Boiled bread

Last night we tried the recipe for Bread in a bag from An Early Meal. It was interesting rather than yummy, but went well with the viking theme.

We made the dough into fist-sized balls, tied them into cloth pieces and boiled them for half an hour. 

Flatbread

I tried a simple flatbread recipe yesterday.

300 ml flour
125 ml water
a pinch of salt

I combined several different flours and kneaded a dough, and made 8 flat cakes which I cooked on a frying pan with no grease. They were a bit on the thick side, but the proportions of the dough works.

Playing with sourdough

I am testning bread recipes using sourdough. Having moved a couple of months ago means that the oven and I need to get to know each other. Things come out darker than I expect and I am not yet in the habit of using a thermometer on my bread. I might start doing that soon. Funny that, how much electrical ovens can vary.

Yesterday I tried this overnight sourdough bread recipe and made buns for brekfast. They turned out good, but involved a bit too much waiting for breakfast to really become a favourite.
