Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky, nor will other linkers be required to comment on them. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.
I’m writing this post way in advance of its publication as we’ve had a day or two in London this week, and for once we really are travelling light. I’m also not expecting to have too much time online this week, as we’ve plenty on our ‘London list’. This includes seeing friends, socialising as well as some relaxing, pottering around the Big Smoke, and researching some items I’ve had my eye on, and no doubt a few I hadn’t even contemplated yet!
Last weekend I veered from my sourdough break baking ritual for the first time in a fair while, instead making this spelt bread. It turned out pretty well, even if I do say so myself, and it was nice to spend some time kneading the dough. Spelt bread needs a little more kneading to wake up the gluten, and perhaps I could have given it some more, but a little more than ten minutes seemed fine. It was only after I’d baked the bread that MOH asked if I’d noticed how clean the worktop was… oops! I was definitely, yes dear, I thought you’d done that so I could knead some bread. Just as well it tastes as good as it looks, hey?
