    ciabatta

    My first attempt at making ciabatta was quite a messy affair. I thought I followed the recipe to a t, and for some reason which I still haven’t figured out, the dough was way too wet to be shaped by hand. And by wet, I mean almost pouring consistency. Not one to give up...

    I was at the farmers’ market the other day and ended up with two pomegranates. Don’t ask me why, I’m just prone to buying the unexpected every now and then.   What do you do when you’ve two pomegranates sitting in the fridge? Not wanting to waste, I googled and found this brilliantly easy...

    multigrain-baked

    I have a confession to make. I love bread. I love eating it and I love making it. For me, there is nothing more comforting than the smell of fresh baked loaves.                  If you eat bread quite a fair bit, it is worth investing in a bread...
