With Real Bread Week taking place from the 15th until the 23rd February, I decided to make some bread this month.
I made the Best Seeded Soda Bread recipe from Waitrose. This recipe was very easy to follow and the bread simple to make. The result was also very good, but I think I could have done better.
The recipe calls for a “large deep, lidded, round cast-iron dish” to cook the bread in. I used the largest, lidded, pyrex casserole dish that I have (and which was perfect for a Nigella bread recipe I made before), but I don’t think this was quite big enough. The centre of the bread was slightly underbaked. I think that this was due to the smaller size of the dish. I should have cooked it for just a bit longer.
However, the bread was still very tasty and went down well with a selection of cheese and chutney. Yum!
** NEXT MONTH**
March sees Mother’s Day on Sunday 30th. There are so many things that you could make either as a gift for your mother, to eat over a cup of tea and a chat with your mother or just to give to yourself as a treat
However, I have found a recipe on the WI Learning Hub website that I am going to try. It is Mother’s Day Milk Chocolate, Vanilla and White Chocolate Chip Muffins with Maple Frosting (click here for the recipe).
As always, please join in with me and send me some photographs of anything that you bake in March.
Baking is love made edible. Happy Mother’s Day!
