Wonder Bread

I used to bake bread the old-fashioned way.

Mix. Knead. Rise. Knock back. Rise again. Bake.

A lot of hard work.

Delicious results.

Now the bread machine does it all. At least the more tedious bits. And at a faster speed too.

The loaves always turn out looking great and tasting even better.

Egg Loaf with Rolled Oats














This is a 1 kilo white loaf with two eggs and 3 ounces of rolled oats added for extra taste and crunch.

All I did was put the ingredients in the machine and press start.

I topped it with more rolled oats just before the bake function kicked in.

A little more work and this is the result.

Onion Focaccia














There's onion on top and onion inside.

And rosemary too. Home-grown.

Slice it.

Top it with ripe avocado.

Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Add a dash of black pepper.

Lunch.

Focaccia with Avocado














Yummy to the last crumb.
