Not only did the yeast loaf come out beautifully, but I also made a fab wheaten bread (wholemeal soda bread) whilst the white loaf was proving. Yum. https://octodon.social/media/BaQEDN35b6rpF8pmEXM
If you let the yeast/water/flour mulch for 25 minutes before adding the salt and then letting it rise normally, it makes even the most amateur breadmaker (hello!) look pretty durned good. Something to do with the yeasts breaking down the proteins in the flour without salting slowing down the action or something. https://octodon.social/media/knVXRq5CQTieWcSFhbs
Look what I made that look and taste delicious! It's your basic puff pastry block rolled out, then layered with a) pesto b) extra pine nuts c) pecorino grated d) slightly caramelised fried onions. Brush egg over. Bake until it looks kind of done. https://octodon.social/media/DLEAvXmdU7rt2sjqCyg
Christmas Cake no. 2.it's dark and glossy because it's made with treacle and caramel, but also has huge chunks of walnut in. Slightly concerned about how many teaspoons of mixed spice it said. I should have double checked. https://octodon.social/media/0hjBnARRC2YSyxTVv0o
