How to Make a 2-pound Loaf
In Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day and Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day I suggested baking a 1-pound loaf and gave detailed instructions for making this smallish bread. It seems like a nice size loaf for a family of 4 to eat in a day. On some occasions you may want to bake […]
Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Pizzette
The concept for these little pizza/tarts came from a family recipe. My cousin, Riad Nasr, is a world class chef and quite often the source of inspiration in my kitchen. He practices his craft in New York City at a line-up of crazy-popular restaurants including Pastis, Minetta Tavern and Balthazar. Several years ago he wrote […]
Secrets of Cracker Crust Pizza, plus, our TV segment with Saturday Night Live’s Colin Quinn
This cracker crust pizza is so thin and crackly that light shines through it! It’s much easier to achieve perfection with this Tuscan specialty than you might think. Plus, our TV segment in Charlotte, North Carolina, with former Saturday Night Live cast-member Colin Quinn.
Braided Flatbread Challah
An interviewer recently asked me, “what’s new in your pizza & flatbread book that you didn’t already cover in “Artisan Bread…” and in “Healthy Bread…”? My answer: A lot! Like how ’bout this Braided Challah Flatbread that requires zero resting time before it goes into the oven? Braided enriched loaves like these are integral parts […]
Stuffed Naan

It is a non-traditional way of creating the classic Indian flatbread, and it is incredibly fast and tasty. In Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day we decided to one-up ourselves and create a stuffed naan, […]
Pizza with ricotta, arugula, eggplant, and tomato. Lots and lots of vegetables.
This was lunch today. If you want to get more vegetables into your diet (or sneak it into someone else’s), pizza is the way to do it. Nobody ever turns down homemade pizza. Here’s a vegetable pizza with lots of arugula baked right in, so this is different from what we did with arugula in […]
Secrets of Sicilian Style Pizza Crust
(photo Mark Luinenburg) Growing up in New York in the 1960s and 70s, there were two options when you walked into a pizza place: “regular” (thin-crust) baked right on the hearth, or “Sicilian” (thick-crusted), baked in a pan. I’m fairly certain I didn’t know where Sicily actually was, and my parents were partial to “regular,” […]
Apple Strudel Bread
It is apple season again, one of the best times of the year. In MN we are blessed with a bevy of apple choices, which makes baking so exciting. When I make a recipe with apples I like to combine them for flavor, texture and color. In HBin5 we feature apples in our Strudel Bread, […]
Zucchini Flatbread with Roasted Tomato and Pine Nuts for the Minneapolis Bread Festival
Sometimes you just don’t know when to leave well enough alone. This savory flatbread was in Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day (2009), and I was making it tonight as a side dish for a simple baked Coho Salmon with dill. I’m back on a pizza and flatbread kick again, since our new pizza […]
