Just took 2 fresh loafs out of the oven cant wait to try them
I love freshly made bread. It is something that my neighbours make every day and the smell is so nice.
I make 2 loafs every 2 or 3 days.
Im going to post a sourdough starter recipe that im making from a recipe that an american friend has sent me. His starter was made over 50 years ago by his mother.
My girlfriends dad make LOADS of fresh bread. It always smells amazing. Only problem is, he uses an electric bread oven thing.
Started with a bread machine but have been making bread by hand ages
I haven't quite mastered the art of it yet, it tastes fine but it comes out a bit flat, more like a soda bread so any tip are welcome
You are probably using old yeast. Yeast needs to be fresh. If you buy dried active yeast, once opened, it should be used within two months, after this it starts to give a flatter bread. To produce more action try doubling your amount of yeast. Kenneth Eames.
