Hello there,
Today is the bread day.
BTW, the bread that I gave baked yesterday FINALLY came out as the bread should. It was delicious and well baked and absolutely wonderful!
What I did,
300gr rye flour I mixed with
100g polenta (corn flour), also I mixed
1 super small (I mean really small) tea spoon of baking soda (soda bikarbona).
Then I added the water and stirred well (by hand!) for 5 minutes. Boy, was I tired!!!
Now, how much water - I haven't put too much! What I was looking for is the mass that would be compact and just a bit wet(tish).
And, I've decided a different approach: I've decided to let my dough rest for an hour.
Then, I mixed it a bit (max a minute) and put it in the oven dish.
This time, I cut the dough like this: --I----I----I--
So, what I got were 8 smaller pieces.
When I've cut the dough in the dish, I've really cut it completely, to the bottom (although that was not my intention; the intention was just to make the incisions 5mm deep, to get it well baked from inside, too).
But, no! I got 8 small rolls, each super filling.
Ok, menu for today:
Breakfast:
I ate two rolls with 2 sunny side up eggs :D + a small sin - 2 super small slice of goat cheese (from my Mum).
Lunch:
Leak soup with smoked ham.
In 0.75l water cook 100gr smoked ham, either cut in small pieces or all n one piece. I prefer small pieces, as it cooks much fatter.
After 1/2h, add chopped carrots - do not chop them too small, as I like my vegetables a bit crunchy.
Here, I added a spoon of red pepper paste, just that it gets a bit of colour. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Add chopped leeks (I had 2, smaller ones, approx 200gr). I've chopped them into 2cm pieces. Do not forget to was them beforehand!
Then let them cook for another 10 minutes. Add some salt, not too much as ham is salty already, and some pepper.
That's it. Eat it with the bread.
Since I had taken no snack with me, I have decided to treat myself (when sinning, let's sin all the way, lol)
So, I had a small portion of chips (pomfri).
That's it.
For dinner...
Well, as I have sinned so much, I'll sin all the way: another small piece of cheese with my lovely bread!
Mmmm...
C'est tout!
