Most families anything like ours will get through a fair bit of bread. If you buy what I've always considered 'decent' bread, then it can also be costly. I got to thinking recently after reading 'What to Eat' by Joanna Blythman (in my opinion everyone should read this book!) She doubts that few people eat sliced wrapped bread because they love it, but because it's what happens to be around. Do you agree? I certainly would have put myself in that category until recently. If convenience is key then yes, this type of bread is great even if the taste isn't. We have 3/4 packed lunches to make daily and I love convenience, BUT.... I do not like the list of unrecognisable ingredients on the back of the wrapper. I want to feed my family 'real' food, not chemically, mechanically produced food. This is ultimately the reason I decided to make my own bread.
I needed bread making to be convenient and fit in with my routine, and it just so happened that Paul Hollywood started his Bread TV show around this time. His bloomer is simple to make and tastes great, even the kids complemented me on how nice it was. At around 90p a loaf with organic flour it's a winner.
I'm very passionate about bread making and will be showing other delights I have made from this book later. I'll leave you with a photo of the said bloomer I made today, along with some milk rolls I made for our barbecue tonight.
