PigIf anyone were to ask me if liked bread, the simple answer would be “No”. I don’t really appreciate plain bread. So perhaps it’s rather strange of me then to be attempting to make bread at home. My only prior experience of making bread was years back, mixing flour with water and cooking that over a campfire the way good little scouts are wont to do.
So why the sudden fascination for breadmaking? I suppose it’s the whole process of mixing and kneading that appeals to me, really. That, and the excuse to cook other things so that I’d actually eat the bread I make.
And so I made a second attempt at making bread, this time using a different resource as a guide. The internet as a minefield of not-quite-verified information is interesting that way.
Happily enough, the bread really did turn out to be bread, and not some hybrid roll-biscuit thingy like I had churned out the last time. Okay, so it doesn’t look like it could stand a chance of winning a Beautiful Loaf contest, but at least it looked like bread. It even tasted like bread!
Success? We’ll see if I can replicate the results another time, and I’ll let you know. In the meantime, I’ve now got an excuse to cook other stuff so that I’d actually eat this bread.
Now that's what I call "getting a rise"
Hmm... kinda looks like a pillow
And lo behold! White bread!

invest on a breadmaker, it makes the whole thing effortless! :p
But the whole point is to stick my hands in there and knead! If I had to use a breadmaker, I wouldn’t be doing this at all lol
make other types of bread la… onion loaf, fruit and walnuts….etc.
Eh have to start with basics first mah. The first time I tried I ended up with chinese fighting rolls – throw people can die one!
