Bread-making virgin

[BBCK]

Made bread for the first time today. Turned out well and no additives. I also made Chilli with 3 pulses/beans and beef (delicious) which I batch cooked, a Victoria sandwich, swede and lentil soup( also batch cooked) and flapjacks. I also walked 11 miles ( 2 with the dog pulling me) and did the laundry. Going to work tomorrow for a rest . Go me!

Wow! That list is very impressive. All sounds lovely. I’d love the recipe for the swede and lentil soup if you could please?

Eat the bread today , fresh bread is lovely but it doesn't last as no additives like you get in shop bread.

I make Cinnamon Buns and Focaccia from Paul Hollywoods recipes ( use the mixer to do the hard work) I have a breadmaker but the Cinnamon Bun recipe for that isn't as nice . Great for a loaf or pizza dough though .

Here’s the soup recipe. It’s delicious
Swede and lentil soup

Any bread making tips? Why does all of the yeast have emulsifier in it?
