The Best Bread Ever: Great Homemade Bread Using your Food Processor

Make spectacular bread using a food processor and van Over's amazingly simple techniques—and you'll never make bread any other way.When Charlie van Over makes his acclaimed baguettes and other breads, he breaks all the rules. He doesn't proof the yeast. He uses cold water instead of warm. He mixes the dough in a food processor for 45 seconds instead of kneading it by hand. He lets the dough rise in a cool place. The result? A perfect loaf of bread—or pizza, baguette, or focaccia—each and every time.
