Bit of Baking…
I’m still not quite sure what made her keen, but Bec decided to make bread the other night to go with tea. Which was pretty good thinking really, as it became pretty much the whole of our tea that night…
And as we’re pretty keen to find anything interesting to write about for the blog that actually doesn’t need much in the way of deep comment we made sure we kept a photo diary of the event.
Luckily for you, dear reader, we’ve skipped the boring bits, like bowls of dough sitting around for ages in the hot water cupboard getting nice and fat. The first “exciting” bit was after there had been 3 lots of dough rolled out that had to be filled with a whole lot of cooked red onions. A lot of onions. And we didn’t even use as many as it appeared the recipe called for. And I’ll digress here for a moment, if I may. If a recipe calls for 750gms of onions, peeled and finely chopped, does the 750gms relate to the inital unpeeled weight, or the final chopped amount? It’s confusing. And not very helpful. Hmm.
Anyway, here’s the spreading happening…
And how it all looked when we’d finally worked out how to plait them together. Bec seems to be able to plait her hair behind her without thinking about it, but plaiting in front of you (with massive bits of dough, I agree) seemed to be a bit more confusing…
A bit more sitting around rising time later, and it was into the oven. Then out again, looking pretty good.
And after almost enough cooling time, into out tummies did it go. Not too bad. A little doughy, I give it a 7/10. But as it was the first baking in this oven, I think we can be reasonably happy with it.
