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.”

Who knew? I wasn’t aware of cloches for bread
I have your first 5 min a day book and totally enjoyed the experience but being a bread fanatic and health conscious I had reservations about consuming so much wheat. Voila! Three days ago I saw your new gluten-free book and and here it sits on my kitchen table . I’m anticipating a new adventure with gluten free artisan bread baking. Thank you! My only suggestions might be to include some discussion on grinding your own flours for these breads to make th process more economical. Ed A
We have your other book and would love to add this one, and the cloche of course, to our library!
Congratulations on the culmination of what must have been a lot of hard work.
i am evangelical about your master recipe, i tell everyone about how easy and delicious it is, and have given your books as gifts SO MANY TIMES! i am so excited that four copies of your gluten free book are due to arrive today as gifts for my GF-sister and some friends.
Finally some hope of bread again in my diet! Looking forward to the book whether or not I win it. Thank you!
This looks fantastic.
Can’t wait to give this a try!
I’m excited that this new book is coming out. I have the others and we love making this type!
I love the red cloche & bread!!!
I had never heard of making bread in a cloche. I’ve made homemade bread tons of times but I would love to try an easier way using the cloche and the recipes in your book. Very cool.
I’ve always wanted to try a cloche. I wonder if it comes out similar to a dutch oven? Only it looks much easier to use.
I’d never heard of a cloche before!
I found your first book at the local library and really enjoyed working with your recipes. You have shared methods that perfectly fit on our busy schedules without compromising quality or flavors.
I am so excited to try out your new book! What a beautiful cloche!
I am super excited about this new gluten free cookbook. I also plan in using this cookbook with my high school students!.
I’m so excited about the new release of the Gluten-Free Artison Bread in Five Minutes a Day cookbook!!!!! I just found out about it by accident when looking through Instagram for healthy food inspiration.
I looked up your website, read all about the new book & watched the video of your Television Interview. Then I just had to order one for each of my two adult daughters as gifts! Both have severe stomach problems. One even has been tested & confirmed to have a severe wheat allergy! She just loves fresh baked goods, especially bread.
I also ordered the ebook for myself to download onto my iPad immediately so I could get the supplies & start baking healthy Grainfree breads for my teenage son & myself!
I am looking forward to adding your delicious breads to our daily meals on our journey to a healthier lifestyle. Thank you for all the hard work you put into researching & experimenting many long hours to share with us these wonderful recipes & making it easier to get rid of the ingredients that irritate our health issues.
This bread baking accessory looks like it would be an awesome addition to my baking equipment! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge & expertise with us cooking novices so we too can enjoy the benefits of these great techniques you two have come up with so we also can enjoy Artisan Breads in our own homes!
I just got your book today and can’t wait to get everything together to try my first loaf! With four of us gluten free baking at home is a must! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
A cloche is a great way to bake bread! Should be really great for someone.
can’t wait to start baking from this book!
I got excited when I saw that my payment had been processed, I felt like a kid waiting for Christmas! now I have the book and I’m reading it like a novel and drooling as I envisage the finished baked goods. I am also looking forward to my celiac-daughter’s reaction to being able to eat a soft brie or camembert with a crusty bageutte or mop up the garlicky both after a bowl of Moules mariniere, as she did before celiac. Oh the joy of bread will be back. Ploughman’s lunches with pickled onions, cheddar, branston (like) pickle and the all important doorstep sized slab of crusty bread. I am delighted with the prospects. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It was delivered on my birthday (22nd) via amazon, and it was a huge surprise from my husband. The cloche would be amazing. I’m using a terra cotta tile 🙂
I’m so excited to start using the recipes and sharing with friends who are also gluten intolerance or celiac.
My daughter is gluten sensitive. I would love to get this so I can make her bread instead of the frozen bread she buys
That sounds a great way of baking bread!
Your other books helped me recreate wonderful memories of making crusty rustic bread with my host mom in France. I was really missing this when I learned I couldn’t have gluten any more. This book brings it all back. Can’t thank you enough for your efforts for those of us who live without certain foods. Merci!
I own a VOM FASS shop in Mall of America. We sell oils, vinegars, spices, liqueurs, wines and spirits. We often do oil/ bread dipping demos, and when I just have to have some, I bake my GF bread and dip away at home. I will be looking for your. Ookbood and would love to win the cloche. Thanks for a great promotion and wishing you great success with the cookbook!
Can’t wait to make some GF bread!
Can’t wait to buy the new book
I have been GF for over three years and have basically given up on ever enjoying a crusty baguette or boule again. But…I know your other books are amazing, so I can’t wait to check this out. I have hope!! Thank you for creating this! Best of luck.
Just bought the book and my gluten free, dairy free and egg free boys are so excited!!!
I love baking fresh bread, but have never tried baking gluten-free loaves. My mother has had to switch to a GF diet for medical reasons, so I’ve tried to provide her with tasty GF desserts. I would love to be able to give her fresh GF loaves for her sandwiches and things!!
Just bought the book today, can’t wait to start baking!!
How wonderful! Emile Henry makes products with exceptional quality, just like your wonderful recipes!
I am beyond excited to see you just published this GF cookbook!
I had both your other ones and used them every week – but then my 3 year old little boy (who was very sick) was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Its been almost a year now and he is beginning to show huge improvement.
After many failed attempts at GF baking I had finaly givin up. But just this morning I felt like maybe I was ready to begin baking again – and then I saw your GF book!!! I can not wait to try it!
I just got my book in the mail today and then went to your site and saw this giveaway. What great timing!
Baking my first loaf now…can’t wait to try it!
Thank you for creating gluten-free bread recipes that actually work!
I can’t wait to try out the recipes in this book! Before I found out that I am gluten intolerant, I loved baking breads with recipes from their other cookbooks.
Would love to try a cloche!
I have been making your multigrain bread recipe and I love the taste and the texture. I also tried your gluten-free recipe a couple times. I enjoy both recipes. I haven’t bought any breads from the store ever since I found your books. Congratulations on your new book.
Love your books!
Love your books!
This will be a great resource to share with friends who have celiac disease. Keep up the great work.
LOVE the recipes and excited for a new book! I love to share the “secret”with friends……
New recipes are exciting, woot woot.
Love what you do! Thanks! laura
My mom and I have really enjoyed your first book. I’ve been eyeing a cloche for a while, and would love to win one!
I enjoy your “Healthy” bread recipes. Next I need to try a gluten free recipe. I look forward to perfecting my bread baking art.
I love your books! Looking forward to the new one!
Love all your books!!
Wow, those cloches are almost as beautiful as your bread!!!
How generous! I would LOVE to try your breads in one of these beauties!
I can’t begin to tell you how much my family and friends have enjoyed my love for ABi5! Thanks for all the great recipes and I really enjoy your website – the stories and pictures make my mouth water!
