The entry period for this giveaway is now closed (though you are welcome to comment anyway). Stay tuned for the winner announcement, and in the meantime, make sure to enter all of our open giveaways…
Our 4th Birthday Giftaways continue! This giveaway is a quickie because Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day needs no introduction.
But just in case there are two or three of you who have been stuck under an overturned mixing bowl for the last few years, all you need to know is that this is the second book from chef Zoe Francois, who started the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day revolution, who happens to blog at ZoeBakes, and who contributes her gorgeous breads and pastries to ZoeBakes on TasteSpotting.
Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day is based on the no-knead method of baking bread, but includes whole grains, fruits, vegetables and gluten-free ingredients. You just mix all the ingredients at once, let it all sit for two hours, then shape and bake the bread. Because the recipes are made for big batches and can be doubled, you can refrigerate the dough and freshly bake healthy breads like Pesto Pine Nut Bread, Rosemary Potato Dinner Rolls with Salt Crust (!), Red Wine and Cheese Bread, and Avocado Guacamole Bread (!!).
And it’s not just savory bread. There are recipes for sweet sticky buns, cupcakes and omgkindofamazing Indian Spiced Doughnuts. (An advance note to whomever wins this cookbook: Please make the doughnuts. Love, TasteSpotting.)
How to Enter the Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day Giveaway:
Almost as easy as baking bread in five minutes, this giveaway has only one step:
Leave a comment on this post with your favorite kind of bread.
Don’t worry if you don’t like bread. Just make something up because it doesn’t matter what you say, it only matters that you do say something because we’re going to pick the “winner” randomly from the comments.
We know no one like to be the first, so we’ll start. Our favorite bread is any sort of chewy bread gaudily over-studded with roasted garlic cloves.
Good luck! The deadline to enter is midnight Friday January 28. Make sure to enter your email address in the space provided address so we can contact you if you’re chosen!
And just because only one person wins, we’re including a recipe for Rosemary Flax Baguette from the book for everyone else.
Rosemary Flax Baguette
“…This book is about healthy breads and we would be remiss not to include those made with flax, which has some powerful health effects and a mild nutty flavor…”
makes enough for 8 1/2-pound loaves (recipe can be doubled or halved)
Ingredients:
½ cup ground flaxseed
3 cups whole wheat flour
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
½ cup wheat germ
1½ tablespoon granulated yeast, or 2 packets
1 tablespoon kosher salt (or to taste)
¼ cup vital wheat gluten
3½ cups lukewarm water
½ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced, plus sprigs to decorate top
egg white wash
Directions:
Prepare the Bread Dough:
Whisk together the flaxseed, flours, wheat germ, yeast, salt and vital wheat gluten in a 5-quart bowl, or a lidded (not airtight) food container.
Add the water, olive oil, and minced rosemary and mix without kneading, using a spoon, a 14-cup food processor, (with dough attachment), or a heavy-duty stand mixer (with paddle). You might need to use wet hands to get the last bit of flour to incorporate if you’re not using a machine.
Cover (not airtight), and allow the dough to rest at room temperature until it rises and collapses (or flattens on top), approximately 2 hours.
The dough can be used immediately after its initial rise, though it is easier to handle when cold. Refrigerate it in a lidded (not airtight) container and use over the next 10 days. The flavor will be best if you wait for at least 24 hours of refrigeration.
Bake the Bread:
On baking day, dust the surface of the refrigerated dough with flour and cut off a ½-pound (orange-size) piece. Dust the piece with more flour and quickly shape it into a ball by stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter turn as you go.
Elongate the ball into a baguette shape, or use the letter-fold technique to get a perfect tapered result. Allow to rest, loosely covered with plastic wrap, on a pizza peel prepared with cornmeal or lines with parchment paper for 40 minutes (20 minutes if you’re using fresh, unrefrigerated dough). Alternatively, you can rest the dough on a silicone mat, a greased cookie sheet, or a baguette pan, without using a pizza peel.
Thirty minutes before baking time, preheat the oven to 450 degree F, with a baking stone placed on the middle rack. Place an empty metal broiler tray on any other rack that won’t interfere with the rising bread.
Just before baking, use a pastry brush to paint the top with egg white wash and then slash the loaf with ¼-inch-deep parallel cuts using a serrated bread knife. Decorate the top of the loaf by poking a few rosemary sprigs into the cut part of the dough, laying them flat against the loaf.
Slide the loaf directly onto the hot stone (or place the silicone mat or cookie sheet on the stone if you used one). Pour 1 cup of hot tap water into the broiler tray, and quickly close the oven door. Bake for about 25 minutes, until richly browned and firm. If you used parchment paper, a silicone mat, or a cookie sheet, carefully remove it and bake the loaf directly on the stone or an oven-rack two-thirds of the way through baking. Smaller or larger loaves will require adjustments in resting and baking times.
Allow the bread to cool on a rack before slicing or eating.

