Move Over Hairy Bakers

Last week the Hairy Bikers began a new T.V series called the Hairy Bakers, where they are going around the country making bread and cakes. Too late boys, Bri has already had a go!! I made a quick and easy wholemeal loaf from a recipe by Delia. The hardest part was kneaqding the dough which you have to do for at least 10 - 15 minutes or when it is smooth. I should have got Plum to do that bit as she is stronger than me!!Firstly you put a damp cloth over it and leave it in a warm place for 40 minutes to rise. Then ,you take it out fold it and put into the tin to bake for 40 minutes, then hey presto, you have a loaf heavy enough to kill someone with!! Seriously though, although the texture is quite dense, it tastes good and is more filling and cheaper in these hard times, than bread you buy from the supermarket.I recommend that everyone have a go even if only to build up their muscles

  1. Quality loaf there, Bri! I cheat and use a breadmaker - less effort for more bread!
