The Jaywalker over at Belgian Waffling has issued a challenge. The challenge is to write a post on a topic assigned to me by gmail. How to sculpt babies. See the relevance? Neither did Jaywalker and I must admit I’m struggling with it myself. But it did occur to me that responding to the challenge […]
Today is a day of absolutely no originality at Chez KP. It has however, been a day of delicious food. Sunday is my sleep in day which leaves the Bread Winner on morning duty. So the less said about breakfast the better. Or in my case, I could simply say ‘what breakfast?’. By lunchtime, things […]
I really need a more comprehensive bread book. In the meantime, I did a quick library dash yesterday and grabbed a few to tide me over until I decide which one I want. One of them I read form cover to cover last night. It’s a great book for anyone who wants to try making […]
The pay offs for getting it right are soooo darn good. ciabatta dough proving for the second time. ciabatta loaves proving prior to baking two freshly baked ciabtta loaves nothing beats fresh bread except maybe a blue cheese and salad sandwich on freshly baked bread Ciabatta from World Breads by Paul Gayler For the Biga […]

Sometimes, it’s just nice to whip up a quick loaf…

Parmesan, Spelt and Wheat Bread 250g wheat grain 250g spelt grain 100g grana padano 7g dried yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 3 […]
As usual, we’re out of bread. I rather fancy something pita like for lunches tomorrow so I thought I would see what I could devise in the thermomix. Thermomix Oat & Spelt Pita Bread 4 1/2 cups freshly ground spelt flour (wheat would work but would probably need a fraction more water) 2 cups oats […]
I made a curd and dill loaf today from World Breads but I decided to get decorative and cut it into an epi. Stupidly I took a photo of it upside down so stand on your head to get the proper picture of wheat into your mind. Pretty isn’t it? Delicious too, we had ours […]
