Commercially-baked bread is not to my taste and I find it often upsets my tummy. Perhaps it's due to all the added enzymes and yeast that's part of the modern Chorleywood baking process. I've tried to make my own sourdough bread in the past which uses merely flour, salt and water, but my attempts have always been unsuccessful. Last week I read about this technique (http://www.thehandmadebakery.coop/sourdough) in one of the online newspapers and thought I'd give it a go. Although there's a lot of faffing about, it makes lovely bread :) . Here are some photos:

I'll get t'other one (or more her dad) on to that ASAP :-) the bread looks nice.. can almost smell it from those pics.

It looks a bit like Ciabatta Gill. It's a 4 hour bake in my machine but it rises very well indeed!

Looks great, Gill. :thumb:

Not sure it would do much for you anyway, Gill. ;D
Actually, that raises a question, but probably for the DZ. :devil:
