Looking Out To Sea

At the weekend I expanded my bread experience a bit more, with some ciabatta. They’re a long time in the making — twenty-fours for the ferment and a few more to actually make the bread — but they’re definitely worth it to start the week in style. The recipe makes four loaves, which is quite enough for us. Any more and I would have run out of space in the bowl and on the baking tray.

Lunch today was a half ciabatta with tomato, basil and mozzarella. This evening we had more ciabatta, drizzled in olive oil and covered in tomato and bacon. Helen’s brother was supposed to pop round to take one home after a hard night’s playing, but he never turned up. We can only suppose he forgot and went out to the pub. He doesn’t know what he’s missing!

For tomorrow I am going to make some mint-infused milk, for an orange and mint loaf that I’ve had my eye on for some time. I must remember to buy some oranges on the way home from work tomorrow.
