Bread
Several years ago I started baking my own bread from time to time. My results weren't consistent and I got frustrated by not really understanding what had gone wrong. However, the pandemic has meant that I've had plenty of spare time to perfect my technique and for the past fourteen months or so we have never bought any commercially produced bread or rolls. Its all been home made. I was going to buy a food mixer to do some of the hard work but I discovered that I actually enjoyed kneading the dough so I do it all by hand.
This is today's effort which looks a bit more symmetrical than most of my attempts, so I thought it was worth a photo. I have to give credit to John Kirkwood on Youtube whose videos and recipes gave me inspiration and useful tips..
