Bread

I was getting fed up of paying nearly €4 for a loaf of reasonable bread that I wanted to make my own. The search for bread flour started. The supermarket sells all sorts of (expensive) bread mixes, but I wanted some ordinary strong flour so I could do what I wanted and I knew exactly what was going in my bread. If you watch Jimmy’s Food Factory on BBC1, you will know what I mean.Eventually I found some large bags in the cash and carry and we haven’t bought a loaf of bread in about 6 weeks. It is so simple, so quick and delicious. Now I’m off to have some toast and homemade plum jam.

Until next time………

Bread Rolls

I ran out of bread on Sunday, or more to the point I hadn’t been shopping for a week and the cupboards were bare. So I made some bread rolls for lunch, and they were delicious. I used a recipe from Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall’s Family cookbook and they were delicious served with the dutch Gouda and yummy cranberry relish I made earlier in the week to accompany a roast chicken.
