Charity Shopping & Bread Experiments

Back in June I posted the recipe for my everyday bread, a simple easy no knead recipe. It has to be said however that I always felt this recipe was limited in that it produces a very soft dough so I have only ever cooked it in a loaf tin - that is - until now...


I decided to try putting half the mixture into bun shaped "blobs" of the dough onto a baking sheet, allowing them to rise and then baking them. They did turn out rather well, though the next time I do this I think I'll make the blobs higher as they did spread out more than I wanted. I also used the other half spread out into a pizza tin, again leaving it to rise in the tin and then baking without topping. I topped it later and have to say that although the base came out looking a bit knobbly the pizza was delicious.

                                  

I've also been charity shopping and got ...

A Next knitted jacket for my granddaughter (£2.25)

A Monsoon top for my return to work in September. (£3.49)

An appliqued play quilt (£1.99) - this will be used to make cushions for dear granddaughter's bedroom.



A Mediterranean look bowl (£1)

A silky scarf for me. (£1)

and finally ...
Three Ladybird books (10p each) for my darling Flic.
