Now Andrew is 13 he has a new chore - baking our morning fruit bread. He's been adding sultanas and dried apricots. I add linseeds and quinoa. It comes out perfect every time - two or three times a week.
Well I preface this with - I have a breadmaker. I use (in order) 310ml water (10.5 liquid oz), 4 cups plain or bread flour. Can make half a cup of this wholemeal. Then a teaspoon of yeast, a glug (tablespoon) of oil - I use olive oil. And some spices to taste. We sometimes use lots, sometimes none at all. Then between 1 and 2 cups of something fruity/nutty. Every loaf is different. We add really whatever we have in the house. Dates, sultanas, currants, dried apricots, walnuts, pepitos, sunflower seeds, linseeds, quinoa.
That looks and sounds great, Liz, and Andrew! Care to share that recipe?
