Really Tom, you like making bread then do you?
I used to make my own bread from scratch, twice a week. I use a machine now, but I do intend to going back to doing it manually again.
Why would you go back to making it yourself, surely its much quicker with the machine. I keep saying I will buy one, but I’m wondering if i would then end up making too much of it. 🙂

Yes, I guess so really, it’s like baking instead of buying it in a packet to bake. Gosh it’s making me feel hungry. Must get to bed away from food before I start on some supper. 🙂
I thought everybody knew that you add a teaspoonful of sugar to the yeast and water, to get it raring to go. Hippy types can use honey, of course.
Well, there you go maybe some didn’t and will notice a difference next time they bake bread.

No, I didn’t notice that walrus, thanks so much for that 🙂

I haven’t made bread in a while, will do now though
No, nor me bda and the last lot I made was soda bread for my daughter. It makes me hungry thinking about it 🙂
