It’s such a humble thing and few people might think of making their own bread. Faye found a book at our library – Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day – and began experimenting. She liked it so much that she hinted she’d like to add the new edition to our cookbook library. For once I paid attention and gave it to her for Christmas.
Making your starter batch is quite simple. Even I can do it as I proved on Sunday. Takes little time, as does shaping each loaf. Our breads have turned out with a lot of what I call ‘body’ – chewy with a crisp crust that gives my jaws a workout, lots of flavour. Store bought bread isn’t nearly as satisfying, not to mention having some unpronounceable ingredients.
Yum.
