Classic white Loaf

This was my third attempt at making a classic loaf of white bread! I was determined not to give up. The main issue was my flat is never very warm and so the bread just does not rise.

I discovered a great tip to get bread to rise using a slow cooker, which worked a treat. Fill your slow cooker halfway up with water, set to low. Turn the slow cooker lid over and place back on top (so its the wrong way up), place a tea towel on the upturned slow cooker lid then place your dough on top. Leave for about 45 minutes. Not too long as the the dough starts baking, which is where i went wrong the second time!

Light and spongy and very tasty with butter and honey plus of course, a cup of tea.

Healthier Homemade Granola

Homemade Granola. I have been meaning to make my own granola for ages, so I am so pleased that at long last I did it and even better, it tastes really good! I like knowing what is exactly in my granola - no hidden sugars, which often happens with bought granola. Here's the quick and easy recipe I used:- 1 Banana - mashed up 3 tbsp Maple syrup or honey 80g Peanut butter (or any nut butter) 210g mixed unsalted chopped nuts 160g rolled oats 100g dried fruit 1 tsp cinnamon Instructions:- Mix mashed banana, peanut butter & maple syrup/honey. Add chopped nuts, oats & cinnamon to the mix. Spread the mixture thinly on a baking tray. Bake for 20 mins in oven 170c/325f. Once cooled ad the mixed fruit. Store in air tight jar for up to 2 weeks. Delicious with Greek yoghurt!
