Improved Bread..

Plaster isn't dry yet so there is an enforced rest for VT today. He has gone off on his Sunday Mooch probably Maghull and Ormskirk, to get some things from his favourite shops, and also some screws to make the new curtain pole more secure. We have bought a bigger pine one, and some new curtains which are heavier than the previous ones, so he has drilled into the brick rather than the plaster. When he does a job he is indeed very thorough.
Crossword day today, I have already done the Sunday Express birthday quiz. Very easy today it is Dustin Hoffman, who is 70 on Wednesday. Didn't think he was that old.
Going to do the Roast Vegetables for the Pizza in a few minutes. Yesterday's bread was a big success, the dough improver certainly works well. It has made a beautiful brown wholewheat bread with a gorgeous smell and a softer less dense texture. I will use that again definitely.
I wanted a bread that was mostly brown flour but not so "solid" and this seem to have done the trick. I used:
Wholewheat Flour
Barleycorn Flour,
1/4 cup of honey instead of sugar
1/4 cup of potato flakes
1/3 cup of porridge oats, plus the other usual ingredients.
Tonight being Sunday we are having:
Pizza made with a pizza base,
Tomato bruchetta sauce, we have run out of our home-made,
Roasted Vegetables,
Baby Mozzarella balls
Olives- black, and some basil leaves.
Salad with baby plum tomatoes, avocado, mixed lettuce leaves cucumber and mixed seeds.
Yun Yun I love this meal.
