Susan - a great book for reading about bread is this one:

Totally different from the 5-min technique obviously, but it goes into nice detail about why it all works the way it does. Really enlightening (and a good read, too).

If you want to borrow mine, you are welcome to. I can't do any bread the traditional way until summer anyway.
