fbg at 3am because I woke up and got up then 8.1

Just made an early protein breakfast because that should reduce that figure in a couple of hours.

Cat just ate his protein breakfast. Not on my bed I am glad to say...

Rain.
A grey day.
The wild winds seem to have abated.
Last day for the butterfly count.
Almost nothing was seen yesterday except for a Holly Blue sheltering under a holly leaf. And a Silver Y Moth. So that was two I entered in the online count.
So a happy Sunday.
Hope Sunday lives up to its name at some point during the day...
Take care.
Time for coffee

Morning all. A bit cold here? 15 degrees C. Where has our summer gone?

FBG 6.7 mmo/lt at 0600 hrs.

Tried making the ground linseed flaxbread @dunelm @ianpspurs . 50% success. It needs a raising agent (bicarb or baking powder ) plus extra elasticity from raw egg, maybe some oil and 25% almond flour too. The dry ingredients need to be blitzed to a fine powder. I like the idea of some whole seeds on top or in the dough. I'll share when I have repeat 100% success. Note: ground linseed is never going to rise like strong bread flour with bakers' yeast, but it doesn't have to be a house-brick either. Hardly any carbs in linseed/flax.

Another idea is to pretend to make Irish soda bread, only sub ground linseed/almond for the wheat/oats/rye. Be nice if a home bread baker could join me in this quest?
 

I was thinking of adding an egg as well.
Seeds on top.. You read my mind.

I might throw in some almond flour., Now you mention it.
