Quick Sandwich Loaf

Making your own bread is easier than you might think. This recipe is the quickest and easiest I know and a great bread recipe to start with. 




 INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups warm water

1 Tbs Honey

1 1/2 tsp instant or active dry yeast

1 tsp salt 

4 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour 


Let’s get Cooking 


Heat oven to 180C

In the bowl combine the salt water honey and yeast. If using active dry yeast, let the mixture bubble and foam before proceeding (this can take 15 minutes).

Add 4 cups of flour into a separate bowl and add the yeast mix. With a wooden spoon or your hand slowly bring the dough together. The dough should clear the sides of the bowl and form a soft ball that doesn't leave a lot of dough residue on your fingers, if it is a little dry add a small amount of water. Knead for 2-5 minutes until the dough is smooth, sturdy but a soft ball of dough.

Place the dough into a greased loaf pan, score the top of the dough with a sharp knife and brush with a little bit of melted butter and milk combined. 

Sprinkle with mixed herbs of your choice.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and baked through. Remove from the oven and slather with melted butter (optional, but delicious).


Optional: Place the baking sheet in the hot oven and immediately toss 3-4 ice cubes on the bottom of the oven (this gives a delicious, classic, French bread crispness to the crust). Close the oven door quickly. I didn’t have any ice when making the video but it never fails to give that crunchy crust. Yummmmmm Enjoy ðŸ˜Š

10 Storage Ideas for Small Living ....

Image
When living in small places like a yacht we need to be inventive when it comes to our storage solutions. On many occasions we need to store goods that will last us for many months while we cruise remote areas. Yachts have very awkward storage shapes and sizes that don't ever seem to be square. But if we are creative in how we use these spaces we can surprisingly fit an amazing amount of items. The key is to stay organised with a system so you remember where and when items were stored. When we shop we SHOP .... Finding storage space for all of this can be daunting. Get organised and it will be surprisingly easy. 1. Roll instead of fold. In a home that hasn't got one square cupboard, folding towels and fitted sheets into these spaces is a chore in itself. So why not roll your linens? Just as it does in a suitcase, the rolling method creates more space and you do not have to worry about these items not fitting correctly. We store them grouped together eg

Catching and Cooking Mackerel

Image
Grandson Kristian lands his first Mackerel The Spanish mackerel the Spotted mackerel and the School mackerel are probably the most popular of the mackerel species in Australia and a very popular sport fish.   The Spanish mackerel can be mistaken for wahoo, but can be distinguished by the shorter dorsal fin with less (15-18) dorsal spines and the external bone and upper jaw which both extend to just behind the eye. Smaller Spanish mackerel may also be confused for other mackerel species such as slimy mackerel. They are blue to grey on their dorsal side (back) with many narrow vertical bands along their sides and a grey-silver colour on their belly. The Spotted Mackerel is easily identified with four rows of large black spots over its sides. The School mackerel is the smallest of mackerel caught along the coast. They have two or three rows of large dark blotches, with a white patch on the dorsal fin. They are great fighters with excessive speeds in the water.
