The kitchen chronicles

Rising From The (Oven) Flames

So, whilst the previous outing was a disaster, this week resulted in the best bread I’ve made so far. I was determined to make the most of all the learning so far and bring it altogether to create a standard white loaf. I also wanted to prove or disprove the need to leave a dough…>

Bread Beauty

From the disaster to the best bread I’ve made so far! White Bread

Food Disaster

Well, sort of. I wanted to create a dough with a high liquid percentage as a few friends have said how the higher the liquid ratio, the more likely for a delicate crumb structure and a crusty exterior.  I also wanted to make a milk loaf, so I made the decision to combine the two….>
