Got back into making my own bread. Pretty easy, bread tastes better than anything at the store, and it makes the whole house smell great!

One wood-fired fruit loaf!
Smells fantastic.
A small soda bread to have with lunch.
New loaf: coffee, date and almond.
New bread!
Bit of an experiment. Contains ricotta, spices and glacΓ© cherries.
Experiment loaf!
I made this like youβd make croissant dough, but instead of butter, I made a praline mix and used that. Then let it proof as a loaf and baked as normal.
Smells fantastic.
Baked a tasty #fruitLoaf today and then a karahi gosht pork curry, served in basmati rice with home made lime pickles on the side.
Inside.
No loaf just dropped.
Hazelnut with choc cinnamon swirl.
Havenβt baked in two weeks due to being away. So baked today as Iβm out of bread.
New #fruitLoaf just out the oven. Nutmeg, date and Grana Padano cheese, for something different.
I managed to forget to turn the oven down (usually pre-heat to 220Β°C then turn down to 185Β°C after the initial steam blast for 44mins), so this one baked for 22mins at 220Β°C and 9 mins at 180Β°C. When it cools, Iβll see how that changed (or didnβt) the texture.
Fresh #fruitBread
Vanilla, cinnamon & mace spices with toasted almonds, dayes, apricots and figs.
Hmm, my loaf seems to be a cyclops with a nose but no mouth.
Iβm out of Christmas food to have for breakfast, so itβs back to #fruitLoaf baking.
Oooh Il due ciabatta fresco della forne.
Now itβs cooled, hereβs a crumb shot.
Good fruit distribution. Sample piece quite tasty. #breadPosting #bread #crumb
Todayβs #fruitLoaf contains barberry, star anise, cinnamon, fennel seeds, carraway seeds and black cumin seeds, as well as dates, pecans, apricots and figs.
See that dip in the middle? Thatβs what happens when you forget you were proving the dough and it expands enough to come in contact with the plastic wrap you had on top, so you need to punch down and re-proof it, which this recipe doesnβt like.
Itβll taste fine though. #breadPosting #fruitLoaf
Todayβs #fruitLoaf is apple and almond with a strawberry jam swirl.
