Yeast is the Word

In Search of Good Bread.
Well so far I've tried making my own bread with limited (no) success. Thusly the recipe for stuffing and croutons!

I've tried shop bought rice bread and while Conor ate some of it it cost €8.50 for a small loaf!

Yesterday I tried the Orgran white bread mix. Results? Super. Highly recommended. Really easy to make (water and oil), and it makes a lovely risen fluffy white pan. The mix was still pricy at €4, but the results were great and it was still twice the size of the rice bread.

Still in search of a good recipe for home made bread, but this will do for now!

Shep.

Finding Good Value Ingedients

Heath Food Stores
I started off buying all my baking ingredients in health food stores. They carry a wide variety of quality products and mixes BUT and I have a BIG BUT they are expensive.

Ethnic Food Stores
After my trip to the Health Food Store today I wandered into the Oriental Emporium across the street. The stuff here was way cheaper...for example a small jar of Ghee was 12 euro in the Health Food Shop and a large one was 4 euro in the Chinese Store. All kinds of flours were cheaper too...corn, rice and potato flour were all on offer and all at much lower prices than even at the supermarket. They also had stuff like rice noodles, rice crackers etc at great price.

A note of caution to this tale...check the ingredients carefully. If in doubt leave it out.
