Simply bread

it's 2.30 am. & The Wife & I had polished off 1/3 of it.
the loaf was done at 2 am after about 4 hrs of kneading, rising/waiting and baking.

we'd ran out of bread earlier today and i gungho-ly stated that i'd go about baking one (even after my failed attempts at getting a decent butter cake out of the oven last week. you guys didn't see any documentation rite, cos it's too hideous to show). so i got the bread recipe off here. strictly for beginners (though i must admit that i may have kneaded/punched too much for the second round/held back on the amount of yeast, causing the air pockets to be rather smaller than expected). just make sure you get the consistency right. guess my training in ceramics (gauging dampness, consistency, kneading) did help a great deal.

but the taste is good. the crust was right, with a nice hint of saltiness...and went served warm with hummus...was simply a heavenly supper. now with the warm bread in my tummy, i think i should go to bed.
