The Scent of Bread..

As I type this the aroma of newly baked bread is wafting up the stairs. And what a scent that is. We have tried the new flour I got from Waitrose, which is an oak smoked wholemeal flour. Looked pretty good when we opened the pack but I do have to say not a hugely strong oaky smoky smell. Maybe it comes out when it is cut. We used the flour for our pizza dough as well so we will taste the dough later.
Mixed weather day today, it is now quite sunny, and VT has gone outside with his cup of tea, and the little cats have joined him out there. The crosswords were fairly east this afternoon, and were finished off using the internet without the quiz site. Most of the clues were straightforward and came up easily. Just one or two awkward ones, but got there in the end.
Tonight we are having:
Pizza with the dough made from oak smoked flour,
Homemade tomato sauce,
roast vegetables,
Goat cheese topping.
Salad with the usual tomatoes baby plum and avocado,
Potato salad and coronation rice salad for VT.
