Do you love fresh bread? Are you thinking about some for dinner tonight? You could always go to the local bakery and pick up a loaf baked that morning. Or you could pull some out of your oven about five minutes before you sit down to eat.
King Arthur's blog Baker's Banter has a post about a loaf it's calling Blitz Bread. They claim the bread is done in two hours from start to finish, and the trick is to use a lot of yeast. Using extra yeast will speed up the process. The only downside is that you lose the complexity and flavor that smaller amounts of yeast creates. However, if you're having something that involves tomato sauce, then the super fresh bread is a great option.
The blitz bread looks a lot like a focaccia loaf, and since it only takes a couple hours to make (most of which time will be spent on letting the bread rise and then baking it) it's a great week night dinner option. Baker's Banter walks you through the process, from start to finish, with great photos for every step. Don't be afraid and have some fresh bread with dinner.
