Breaking Bread
 |
| kneading dough |
Now Chris took the car to work yesterday, leaving me and his father effectively marooned in Trelawnyd on a rather bleak and stormy day.So in the way of some occupational therapy, I decided to teach Richard to make bread
He seemed to have enjoyed the experience!
There is nothing like making your own bread by hand and better still is the delicious aroma when it is baked!
ReplyDeleteWell done you two!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fine. Did it taste fine too?
ReplyDeleteThis is the most basic, and the most satisfying, of all food preparation. And when it comes out 'just right' it's also the most pleasurable. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNext of all you need to teach Richard about fashion for older men. He should be wearing a Harris Tweed jacket with leather arm patches, a cotton check shirt and a woollen khaki-coloured tie instead of that youthful fuchsia coloured jumper from Matalan.
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to pass a stormy day - I can smell it baking now (I wish). Did Richard find that his nails were really clean afterwards? (My daughter once commented on that effect - after we had eaten the bread!!)
ReplyDeleteYP: What is Matalan?
I've come so close to buying automatic bread-makers before, but that's not the same as this, I expect.
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell it...drool!
ReplyDeleteAaahh, bliss!

Lovely John...sharing your expertise in the kitchen! Nice looking loaf too and I bet it smelled yummy whilst cooking!
ReplyDeleteAnyone that takes the time to make bread these days gets high marks in my book, and an invitation to drop a loaf by anytime!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'll confess to you that I always bring freshly baked rolls to a church dinner, someone's home for dinner etc. Everyone thinks that they are homemade but they are really made from frozen bread dough...
That looks a cracking good loaf for a novice breadmaker. Well done, Richard. x
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to show him the ropes! Looks very good!
ReplyDeleteBack in South Africa I don't often bake bread as the bakery or cafe is around the corner. Now living in a remote African valley, however, I bake regularly as the bakery is MILES up a mountain dirt road. I love that you taught Richard to bake bread - his first attempt looks good, I bet is smelt heavenly while baking and tasted delcious. BTW, John, I don't think this post is at all boring (refererring to your next post about this post!) Greetings, Jo
ReplyDeleteBravo! I'd enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteOoo! Yummy! My lady bakes bread for her wee lambs so that they can have a nice treat to make them gain weight. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteNice job Richard!
ReplyDeleteMMmmm, the bread looks great. Good on Richard for giving it a go! and for you teaching him, of course.