I love ALL bread. I could eat bread at every meal of every day. If I had to choose a favorite, it might be Caraway Rye… or Roasted Garlic Italian loaf from Wegmans.
My hands-down favorite bread is the classic French baguette – preferably in France because they have different flour – we just can’t replicate that taste in the U.S. unless we engage in some flour smuggling . . . .hmmmm . . .
I love bread! but at the moment (subject to change at any given time
) my favorite is fresh foccacia with rodemary and kalamata olives. it’s so crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with such flavor!
I love bread made with buckwheat flour…
My fave bread is probably a really good baguette or a good, simple foccacia
whole grain bread with plenty of nuts and a hint of honey!
I’m actually a fan of sprouted grain bread (as odd or bland as that may sound). I’ve gotten so used to it and love the health benefits and the fact that it doesn’t leave me feeling bloated afterward.
I love focaccia bread (Proscuitto and tomato are my favorite toppings)
Nothing beats a true French baguette! It goes with everything – for breakfast with jam, with cheese, you can make garlic bread, etc.
A dark, sour, German wheat with lots of different seeds and grains – nutty and toothsome!
My favorite bread is a French baguette! But, I love all kinds of fresh homemade bread! Nothing is better
nhsarab at yahoo dot com
My absolute favorite is fresh from the oven garlic french bread with a basalmic vinegar and oil dipping plate. YUM!
I love Soda Farl. It’s great toasted with Cheese and Tomato on the top. Toast again for a lovely grilled taste. Yum!!!
I love bread, period. But my favorite right now would have to be the Wheat-Rye I make for the family. Recipe here:
http://www.domynoes.com/journaled/chefs_wife/2010/05/bread-success/
My moms homemade sourdough…mmmm.
Semolina bread is one of my favorites… but I love all kinds!
I love bread that’s chewy and dense, and preferably made with a natural starter instead of yeast.
I love bread as well, especially anything with rosemary, garlic and olive oil. I am apparently one of those people who has been hiding in an overturned mixing bowl because this is the first I’ve heard of the book! Probably because I’ve been avoiding bread – but now I want to try ALL the recipes in it! Would love to win a copy…
Happy 4th birthday!
Debbie
My favourite bread EVER is this very dark, heavy, corase Danish rye bread. No caraway seeds. And I can’t find it anywhere but in the little Danish bakery in my parents’ home town, which is sadly 10 hours’ drive away from where I now live. I love it so much that I routinely pack two or three loaves in my suitcase to bring back with me whenever I go out there for a visit :)
Gosh there are so many great breads, but I find myself loving those pecan raisin multigrain breads or rolls you get at some restaurants. I have to figure out how to make it.
I especially love caramelised onion and sun dried tomato bread mmmmm

favorite bread is ciabatta!
I would have to say, rosemary focaccia bread.

Fresh baguettes are da best! Nom nom nom
I loveeee banana bread!
My husband bakes fresh bread almost every week and it is all so tasty. But if it isn’t something he made, I love a good sourdough!
I love all bread, especially when it’s still warm from the oven. I especially love Focaccia, though.

I LOVE all bread!!!! Especially chewy breads as well as crunchy whole grains and roasted garlic cloves!!!

