During my first spell of parental leave, I taught myself to bake. Nothing fancy but enough to make sure that I always had something that I could knock together for a playdate.
This time around, I'm going to take it a step further and teach myself how to bake bread using this book. I think I'll turn my hand to preserves too - chutneys and jam to go with the bread. Mmm...
I had my first go and made the easiest home-bake loaf ever. And it turned out pretty well - it was definitely bread, just a bit flatter than I would have liked. I've invested in an X-Acto knife now for slashing the top and hope the next loaf will rise more.
