It was super easy and one of the best I've tasted since I started researching. I know you can't taste or smell it but what do you think? Would you have thought it was gluten free?
If you are a regular reader you may remember I was experimenting with gluten free bread so my gluten intolerant friend can join the fun of a mac'Bread class. I'm sharing pictures of today's trial which was made from a recipe by Nicole on Gluten Free on a Shoestring It was super easy and one of the best I've tasted since I started researching. I know you can't taste or smell it but what do you think? Would you have thought it was gluten free?

Well, did you mark World Baking Day on Sunday? No? Neither did I. I did, however, pick up an interesting link from Bakery Bits who were letting their readers know they had been mentioned on Friday in an article in 'The Independent'. And why wouldn't they? If I'd been mentioned in 'The Independent' I'd certainly be letting you know, unless of course it was in connection with some nefarious activity I'd prefer to keep to myself.
The article, which you can read via Bakery Bits' Facebook page was all about the increasing interest in buying artisan bread or in making your own. And how lucky you all are because you know where to find help with that. It would be a pleasure to welcome you to a mac'Bread class. Not all at once, obviously! Thank you for reading mac'Bread.

I arrived at the stop in time to catch an earlier bus than I'd intended and off I went on my travels, thinking I'd have an extra half hour of sightseeing. That of course was a mistake, I ought to have asked myself why the bus was running 15 minutes late and waited for the one I'd planned to get on. But no, I jumped on and off we went - to the bus garage two miles along the road! We were broken down. So there we sat, uninformed for 15 minutes while a mechanic armed with nothing but a screwdriver and oil covered apprentice poked and prodded at the engine, observed and advised by five assorted drivers who clearly didn't have a bus to drive among them.
Eventually we set off again and arrived in the bus station a further two miles along the road where the driver, clearly stressed by nursing this ailing bus along, handed over to the new shift. There followed a long exchange about the 'problem' before the new man settled in, adjusting his seat, his ticket machine and assorted other things that needed adjusting. The replacement driver turned out to be foreign. I have normally no problem with foreigners, their languages having been my livelihood for a lot of years. However, this one had real difficulty with the local dialect so every stop was a wee drama of misunderstanding and impatience, dropped money and excited dogs. I will say 'though that he gave us an exciting ride as he attempted to catch up on lost time so at the end of the day I arrived at my destination just about the time I would have arrived had I got the planned for bus. Pity the other travellers who found themselves 25 minutes behind schedule but such is life. And such too is baking I find. There are days when it all goes sweetly and everything you turn out looks as 'though it were made by Mary Berry and other days (probably most days) when it all leaves a bit to be desired. Still there are very few occasions when the product is totally inedible, and that's a plus :) 1 They go well with tomatoes 2 They were made for cheese 3 They fit in your pocket 4 They brighten up mr mac'Bread's day and if he's happy, we all are :-) Oaty Rolls Ingredients 1 quantity white bread dough made with 500g strong flour, rested 1 hour Generous handful of porridge oats Method On a lightly floured surface work oats into dough.