My favorite bread is one I used to find at my local bakery on week-ends: it’s called the Noemia and, basically, it’s a cacao-coffee bread.
Heaven :)
I love any bread! (this seems to be a popular statement, lol) but really – bread and butter are a staple for me! My newest love is of ciabatta – but homemade, not restaurant or store bought… homemade is just so soft with those big airy bubbles, and slightly chewy crust… mmmm, heaven.
I am not gluten free and rarely eat bread of any sort, though buckwheat is certainly my favorite g-free flour. In my wheat eating days nothing beat a perfectly crusty baguette!
NOM. Fresh baguettes! I’ve never had one that matched the ones I had in Paris, though!
I just graduated college with a degree in Baking and Pastry Arts… we had a whole quarter just for bread… and out that entire class… my favorite bread is a Baguette. The airy consistency, the open crumb structure, WOW!!!! The crunch of the crust, the smoothness, that old time flavor… JUST UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I love to make Jim Lahey’s no knead bread! But anything by Peter Reinhart is pretty reliable, too.
Though I love all kinds of bread, my favorite is one miss because the shop closed up. It’s a killer white chocolate, apricot bread. I loved it on its own but for pure decadence, NUTELLA!
It’s hard to beat a good baguette…
My favorite bread is cinnamon swirl. Or garlic bread.
I am crazy with all kind of breads. Especially, whole wheat bread. I am always search the tasty breads in NYC.
Making bread is one of those tricks in the kitchen I’ve not been able to do very well. I love dense moist breads, light airy breads w/ thick crusts, yeasty breads… There’s something so satisfying about sinking your teeth into a slice of bread… particularly one warm out of the oven.
My favorite bread is a really good sourdough baguette (from San Francisco!)
My favorite bread that I can make is No Knead.
French Onion Bread!

i love olive bread, but ever since I made challah at home, that’s been my total favorite
I’m torn between a simple, rustic soda bread and a dense, dark German pumpernickel.
Black rye bread with calamus
I also love it all, but I’m partial to anything garlicy.
I like German type of a bit sour rye bread!
My fave type of bread is Soda bread because it reminds me of Christmas in Northern Ireland.

My favorite bread is rosemary focaccia…so easy to make and it has so many uses. You can cut it in half, fill it and make panini sandwiches or you can use a half as a base for pizze. Cut it into small squares and brown them for croutons. This cookbook is definitely the reason I have added 5 lbs. to my weight!

All bread is fabulous. I’m stuck between fresh warm baguette dipped in olive oil and my grandma’s homemade bread.
I love making any sweet bread…cinnamon rolls are my biggest weakness!
I love almost all bread. But when I’m eating soup or something with a sauce that needs to be sopped up it has to be a fresh crusty bread.
I love focaccia, though I’ve never baked any bread on my own!!
I am sure any whole grain bread that could be made quickly would become my favorite. I love homemade whole grain bread but it never rises well for me so I know I need some help.

Potato bread! Sooo yummy!
any sort of chewy, grainy, wheaty bread!
Always one to do things the hard way, I only just made my first loaf from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: Bran Enriched White Bread. Oh. My. Gosh. My husband and I devoured an entire pound of bread in one sitting, then baked up a second loaf to eat some more!
If the healthy breads are as good as the originals, I can’t wait to try the recipes in the new book!
I love brioche!
Anything gluten free and homemade — I am dying to get my hands on the gluten free recipes in this book! Especially the gluten free brioche; accomplishing that means I truly *can* have it all… yes!!
sourdough!
I love most breads! I love pumpkin bread, cinnamon raisin, and focaccia most of all!
LOVE garlic bread, and all chewy breads……just love bread, really any kind!!
I like making bran/wheat breakfast bread. Lots of good stuff in it, heavy and solid enough to make a breakfast of one slice with butter and grav postei, and fresh green pepper slices.
Foccacia bread is my favorite!
Multigrain bread – toasted with homemade jam. Delicious!
Any bread that has sesame seeds . . . I’m a sucker for sesame seeds and bread.

