So much to do…
…so little time.
At the weekend, I went all Domestic Goddess again, and sorted out the airing cupboard. C remarked that he’d never seen a tidier, more organised airing cupboard than ours when I’d finished with it.
There was an ulterior motive behind this airing-cupboard clearance. I wanted space to put some proving bread, which C worked out by the space in the airing cupboard and the banging of baking trays and cake tins and stuff. So, the cupboard was sorted out on Saturday (whilst waiting for Sims2 to do its chugging thing) and the bread was made on Sunday. It was made with a mixture of wholemeal wheat flour ground somewhere localish to Cambridge and oats stone-ground just up the A14 a bit. It turned out to be quite a dense bread, and much tastier than the ones I’ve made before. It’s nice with jam on it. Quince is good.
They never go on about wholemeal oat flour, do they? Only wholemeal wheat flour. I wonder why.

I did cheat a tiny bit, and used an electric mixer with dough hooks attached. It’s not as good as doing it by hand, though, because you can’t really tell what the consistency is like. I made mine slightly too sticky at first, but rectified that easily enough.
You could ask Santa for a bread-making machine, but in my opinion, they are cheating proper!
