sun shone for a minute
No, this wasn't taken today. Just thinking though how a splash of colour can brighten up any wet day, or lighten up even our old buildings - Slight change of subject here! To make the bread you need 1lb, 450g strong white flour; half oz. fresh yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, 1oz, 20g butter and 300 ml warm milk. Blend the yeast in a little of the milk. Leave for 10 minnutes. Mix that and the rest of the milk into the flour and salt. Knead for 10 minutes (that's the nice bit). The dough should be smooth & silky. Cover the bowl and leave in a warm place for an hour. It should have doubled in size. Knead again for 3 minutes (if you like add chopped olives/sun-dried tomatoes/basil/cheese here - experiment!) Shape into a round. Leave to rise for about another 30 minutes. Bake at Gas Mark 6/400/200 for about 30 minutes.