Russian Rye Bread, soooooooooo good
Happy Birthday
I have to say that a good sourdough really gets me going!!!
I love baguette, the real French version!!!
Mmmmm ALL bread, but roasted red pepper bread with some melted cheese on top is especially delicious.
Happy birthday!!!
mmm…bread. warm baguette, right out of the oven. crusty on the outside, steamy and luscious on the inside. dipped into some really nice olive oil – that’ll make me skip the rest of dinner. :)
A simple durum round. A simple buttery taste, large interspersed holes in the cross section and so versatile. Mmm, with a layer of good ricotta and a drizzle of honey. A close runner up is a country sourdough. So yummy with poached egg or in a sammie. My philosophy is that even if you don’t have time to cook (i.e. for lunch), a good meal is never far away when you have a fresh loaf on hand. =)
I love bread! Recently i tried making this spinach bread- and is now one of my favorites!
Warm,toasted bread with butter is like heaven in your mouth!
Pumpernickel – a classic.
Fresh bread- as long it’s still a little steamy out of the oven, I love it!
I like doughy Tuscan boules to dip in olive oil when it’s still hot out of the oven…or fresh-baked farmhouse white bread slathered with salty butter. I could eat bread and butter for every meal.
Favorite kind of bread to eat? Wow… hard to say. Probably French bread from the street vendors in Paris! I love to make tortillas at home, but have only tried ‘real’ bread a few times. I would love this cookbook!
My favorite breads are European breads: crusty and crunchy. I enjoy them by slice and butter: just plain, so I can get the full taste and flavor of the bread’s complexity.
Too hard to pick just ONE, so I’m going with homemade ciabatta AND rosemary yeast rolls.
It actually IS my birthday today! January 28th! This would be an amazing present I have wanted this book for so long! I love the whole wheat recipe, and the standard white, but I think my favorite bread of all is the brioche. mmmm. guilty pleasure, but so worth it!
Oh I LOVE bread , my fav is foccacia. I also love baking my own bread !
How about a rosemary and garlic whole-grain ciabatta?!?!
Beer bread is the hit with my sons. I just use a rich flavored beer for the liquid, and the results are aromatic, slightly colored crumb and a tang to the taste.
cv
Love bread in pretty much any form but it’s hard to beat a good sourdough!
Pumpkin bread!
My favourite will be a focaccia! The combination of aromatic rosemary with the fruity olive oil is wonderful!
I have been wanting to try recipes in this book.
The first thing that pops into my mind is “brioche!!!”.While studying in Vienna I experienced a three/four day stretch of sleepless nights due to a swollen uvula (the dangly thingie in the back of your throat – if this has never happened to you, I hope you never have to find out how it feels). Unfortunately just following recovery (and without a decent night’s sleep in-between) I was subject to two oral presentations and a final exam, within the same 24 hours of moving out of my apartment. Unfortunately this move meant that there was no proper food (barring a banana and some Red Bull) in our temporary housing the morning of my examination. I ended up grabbing a big brioche bun from a local bakery on the way to class.
It was about the best thing I’ve ever eaten.
That or pretty much any bread from Vienna I would gladly vouch for :)
Sourdough is my favorite whether it be for toast, french toast, sandwiches…I love it!
Garlic bread made from a chewy, crusty loaf of Italian bread and homemade garlic butter.
A french baguette with butter and homemade jam, just the memory takes me back to holidays in France, there is no better breakfast in the world than a baguette from a French bakery
A warm baguette with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping or homemade dukkah!
Two days ago I made anadama bread which I found to be delicious!! I also LOVE rye bread!
My favorite bread is one that I will never get again. Its Salt Rising Bread and it was made by a company in southern California that no longer exists. It was heavenly when it was toasted. We would take fresh avocado from my grandmother’s backyard and mash it on the buttered salt rising bread toast and sprinkle it with salt. It was heavenly.
Tartine bread in San Francisco.
I don’t have a favorite bread, I love them all.
Yum! I love bread, and quick, healthy recipes are always good!
My favorite recipe right now is oatmeal bread from the more with less cookbook. It is delicious and it ALWAYS works out!
That’s a tough one, since I love all bread. But if I can only choose one, i have to go with sourdough.
My own honey wheat bread!
Roasted Garlic baguette
My favorite bread is sourdough.
Too many delicious choices to choose from… today, challah sounds perfect!
There used to be a restaurant down in S. Florida where they made these sourdough/beer rolls that were just so fresh, hot and fluffy…ahhh!!!
I love bread with nuts,seeds and some fruit. Blueberry Nut Bread is my latest favorite.
Bread is my joy in life–that and ice cream :) But a fresh loaf of sourdough is probably my all time favorite!
Classic French baguette!
I love Potato Bread, & pao de leite!
I can’t wait to try bread when it stops snowing enough to stock the pantry with essentials! :)
My favourite bread is homemade Irish Soda Bread…. nothing tastes more comforting than piping hot soda bread, fresh from the oven, with lashings of butter and jam. It goes down perfectly with a hot cup of tea, with plenty of milk and sugar.
I also love the French “pain aux noix”… essentially a crusty white bun, or loaf, with warm white bread on the inside laced with walnuts. It is most delicious when bought warm, right from the boulangerie, and eaten right out of the bag on the way home. Food for the soul.
LOVE BREAD!!!! But my favorite has got to be fresh pumpernickel with honey butter! yuummmyyyy!!!!!
I’m a baguette girl.
Sourdough is supreme in my book.
The best bread is definitely Challah – Just can’t get enough!
I could eat the rustic baguette from La Farine in Oakland, CA all day long. It’s good sliced on a bias with Cheeseboard or Strauss butter, or with homemade jam. It’s even better plain, fresh from the store–the baguettes never make it home with two ends in tact.
My favorite bread is the Persian bread called Sangak. SO amazing.
Olive bread. Let me count the ways…
My favorite is ciabatta!
I love every type of bread, I’m breadholic

