Bread of Heaven

Well that certainly tasted good.

The other day I thought I would teach Amy how to bake bread. It is something that I really enjoy doing and the taste and texture of a home made loaf is far grander than a shop bought one. I've really got the knack of it now and would never use a bread machine again.

I realised I give my bread quite a thorough seeing to in the kneading process, but Amy seemed to show a lot more gentle love and affection to the dough. She certainly has the right knack anyway because it tasted absolutely scrumptious and it looked good too...



I look forward to her baking many more loaves for me in the future.

Delicious!

    Well that certainly looks delicious. I use my bread maker to make the dough, but I take it out, knock it back, split in to bread rolls and bake in the oven.

      Hi Mrs H.

      We really enjoyed reading your blog when we found it yesterday.

      I'll post a blog post later in the week, probably Thursday outlining how we make our bread.

    That looks absolutely delicious!!!
    Bread machine - I will admit, that since I busted up my hand a few times and arthritis sets in, I often 'cheat' and use my bread machine for the kneading process of my breads, especially if I am baking a dozen more more loaves in a day, but sometimes, if you are stressed at all, giving that dough a good pounding can be very therapeutic.
    I look forward to seeing pics of those future loaves. I really like the way you shaped that one.
