Love the bakery smell? The smell of comfort & fresh baked goodies? Make your own crisp, crusty & fresh loaf and it’s sooooo easy! The no-knead method is a dream and you’ll never miss that wonderful aroma again! Continue reading A lovely day for a loaf of bread!

Friends For Dinner & Amazing Pizza

I love having friends over and the Ashry clan are great friends! Their kids are wonderful and their 3.5yr old is amazing and hopefully she’ll teach my boy some manners..heheheeee

Our Pizza Feast

We made 4 lovely pizzas for lunch using the same Real Crusty Bread dough. It comes out almost like a Neapolitan pizza…I say almost since I don’t have a 500C wood burning oven nor do I have a pizza stone! So for me, a home cook, it was great! Puffy crust, thin crisp base and lovely toppings.

We also made a lovely Nicoise Salad and I will post its recipe soon.

Have a lovely day!

Real Crusty Bread

Dont you just love crusty bread? I know I do. Paul makes this amazing bread called Acien (I think that’s how it’s spelled…) which is airy and filled with holes but it’s just too darn expensive! So with Masterchef episodes as a guide and a million internet searches I managed to make a homemade loaf
that’s silly easy and tastes lovely, is crusty and full of holes!
