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.”

I had pre-ordered the book and it arrived the day it was released. I have the first book and have used it for years and love it. We had to go gluten and dairy free this year and I have been anxious to try your version since the first book was the best bread cookbook I have ever used. Can’t wait to make my first loaf. Thanks!!
Just received my book yesterday and already have the all purpose flour in the fridge. I will bake my first gluten free loaf later on today! This book looks as promising as all your others. I am so glad to put it to good use!
Oops, I forgot to say bread!! Oh well. 🙂 good luck everyone!
I’d love to win this beautiful cloche! I know it would inspire me to do even more bread baking. Thank you for sharing your techniques which have helped me learn to bake homemade breads.
Beautiful cloche!
I am so excited to get my copy of this book! It feels like it has been forever since I have had real bread. Would love to start out right with this cloche. Pick me, pick me, pick me!
Can’t wait to take a look at this book!
Hi! I have been using your wheat bread recipe for a few months now and love it! So does my husband who eats honestly a loaf every 2 days (big bread family). We have cousins who are celiac and I haven’t liked any gluten free recipes I’ve tried so far. Am trying yours for the first time today so I am very excited. Thanks for all your work!
I’d love to have one of those !
This would be a wonderful way to start baking my first gluten free breads. I’ve baked many of your recipes from ABin5 but had to cut back on bread for myself because I just would eat way too much freshly baked bread. However, my son, who has been battling cancer for several years needs to seriously change his diet. So I’m going to try to find some healthier breads for him.
Hi,
My wife recently needed to go gluten free so we bought your new book. FYI we have the Emile Henry Baguette Baker and it works really well with your gluten free baguette recipe, BUT only if you use parchment paper (as I learned from your older post here about using parchment paper in the Emile Henry Cloche). Without the parchment paper the my baguettes stuck like they are part of the mold, so be careful. With parchment paper they came out are as good as if they were baked in Paris. I Love Emile Henry bake ware, and I don’t own the cloche yet, so please enter me in the contest, and thank you for all the information in your book and this companion site.
All the best from New York,
James & Faye
We have 2 of your cook books and make all our bread using your recipes (except for 1 we adapted to work like yours)
I have a loaf ready to go in the oven and I was just thinking I wish I had a cloche. It would be great to win one.
Anyway, I love the bread and my family won’t let us buy store bought bread anymore. It’s just not as good.
Keep up the good work.
Lovely cloche! And I’m excited for the book!
Would love this for my daughter with a new baby, would be quick bread making for a busy Mom and Dad!! She gets the book for Christmas!! I’m excited to try it with her! Great info! Thank you!!
Love your books, and that cloche would be so fun to bake with! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’ve been coveting the cloche online, just haven’t had the guts to buy one yet. I love my Dutch oven for breads, but this would be amazing.
Beautiful Cloche!! Love your first book, and have too much fun making breads now. Thank you for a chance to get both of these.
Just got the New Artisan Bread book and just make my first batch of boule. Absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to get the Gluten-Free book. I’m officially hooked!
I just started baking bread and would love to win this cloche! Thanks Jeff and Zoe for the great books!
Congrats on the book. Beautiful cloche! I would love to win one.
Ohh, that’s a beautiful cloche. Would love to win it.
Been cooking gluten free since 2005 for my son. Just bought your new book and can’t wait to try the recipes. I would love a chance to win a cloche like that to bake your bread recipes in!
The cloche looks like a great addition to any ABin5 kitchen! So glad you’ve added a GF to the books/technique.
What a lovely prize! I have the other version of this book (Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day). I didn’t realize they were coming out w/a GF versioN!
Help! Al
l of my attempts at making GF breads have left me seeking out a large boat owner who has lost their anchor…my GF bread could easily be used for one! The weight and the texture is just all
WRONG. I am in desperate need of professional help! Perhaps your cook- book and Emile Henry’s bread cloche giveaway are just what the bread doctor ordered.
Congrats on the book! Thanks for the great giveaway!
love your books and can’t wait to try gluten free.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great prize
Love baking bread daily!!
How beautiful! I would so enjoy winning the cloche.
Would inspire me to bake more often.
Looking forward to your new book.
Congrats!
I didn’t even know the le was a GF Artisan Bread book coming out! How thrilling!!
I have purchased all your books and LOVE them. I haven’t made a loaf of bread or pizza my husband didn’t like! I can’t wait to try out some of these gluten free recipes, I know they’ll be amazing!
Can’t wait to see this book!
I’m excited to see this book
Have been eyeing that cloche for a while now, would love to try it out with the new recipes!
I wouldove to win this. I have not had any luck with making bread. Thank you!
i absolutely loved your first two books, but when I had to go gluten free I’ve been in search of really good bread… Can’t wait to get this book. The cloche would be a huge bonus!
your books are amazing! I would love to win the new one!
Great giveaway!
Would love this!
Will definitely be looking into buying this book.
I have your previous bread books and I enjoy using them. I am looking forward to trying even more of your recipes. Congratulations on the new book!
Love your recipes and books, and think I would love baking with a cloche! Thanks for the opportunity!
I’ve been eyeing this cloche for a couple of years now so would love love to try it out with the new gluten free recipes!
Love,love,love, your bread is the best
Can’t wait to try some of the recipes in the new book.
After purchasing the new ABin5 book a few weeks back, and posting photos of my efforts on Facebook to rave reviews, I’m now trying the light whole wheat version and have the first loaf rising as I type. Can’t wait to expand my repertoire with gluten free versions: I have teff, amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, and rye flours waiting in the cupboard for their debut!
So excited for the new book! I have baked so much beautiful bread from the first book and can’t wait to try the gluten free versions!!!
Love your other books. Can’t wait to try the recipes in the new. A cloche would be a wonderful addition to my kitchen!
I have been collecting all my gluten free fours and gaining my confidence for gluten free baking. I know I will be able to do it once I get your cookbook tomorrow. I have only been gluten free for 51 days but it has been wonderful. Hoping I am one of the lucky one to recieve the cloche.
Thank you so much for the GF Bread book! I got your first book about a month before my Celiac diagnosis, and it was heartbreaking. I am SO GLAD to be able to FINALLY be able to eat your bread! (It’s resting/preheating now.)
