This book looks great, I imagine those jam lids would really jazz up some jam pots, and I am making a ton of Jam at the mo. Thank you. Xx
Congratulations! I’ll get your details straight away and you’ll
be hooking up some blossoms for the CAL by the end of the week!
Last time I had a giveaway, I offered a consolation prize in
the form of my autumn crumble recipe.
Today I am sharing another recipe – am I starting a trend here? If you didn’t
win the giveaway, rest assured you’ll have a tasty treat to soothe the soul? –
this is for a delicious, shockingly easy homemade bread.
I happened upon this absolutely scrumptious loaf from Amjaylou’s blog, and she made it after
seeing it here. This recipe sounds
too good to be true – flour, salt, yeast and water, but no kneading! Saturday
night the girlies measured the ingredients into the bowl, and we stirred it
into a gloppy dough. Covered with cling film and left it overnight. The recipe
recommends about 15 hours, and this is what we had Sunday morning
We plopped it onto the floured countertop, formed it into a bowl and let it set another half hour.
Then we popped it in a hot casserole dish, and about 45 minutes later we had this!
What would Paul Hollywood make of this?
I can’t believe how good this tasted for being so simple to
make. A very chewy crust, soft centre that wasn’t doughy or underdone (“That’s
a good bake,” I hear the Silverback saying...). There is half a slice left
today, and it has my name on it.
Thank you all so much for your caring comments the past few
days on our family colds...we’re still quite run down with this virus, but we’re
at least happy in each other’s company, and Bunny is doing some stitching with
me! More on that later...now I need to get my Hexagon Throw started for the
CAL. What will you be crocheting?
