The Stuff Of Life
Gail and I bought a breadmaker a couple of weeks ago. I have made four loaves so far. The first two were great, but the 3rd one was a little disappointing, possibly because I used a little too much olive oil. Today's loaf looked excellent. So much so, that I have to share it with you all. A picture of it, not the actual bread!
I use the most natural ingredients I can get, organic stoneground flour, goat's butter, organic yeast, brown sugar and sea salt. Set the maker to work overnight, and ping, when we wake up there's the smell of piping hot bread wafting through the house.
I thoroughly recommend you all get one. Shop bought bread just doesn't compare on taste and texture.
