Second Bread club day

Had the second of our bread club 'lessons' today. We all made a Walk Mill 100% wholemeal tin loaf and one made rolls instead.
Hot Cross Buns next time - hurray!

First day of the Bread Club!

Snow didn't stop play and 6 of us gathered to learn, share, chat and laugh at the Bread Club.The club is a trial to see how things go, and maybe iron out any 'problems' before holding the bread club in our future hub in Macclesfield.
We were a mixture of people, some of us having made bread before and others not.
We made a Walkmill White tin loaf - using local flour (hence the name Walkmill white)and fresh yeast.
The idea was to give the dough time to taste, by that I mean a 'sponge' was made the night before and then the rest of the ingredients were added the next morning. This method needs time- like kids do! rather than effort to achieve flavour. Why make loaf hard when it can be easy!
