Back in early 2010, I went on a bread-making course with the wonderful Mark of
Mark's Bread. I came out filled with enthusiasm and sure I would be making bread every day. Didn't happen, of course, and I got distracted with babies and suchlike, but I'm going to try and get back to that calming rhythm of the kneading and the making and the proving and the baking.
And here's the first result of the year - a cottage loaf, made using a very simple recipe found on the side of the
Dove's Farm yeast packet.
It was a good start.
