COUPLE OF CRUSTY LOAVES

for a long time now we have been making our own bread – cuts out wasteful packaging, added preservatives, and allows you to add your own personal touch! unfortunately our trusty breadmaker had reached the end of its road, so some artisan bread was on the cards until we could pick out a replacement that ticked all the boxes.

i really enjoy the experience of making my own bread – such a sense of achievement when it comes out of the oven looking gorgeously golden and rustic!

following the basic bread recipe in one of jamie oliver’s books, i pulled together these two handsome looking loaves – one a hearty wholemeal, and the other a tasty fruit and seed loaf – in a couple of hours on a nice, sunny day
