It's Real Bread Week

I decided to do a raisin loaf... just not a sourdough or natural starter loaf. I'm pushing the boundaries.........

 

However, I found this little blurb on the website touting the week long celebration.

 

"It’s not just about sourdough ...

While all genuine sourdough is Real Bread, not all Real Bread is made by the sourdough process. As long as it’s made without additives, bread leavened with baker’s yeast nestles within our definition of Real Bread – as do unleavened flatbreads".

 

And, so ... I give you my loaf of Real Bread... which, this time I made with commercial yeast ...and, which 'pouffed' up considerably.......

 

I've made the loaf a few times in the past.... twice it has gone way above the pan.

However, it is a massive amount of dough even for my large KitchenAid 9 x 5 sort of rounded edges pan...

 

Next time I may add a bit more flour, some yogurt and divide it into 2 loaves.... they'll be smaller, but they'll fit into the toaster much better.

 

Even though it toasts up beautifully....I do have to put the slices in sideways in order to pop them down..... but, who cares when it is so tasty! I do add a bit of ginger, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a bit more sugar to it ..... mmmmm.......
