It's A Baking Weekend...
For all my problems and how my diet may change, I still have my appetite and am enjoying my food, perhaps more so if I was to think for how long can I continue to?
However, it's unusual for me to run out of bread. And Mum always says that she does not eat much bread and a loaf would last her ages. In reality, we do manage to eat a fair amount.
Well, I had no reason to go out except for bread and I thought I'd wait until my blood test on Tuesday and do a small shopping trip then. I was disappointed with the last couple of loaves I made but I gave it another go and they've come out fine again.
My white loaf was made on Saturday and was eaten by teatime Sunday and I have now made a wholemeal loaf and I hope that will last until Tuesday...if not I'll make another tomorrow.
If nothing else I have the art of making and baking a loaf very quickly now to still get a pleasing result. Approx 10-15 minutes to mix and knead the dough. Approx 2 hours for the dough to rise and approx 20-30 minutes in the oven.
So really once that first 15 minutes is over...the rest is easy peasy.

...run out of bread? Dough!
Span :-)That says it all...
I may have a go at making a French Stick next time...or is that a baton?
I baked these loaves on a baking sheet so they came out more evenly baked and in the style of a bloomer loaf.
or un baguette. I guess being thinner they "cooked" easier and more thouroughly.
