Yesterday was my first bread baking adventure.  Sort of.

We have a bread maker and although it does the job, it’s a little boring.  So,  rather than spice things up with a totally handmade bread experience, I cheated a bit and set the bread maker to dough.  What a success!  I halved the dough and made a small loaf and a small cheese and herb twist.  The loaf is indeed small, as I underestimated the size of our loaf tin, but Lord Adlington pointed out that it’s “like toast soldiers without having to cut them.”  Never mind the loaf though.  Check this out.

All I did was make three long sausages of dough, spread grated cheese and dried herbs over them, and then twisted them up, brushed some olive oil over it and put some more cheese and herbs on top.  Easy as pie.  Or bread even.  We ate it for dinner with pesto gnocchi and the whole meal was delicious.  We both ate way too much and didn’t even have room for the mocha fudge icecream and dates that Lord Adlington made (more on that later).

I am absoltely making more bread like that.
