bread round 2

Was at the Otago Farmers Market this Saturday morning, greeted by beautiful sunshine and a some awesome stall owners.

Was hoping to get some of Kevin's delicious gluten free bread at Lievito bakery, but sadly he wasn't there. I mean, how mean is that to leave poor Taylor waiting another week for her toast!!

Instead I walked out with 2 1/2 doz free range eggs, some curds from Evensdale cheese, a packet of Cardrona Merino lamb shanks (will save that for the cold days ahead), along with a couple of other little treats for me and my helper.

Anyway, back to the bread....
Another round today, and well, with mixed success...
Tried to make

• french stick - not round and crusty outside with deliciously light textured middle - solutions very hot oven to start things off me thinks
• sourdough loaf - actually turned out reasonably well,
• and two pull-apart's flavoured with the curds and spinach from the garden. - whilst these were over-proved, and HUGE, have good flavour and a reasonable texture 

Will take a couple of days to get through this lot, in the mean time, bottle feijoas, make a green tomato relish from the last of the tomatoes still on the vine, a cauliflower pickle, and a chicken and pumpkin risotto for dinner with a glass or two of.... Rhone maybe :-)

Cook well, eat well, and leave the cleaning up to someone else
