what,s a breadmaker(pic heavy)I spotted some flour in a local shop and thought I,d have a go at making my own bread .
My father was a baker and I used to love watching him make the odd loaf at home so here goes
I worked off a traditional old recipe and heres the pics of my first attempt at baking bread by hand from scratch
The main ingrediant
Impressing the neighbours after they enquired what was smelling so good
(I made two so they could have one)
Taste test I was really proud of myself first attempt not to shabby at all
seems our friends approve of the smell of fresh baked bread

That looks REALLY good - if I didn't have a cold, I'm sure I'd be able to smell it through the computer screen

Im typeing with my eyes shut at the moment... Richies "Expermenting" again lol!
Apparently the kitchens organised... bless 'im "Tonight Matthew I'm going to be...........(drum roll...) A Baker" 
I think he's more than into his new hobby, he betta do the bl**dy washing up this time though!!!!
He did a raid on Lidls... we only went in for cornflower for my cauliflower cheese tonight, he ended up with arm loads of yeast and bread making stuff
Gotta Luv 'Im !

I see he has the obligatory bottle of beer - that's always a good start

I must check my lidl for yeast and flour!! He does look like a man in the know!!!

That looks great, yummy! I like the wessex mill flour but have used Lidls as well. Mr Kathy makes better bread than me but he is more precise, everything gets weighed whereas I use my eye for quantities. Using a natural leaven produces wonderful bread, doesn't taste like sourdough when Mr Kathy makes it either. That might be something Richie wants to experiment with.
