Baking bread

[ItsNotOnlyTheGoodBits]

Ok - baking bread for the first time. It has done the required time in the oven, but how do I know it is cooked all through. I don't want to slice it and find it is all doughy inside.

Why did i decide to have a domestic goddess moment toda?

Baked bread yesterday following ecoworriers recipe and it was yummy goodbye to shop bought bread, will do this from now on. Looking forward to adding things and baking lots of different breads
soda bread sounds good too, have to give that a try.

I am an expat stay at home Dad who lives in Germany. In a village we used to stay at in the Alps they used to make these fantastic bread rolls which are called "Semmel" in German. They put in potato pieces which I can attest taste deliscious. Try uwing grated potato and perhaps even water left from boiling the spuds.

I am into the bread baking thing down here too. You can actually go to the health food shop and they grind the flour for you - I bought a kilo yesterday. Can't wait to try it.

I read somewhere on the web that there is a revival in village bakeries in Britain. In my town here you can buy tasty fresh baked bread from small bakeries everywhere.

I agree - we're in Germany too and the bread is so much nicer. I particularly like the sweet ones in the shape of little men, complete with pipe! Plus, in every bakery you go in, they always give the children a bread roll for free. Once I'd got DD out of wailing "But I wanted a chocolate one" it all went ok
