Bread making day. Rugby ball wholemeal/part white with crushed walnuts. I love this new tin. Other one is half wholemeal half white with toasted seseme seeds. Sliced and in freezer as don't eat much bread funnily enough. Just love lockdown baking. Never appreciated my mother who made her own bread for years and no dough hook in days of yore. Then made a meat loaf with a tomato ketchup, brown sugar and mustard topping. I'm all cooked out!! My grandson is at Granada uni and he'd like to grab and eat a hot X bun!!

Thank you. 😋 Guess what, my brother came round with 16kg spelt flour tonight from Waitrose marked down from £3.79 to 35p. Never thought to call first as I would have asked him to look at the sell by date. Typical, never occurred to him. It's 31.3.21!! I will post it on the village Website. It can be frozen strangely enough but unless it gets weevils in it, I will keep it in a dark cool spot and carry on using some of it for a good while. Shame I can't pass it on to you gluten free members. I'm not gluten free but spelt flour is delicious 😋

That's an amazing price even with the now out of date, I didn't know you could freeze it. The original price is also very cheap.😋🌈🌞

It says put in tightly sealed bags or tupperware and freeze for up to 6 months. But I think it will last in the cool for ages without freezing don't you?
in reply to diana1998
I would think it would but my preferred way would be freezing it, I freeze so much, even baked beans.👍😊🌈
Looking wonderful diana1998. I agree that bread making is very soothing at any time. It's often thought to be time consuming but it's not really, as it's only waiting time, not working time!

Absolutely right. Clearing up is the worst part. I only do one rise in the tin, then into the oven. Every single recipe says 2 rises. (??) Can't work out why as loaves aren't any bigger.
in reply to diana1998
Same here Diana as I’ve found with experience that it makes little difference to the end result. I think the ‘knocking back’ and second rise are supposed to give better texture and fewer air bubbles but I really don’t ever see a big difference! For mess my pitta making takes some beating. I end up with dough and flour everywhere! 🤨😀

Yes, funny that. I've never had any air bubbles, and texture is great so no 2 rises for me!!
👏👍😴💤💤💤💤
Wow! X