I love a crusty boule with rosemary and kalamata olives — toasted with a drizzle of olive oil and sea salt … delicious!
I love fresh french bread. Any type of baguette.
Right now I’m loving the recipe for simple homemade bagels from the King Arthur Flour website. The recipe is a little involved and certainly takes some time, but the bagels have such a delicious flavor!

I adore thick crusty whole grain sourdough breads

The only thing I love more than chocolate is bread. Any and all bread. I’m off to Boulanger school in the fall and this book would be really helpful! :)
Olive Bread! Or a good hearty Rye.
My favorite bread is anything with lots of whole grains, nuts, seeds, oats….another good one is a Rice Bread I have had from a local bakery – perfect just toasted with butter!
MY favorite is something sweet. Like a banana bread with caramel frosting or cinnamon raisin swirl.
Just about anything with a crunchy crust and a soft, tender inside!
Oooo! The only thing that get me going more than bread, is bread with cheese (and maybe some honey drizzled on top). As for my favorite, gimme anything with a hearty crust and melt in your mouth pillow crumb inside and I’m yours!
Simple Sourdough!

a hearty rustic cornbread that is a little bit sweet! yummy
Any bread with walnuts in it will do me.
Warm sourdough.
Um…I think everyone said this probably, but how can you choose a favorite bread? I love it all. But a crusty baguette with a perfect French countryside cheese could be the only food I’d need on a deserted island….
Favorite kind of bread?? OMG!! I don’t know. I love bread. Right now though…I am stuck on a super simple beer bread recipe and I have been playing with it with different kinds of beers for different underlying flavors!!!
I love blueberry bagels. (Does that count?=P) And english muffins slathered with tons of butter and jelly in all the little nook and crannies.
I love bread in general! But I do love rosemary bread (Jo’s Rosemary Bread recipe from Allrecipes) and… well cinnamon rolls are bread too right?

My family LOVES LOVES LOVES Ciabatta! (And I like to get it WHOLE WHEAT if I can!)

A delicious sourdough is where it’s at. With a beautiful crust, and a moist and fluffy inside… mmmm!
ANY bread that’s fresh and warm, with some cheese and wine….maybe some butter on that bread. IM SO HUNGRY RIGHT NOW!

My fav bread is crunchy chewy full-of-air-pockets and lots of seeds!
Yum, I adore bread! My favorite is freshly baked scali bread. Crusty on the outside and tender, warm and delicious on the inside. And the aroma? Oh, it’s the stuff dreams are made of! p.s. yes, I’m a true foodie.
I love a good Sourdough bread:) Smothered in butter. It makes me smile.
Happy Birthday! I am so thrilled you are celebrating with Healthy Bread in Five!
Cheers!!! Zoë
Though I am perfectly capable of baking my own, I have to admit that my FAVE bread is Panera’s whole grain baguette. I *LOVE* that bread!!! Sometimes, I just don’t feel like making my own so I drive 2 miles down the road & pick a baguette up whenever I’m craving it.
What bread don’t I like? But give me a fresh-baked baguette slathered in butter and I’m content.
I love ALL bread. Especially rye.
I’m pretty sure I haven’t found a bread I don’t like yet! Love sourdough though!

I love a good crusty baguette or country loaf.

… sorry the question, bread – dark, chewy rye bread!

Not sure if it really counts and it’s totally an unhealthy guilty pleasure, but I have just recently discovered Amish Friendship Bread and not only is it so fun to make it is so yummy!

There’s nothing like a good, homemade wheat bread.

Given that bread is essentially a big ball of carbs, I love it all. However, bread with some sort of cheese element in or on it is never a bad thing.
Marble rye baguettes. Nom. So good to use as a base for toppings.
