday gift and would LOVE one of these cloches! Congratulations!
Congratulations on the new book. I’m looking forward to it!
I am so excited about this new book. I have all your others, but just this year I’ve developed a sensitivity to wheat. Thank you for your time and effort developing recipes that are gluten-free. I am sure they are going to be as wonderful as all your others!
Congratulations, going to order now.
That cloche is gorgeous. Would love to win one. Can’t wait to read your book!
This bread was such a great discovery! It’s perfect for those times you are ‘time’ challenged. I would love that cloche!!
That looks amazing!
I would love to try some new recipes. I love how easy the bread recipes are and the final product always comes out good!!
My sister in law has been dealing with infertility for years. she has gone GF to see how it helps. Her family is from France and she really misses bread. I would love to be able to give this set to her!!
Way to go! Fresh homemade bread! Thanks for your books.
I made your gluten free recipe from HB in 5 for a relative and I was very surprised by the result. If I had not known gluten free I probably would not have guessed. Walt
Looking forward to making delicious bread for my gluten-free friends who have given up on the possibility of good bread in their lives…
I would love to win this!!!! Love all of your books!
Congrats on the new book!! Looks great!
I am so excited. Can’t wait for a copy of your new book.
I love your artisan in 5 cookbooks and am looking forward to downloading this one too! I love to bake bread! It’s so comforting.
My wife had been a frequent baker of breads from the previous books, but now we have a couple of family members with Celiac disease. It’s been tough to adjust to the GF breads, but we’re hopeful this book will make a difference. 🙂
I have lusted after some of your regular bread recipes! So thrilled you now have a Gluten Free Cookbook for the REST of us!
So excited. My husband loves making your recipes and now I could eat them 🙂
Fantastic! The book looks wonderful, and Emile Henry “anything” is awesome.
I would love to win one!!
