Bread

Let’s just do another easy one, I thought to myself when going through one of Donna Hay’s cookbooks. It should be a simple recipe but enough of a challenge in getting it right.

I peer into the oven, a little worried that my bread will not be coming out as I had intended it to. Hmm, still undercooked. I close the door again, busy myself with cleaning the kitchen after having made quite a bit of a mess doing various dishes at the same time. Open the door [...]

Freshly made artisan bread out of the oven

Artisan bread in 5 minutes a day would that really be a possibility? When we had the breadbaking course last monday, my friend Tineke had brought the book Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day along to discuss with our workshop leaders.
