My challenge has now started, this afternoon I made the Cheese and Onion Tear and Share loaf.
I started with a lot of enthusiasm and determination to stick to every part of the recipe without any exceptions. Usually I don't bother to Sieve things but today of course I did, and as for the odd gram extra here and there today there was no such thing.
I was unsure about how this would turn out as I've only ever made bread with a bread maker, however it turned out really well if I do say so myself! It was really simple albeit time consuming but I'm sure that applies to most Bread recipes! I was glad that the book gave times for how long to knead the dough being a bread novice. The one thing that does not come across in the book is the size of the loaf, I suppose that if your going to go to the effort of making your own bread then there's no point making only a small loaf but I could only just fit it onto the largest baking tray in our house!
After the excesses of Christmas and the abundance of sweet things in our house at the moment something light and savoury went down very well, and I would definitely make this again if there are several people coming as bread is at its best when fresh and I'm not sure what it will be like tomorrow when its cold rather than still warm from the oven. Perfect with some salad, cheeses and cold meat.
