Proof that women's place is not necessarily in the home! 2 months ago

Everytime I try to make my own bread, it comes out more like bricks. So I’m borrowing my mum’s bread maker (cheating, I know!! But still miles better than buying it at Sainsburys. Wach this space…. ;)

This just sounds like fun! 7 months ago

I bought all the stuff to make it and I printed a recipe! Let’s hope this produces delicious results :)

I bought a bread pan the other day... 8 months ago

and used it today for the first time! The bread is heavenly, I’m surprised I’ve had so much success in my bakings – though at first I thought I had screwed this one up. Home-made bread is so much yummier, and the whole process is therapeutic, I only decided to start baking tonight (it quarter past eleven in the evening right now) because I desperately needed something to do. This is so much fun, I can’t even think of buying my bread from the shop anymore. :P

As the price of bread keeps rising, I’ve started to think that it’s probably wiser to start making my own bread – and cheaper as well. I talked about this with a colleague of mine, and she said that by baking your own bread, you can save around 400 euros a year, and that’s… quite a lot, considering.

I tried my hand at baking for the first time today (in years, if not ever) and made buns. Well, the recipe was simple and I kind of knew what I was doing all the time, so it wasn’t that difficult. Perhaps I made the buns a bit large in size but at least I don’t need to eat more than one of them at a time. And they were delicious. :) Very yummy indeed.

I’m quite excited over this, actually, there are so many different recipes to try. I’m thinking of buying a book by Richard Bertinet, the book contains around 50 recipes and all of them are tested and modified for Finnish flours, which is actually really great. Baking bread was much fun, at least this first experiment was a total success. :)

Bake my own bread.... 12 months ago

This is part of my 40 things to do whilst I’m 40 list. Starting on February 25th 2009 (My Birthday!)

I have attempted to make bread, but when I was at school, and it was horrid, so never tried again. Think it’s about time I tried again, of course this may involve being gadget queen and getting a breadmaker…. is that cheating?

Starting out easy! 22 months ago

Nonna spoiled me rotten with a bread maker as an early birthday present. I tried it out for the first time last night and it worked! I know it was just a matter of putting the ingredients in the bread maker and pressing a few buttons but there was still something satisfying about the smell of baking bread filling the house and the end result – a beautiful loaf of fresh bread. I am gluten intolerant and the bread that’s usually available in the shops is mostly overpriced and not very nice. This loaf was lovely though – with a nice, soft texture (sometimes a rarity in gluten-free cooking). Next on my list to try is a cornbread recipe out of a gluten-free cookbook I got over Christmas.



Easy peasy! 23 months ago

I made the simplest white bread ever – just bread flour, yeast, water and salt. It is so delicious, I’ve already made it twice! I’m hoping to get more adventurous in the future and add to the recipe, but for now I am very happy with my plain, homemade bread. Yummy!



Do it 2 years ago

Just pick a recipe and go for it. My biggest problem when starting was not kneading long enough. Dough goes through 3 stages, sticky just mixed, hard to mix- underkneaded, soft and elasticy and read to start rising. I haven’t bought bread since I started making my own almost a year ago.
