Home Baking




 Ever since Days of Ashwell Bakery (est 1734) opened a shop within walking distance of the house, we have been able to buy good quality bread. It has been very tempting to do this instead of baking our own.






Spelt/strong white loaf


Then we remembered how delicious home-baked bread is and started to use our 12 year old Panasonic SD 206 bread machine regularly again.

On average, I bake 2-3 loaves a week.







Very more-ish
