…I’m not going to lie to you, it took me 3 attempts to get this right.
Attempt #1 – I only went and forgot to put the sundried tomatoes in it…i.e. one of the main ingredients! #facepalmmoment
Attempt #2 – I let this one sit to “do it’s thing” for a lot longer than instructed and still…nothing. It hadn’t even risen a cm. But still, I thought “it might do something when it’s baking?…” ha! What the what, Cerys?! It came out of the oven no bigger than my fist. I may have laughed really hard at this point…it was either that or cry.
Attempt #3 – Now we’re talking! After realising I actually needed to “activate” the yeast BEFORE adding it into the mixture, guess what?! It bloody worked! I also googled* the correct way to knead. Duw Anwyl, did my arms know about it the next day. Great workout! It actually says if you haven’t worked up a sweat, then it’s not ready.
I did a little dance as I took this one out of the oven.
And then poached up a couple of eggs to put on top. Delicious.
And then had some with my soup for lunch.
And then ate some with far too much butter whenever I felt like it.
Recipe HERE. Tips HERE. Bread making skills…err not here, but if you know where I can get some, let me know. Diolch.
Baked any bread yourself recently? Feel free to share some tips with me ;)
