I went straight to ignoring the instructions despite this being a new mix, and just using 2.0g of dried yeast. Spot on.

Yesterday's 'pain nature' (posted above somewhere) was the best bread that I've made this year. A tight, tasty crust and a light, slightly moist crumb - a sheer delight to eat.

Here's this evening's focaccia ..

Another couple of small 'pain nature' loaves - I used spelt rather than einkorn this time, ie 2:1 strong white/spelt.

This was a really easy loaf.

Four mini loaves of EPCOT cheese bread are cooling on a rack right now for dinner tonight.

I ordered Paul Hollywood's 'how to bake' book because I am interested in baking bread. When I was a chef I cooked mainly in the garde manger (cold section) and have never done much with baking or pastry. But having my own bread would be lovely. When I have it, I shall post the results of my trials and errors.

Can’t wait to see your bread!

Its a good book. I use the croissant recipe from that book which always works:

Butter Croissants

Flowers are still all over my rosemary bush (great news for the bees, if not for me) so no rosemary again on today's focaccia .. but I did put some shavings of Ossau Iraty on the surface, and that takes it to another level

Not sure why you aren't picking the rosemary when in flower. Its fine to eat rosemary all year round - you can even eat the flowers, which look very pretty in a salad.

I was told not to because it would be detrimental to the bush. But it's on its last legs anyway ..
