Home Baking – Shocker!
Saturday, September 5, 2009 in Daisy's Thoughts, Really Nice Food by Daisy Share 
Have you recently been sick and tired of the breads in the local bakery? Me, I’m so bored of the same range and flavours… I crave for the bread/loaf that are fresh from the oven without preservatives… Slicing it whilst it’s hot and spreading some creamy butter over it… Just so yum-licious!
So yesterday, off I went to the local library and loaned “The Bread Book – the definitive guide to making bread by hand or machine.”
I’ve always wanted a bread-maker cos I lurve the smell and taste of fresh bread… but still haven’t seemed to have bought one yet! Nevertheless, no machine doesn’t mean it’s gonna stop me!
Bought the ingredients and started the baking process… Oh man – the kneading process was an absolute killer on the heels of my hands… By the end of it – my hands were sort of shaking! It was meant to take 10 mins from the recipe – but it took me 20 mins to get to the desired smooth and elastic dough… And it still wasn’t that smooth and elastic!!!
Result @ 11pm: Fresh in-deed! Smelt fab! Tasted it when it came out of the oven and it was soft and nice… But ofcos there’s always room for improvement – like other flavours, styles! So sliced the loaf in readiness for the following morning’s breakky – which was this morning!!
To continue with my home-baking, decided to bake some cookies today – house smelt lush and cookies tasted fab – but ofcos Im gonna say that – right?!?!
