Rising To The Occasion

Bread again today!
We made focaccia – quicker than the bread we made a couple of weeks ago, so we were able to have it with lunch…
We’ve been having trouble with it rising, since the temperature has been a bit cooler lately. Today was warmer anyway, and we put the dough out in the sun, under a teatowel. We used cheese, onion and rosemary for the topping. Here’s the result 🙂

Bread And Biscuits

We’ve been baking this week! Wednesday we did a simple bread recipe – we’ve been watching one of the River Cottage series and decided to try it…

Since tomorrow is Anzac Day, we made Anzac biscuits today, to a basic recipe from “The Commonsense Cookery Book”. We sampled some today, but left the rest for tomorrow..
