The authors met in their children's music class in 2003 and wrote the best-selling Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, and Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day.
Jeff Hertzberg, M.D. grew up eating New York pizza and spent years trying to figure out how to make dough that was convenient enough to use for daily pizza, flatbreads, and loaves. But really, he just wanted to learn to throw pizza dough high into the air. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and two daughters.
Zo� Fran�ois is a pastry chef trained at the Culinary Institute of America, but she is a pizzaiola at heart. While writing Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day she traveled far and wide to eat every pizza and flatbread she could find. In addition to tossing pizzas she creates desserts on her pastry blog zoebakes.com. She lives in Minneapolis with her husband and two sons.
The authors answer questions on pizza, flatbread, and all things bread at PizzaIn5.com.
Praise for "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day "and "Healthy Bread
in Five Minutes a Day""Soon the bread will be making itself... The
crusty, full-flavored loaf that results may be the world's easiest
yeast bread." --The New York Times"If man cannot live by bread
alone, it may be because Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois didn't
publish their book sooner... [They've] developed a method that
makes any home into a mini artisan bake shop... Hertzberg and
Francois' practical, common-sense method... is, quite simply,
genius." --Robin Mathers Jenkins, Chicago Tribune.".. even people
who've spent their lives avoiding the kitchen can whip up a loaf of
bread in five minutes..." --The Today Show.".. a book that has
eliminated that marathon of prep and angst... the aroma's

Splendid Table radio show, 12/15/2007.".. whenever we need bread, I
just dip into the container, pull out some dough, let it rest a bit
and then bake a loaf, rolls, or pizza. This method is amazingly
simple--and creates authentic European-style fresh bread... The
cost? about 40 cents for a one-pound loaf!" --Woman's Day
Magazine

line, I would crawl across a desert of broken glass to hop into
their loaf pan..." --Andrew Zimmern, Travel Channel host, food
writer and radio personality ..".it's a vast improvement over the
laborious process of making artisan breads using classic methods...
in their new book, Hertzberg and Francois have gone one step
further... baking breads that use less sugar, healthy grains,
fruits and vegetables, and are friendly to those with allergies or
food sensitivities..." --Associated Press ..".you can make
high-quality homemade bread. There's no need to knead or be held
