From the authors of the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day series comes a holiday and celebration cookbook that uses the same groundbreaking quick and easy baking method.

Zoë François and Jeff Hertzberg shocked the baking world when they proved that homemade yeast dough could be stored in the refrigerator to use whenever you need it. Now, they’ve done it again with Holiday and Celebration Bread in Five Minutes a Day, a cookbook with savory, sweet, healthy, and decadent recipes for every occasion.

Every culture has its great bread traditions for holidays and celebrations―traditional Christmas loaves from Ukraine, Greece, Germany, Italy and Scandinavia; celebration breads from France and Israel; Easter breads from the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Austria to name a few. The book is chock-full of fragrant, yeasted treats made for celebrations and special occasions. All the old standbys are here, plus delicious examples from around the world. All were too time-consuming and painstaking to make at home―until now.

In 100 clear and concise recipes that build on the successful formula of their bestselling series, Holiday and Celebration Bread will adapt their ingenious approach for high-moisture stored dough to a collection of breads from the four corners of the globe. This beautiful cookbook has color photos of every bread and includes step-by-step collages. With Zoë and Jeff’s help, you’ll be creating breads that rival those of the finest bakeries in the world―with just five minutes a day of active preparation time.

Review

Praise for Holiday and Celebration Brea in Five Minutes a Day:

"With step-by-step photographs, this book is a real confidence-booster for home cooks who wish to sharpen their bread-making skills." ―Publishers Weekly

Praise for Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day

“Zoë François and Jeff Hertzberg have amazingly demystified the arcane and delightful world of artisan bread. Now, on the heels of time sensitivity (Hello… 5 minutes??? Really? Yes!), comes a baking book for the health-conscious, and it couldn’t be more timely. Bottom 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

“[I]t’s a vast improvement over the laborious process of making artisan breads using classic methods . . . in their new book, Hertzberg and François 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.”―The Associated Press

“We tried some of the recipes; we love ’em.… Honestly, this is the nicest, softest whole wheat sandwich bread I’ve ever made.”―PJ Hamel, KingArthurFlour.com

“This is the much-anticipated sequel to the wildly popular Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day… you’ll be able to use the no-knead storage-dough method with even healthier recipes… fabulous cookbooks… yummy but easy recipes!”―Mother Earth News

Praise for The Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day Series

“Every step of Zoë and Jeff’s adventures in bread has been fascinating and delicious for us, the home bread bakers who follow them, but this book might be their most exciting yet because they’ve incorporated years of readers’ questions, problems, and discoveries into every chapter. This is truly the all-you’ve-ever-wanted-to-know edition. And there are plenty of photographs . . . at last!”―Dorie Greenspan, James Beard Award-winning author of Around My French Table and owner of Beurre & Sel cookies

“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

“Hertzberg and François’ practical, common-sense method… is, quite simply, genius.”―Chicago Tribune

I have baked bread for over forty years. Last year I got "The New Artisan Bread in Five minute a day", and started baking three or four days a week. The dough recipes are good, and you can use them so many ways. This book.takes it to a new level! They have even developed a simplified version of croissant and danish dough that is fast enough to work into a busy life. The recipes are delicious, and they show you how to make beautiful braids, wreaths, and other fancy loaves. There is an entire chapter on fillings, and multiply variations on cinnamon bread. The book also is enjoyable to just read. They tell the history of different breads; where it came from, the significance of the shape and the ingredients, and other interesting facts.
I am baking and freezing bread from this book for house guest next week. Sandwich bread, filled breakfast breads and simple boules to go with soup. I love this book!

This is my fav Artisan bread cookbook

I also own Artisan Pizza & Flatbread & Artisan Healthy Bread in 5. The Holiday & Celebration bread cookbook is my favorite of all. I was afraid I would regret buying it. I mean how many Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day cookbooks does one actually need? Well, this one is my favorite of all! Lots of sweet breads and more creative recipes that have really pretty presentation. I enjoy this book more than the others, although I like the others really well, too! I don’t regret this purchase at all! If I could only buy one of these cookbooks, I would get the holiday & celebration bread cookbook! Very pleased.

Gorgeous book, great recipes, and delicious bread.

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019

After following Zoë on Instagram for awhile, I was interested in purchasing one of her books. This book is great for beginners and anyone who is busy, but values having quality everyday bread and wants to impress their family and friends at the same time. The first several chapters are informative and cover information like technique, types of flours, essential kitchen equipment, etc. Many of these bread doughs can be fashioned into different recipes, so with this method, you can keep a batch of one type of dough and from that make a loaf, some pita, or another type of bread! Their website and her instagram are a wealth of knowledge as well, and free!

This is my 4th book by these authors, and none of them disappoint, I have made two buckets of bread after pouring over each page and recipe. They are just as easy as ever and have so many new recipes and from other cultures, countries for everyday and holiday uses. The ingredients are easy to find, usually on hand and they give you recipes for thing like lemon curd, farmers cheese and several others that is a plus. I really want to work through every one, made cinnamon rolls and a Pullman loaf last night, yum!

Not just for special occasions!

After borrowing this cookbook on repeat from my library I finally broke down and bought a copy. What I love about it is that they have several basic recipes for dough that you can use to everyday breads or seemingly endless variations of special occasion treats. Nearly everything I’ve made from this book has been wonderful and easy.

Il mio preferito di questi autori

Reviewed in Italy on January 1, 2023

Se già conoscete questa tecnica, questo libro vi farà fare un salto di qualità.
Adorando i lievitati dolci, pur avendo già altri due libri di questi autori, è il mio preferito!!!
Se possedete anche il primo, sappiate che troverete praticamente quasi tutte ricette inedite.
Le pochissime ripetute (credo si contino sulle dita di una mano) sono migliorate (e lo dico io che già adoravo le precedenti).
Premesso che per me contano le ricette, anche l'edizione è molto diversa: carta patinata e fotografie a colori che accompagnano le ricette.

US style baking

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

Unfortunately there was no possibility to review a sample of the book, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.
The idea is promising: a nice collection of bakes from around the world. Two issues. First is subjective, but I felt the recipes were not better than the ones I already had in other ethnic cookbooks, and there wasn't much novelty.
Second issue is sugar. Adding sugar to any and every loaf seems to be a US approach to bread baking, at least I have never seen this in my European baking books. If you follow the recipes, you will end up with sugar in your bagel, pita, simple white loaf (not milk or enriched). All these can be (and should be) prepared without sugar.
A good Italian, French, Scandinavian and Middle-Eastern baking book will serve you better. Might be more expensive, but at least authentic.
