Beautiful bread Bob! Home made bread is a bit of a passion of mine. In fact anything leavened... Hot cross buns, English muffins, pizza, focaccia. Do you bake for a living Bob? Those tin loaves especially look proper pro!

Hi Mike thank you for your comments! no I don't bake for a living but I always do my best to perfect anything I make or do.
Maybe you will post some photos of your bread
Regards Bob.

I would Bob but haven't made any for a while. I used to make a loaf a week but my other half Cat has been baking at an artisan bakery in Leamington for over a year and we get as much free sourdough and cake as we can eat. Which is great but obviously I don't do much these days.

My favourite white bread recipe though is as follows.

1kg strong bread flour
600ml tepid water
20g salt
10g dried yeast
1tsp sugar (optional but I add it for the yeast to feed off)
1 tbsp vegetable fat or butter or oil.
Shaped into a bloomer and slashed diagonally. - you know rest! :-)

That's a good perc of the job Mike free bread especially the sourdough! Your recipe for bread is very similar to mine! Will try and get the wife a job at a bakery lol
Regards Bob.
