BREAD DAY AT AVIES




Whenever we run out of bread the simplest answer is to make some more,today we had not a crumb in the house. The usual stock of small loaves in the freezer had been used and the frozen dough was also on the missing list.....it looks like today is bread day then.

I love mixing the different flours to bring out the best in each type, today granary, stone ground whole meal, spelt,rye and unbleached white flour went in to the mixing bowl with the yeast and so on.

I am only limited by the size of my oven and today I made seven loves of assorted sizes,some for our use and some for friends. We all enjoy fresh bread and these days more and more people are making their own, for home made bread soon becomes the staple food it always used to be when it was made correctly ,and before the mass produced horrors of today’s supermarkets assaulted our noses with the stink of acetic acid and offend our palates by being tasteless and soggy.




Home made soup and home made bread,what could be nicer? Chip butties on home made bread,fantastic,home made muffins,tin loaves ,Coburgs and bread rolls French bread,garlic bread. Home made soda bread, the possibilities are endless,go on, have a go.
