People reading this thread and contributing must be passionate about it .... so why note make it.
I wish more people would make their own bread at home. It is so rewarding and so easy and so quick. I make bread once a day ... sometimes twice. The preperation is so quick .... a few minutes. French bread better than you have ever tasted. Focaccia. Ciabatta. Bagels like you cannot ever buy - I've spent a while developing a recipe which is like the bagels I use to eat from the all-night bakery in Vallance Road in the East-end of Lonodon. It is also so cheap and you can use the best ingredients. And of course there's making real pizza using sour-dough (bigga) just like they do in Naples.
There can be very few things more rewarding than baking and eating your own bread every day.
Even with a very busy life style, bread can become a real passion.
What do I have to do?
