- soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
Ihave made my second loaf of Fergus's bread and got the texture a bit lighter.
I used live yeast (Free from Tesco. Go to their instore bakery and ask. they give it to you. I use an ounce in the small loaf)
I also set the yeast working in some of the warm water with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Kept it wam on the log burner.
I kneaded it quite well and set it to rise, then, when doubled, knocked it back, kneaded again, put into loaf tin and set to rise before baking used HOT oven for 10 mins before reducing temp to 170 for 25 mins.
