Your bread looks delicious. I make all my own bread and agree with you that home baking is much better for us all. I would love to try your recipe for ancient grain bread but I am not sure how much 1 package of yeast is as I live in New Zealand and we buy action dried yeast but it comes in quite large bottles. Could you please let me know how much yeast to use. With thanks, K

About

One of the other great recent things I've been able to share was my love of making home made breads. It's nothing new on my blog for sure, but to most people the art of making bread at home regularly is an archaic, and sadly lost, tradition. But what better way to share the decadence of these tiny, new-yet-old grains?
