Clare makes bread

Clare is making bread again. As usual, the trigger was discovering a large packet of wholemeal flour which had been overlooked for .. well, let's just say .. way too long. A belated thanks, Adrian, for your gift.

Clare makes bread

Clare tipped it into a large, clear-plastic tupperware box and we examined it minutely. After some minutes there was no sign of movement, so we determined that the two months over the "use by" date didn't matter. And as you can see, it has breaded up beautifully (I have just eaten the slice you see on the plate above).

The loaflettes

Three loaves in all plus a host of little loaflettes, pictured above in the oven.
