It all began when I bought that giant bottle of active dry yeast three weeks ago ... and since then, I've been kneading, baking, eating, inhaling, dreaming bread. Four loaves and a huge stack of naan devoured in three weeks? No wonder my jeans are getting tight.
Indian naan (with homemade chicken coconut curry)
Cinnamon raisin swirl
Rosemary and cracked pepper loaf with a parmesan swirl
Babka with the prettiest twists of chocolate
There's something brilliantly therapeutic about getting your fingers into mounds of dough, catching deliciously earthy whiffs of yeast, watching the dough rise and smoothen, waiting a painful half an hour for it to bake ... and then slicing through the loaf, getting a puff of steam in your face, and delighting in how pretty your swirlies turned out :) Mmmmm.
