Cooking is an art but baking is a science! Check out mine and others' experiments... and their varying degrees of sucess here on bake away. All for the love of baking.

having been given an amazing book on bread for my birthday (thankyou Abs) i set about a successful breadmaking attempt.

New learnings - such as how to tell when the dough is risen (but not under-risen or over-risen) from smell and touch (as opposed to relying on a set amount of time) -saw me make my best loaf yet. this is a simply country loaf (enjoyed with some Hereford Hop cheese)… hopefully more exciting things will follow.
