The book’s approach is to rejuvenate the British public’s view on Bread, showing how real bread is made and the flaws in current bread practice. Since Jenny had made a tasty Onion soup for our lunch I thought I ought to try the book out by making something to go with it.

This recipe might not be the quickest one around but the results were certainly worth the wait. The bread ended up taking a day and a half to make with lots of waiting to allow the sponge mixture had to ferment properly. I really hate those breads you get, typically from supermarkets, with tasteless burnt cheese on the top, so I paid special attention to when it looked perfectly cooked. Warm, fresh bread and soup is certainly a decent lunch combination.
