COVID-19 has use confined to our homes for most of the day. I love baking but I don’t want to spend this time making sweet treats. I’ll be rolling back to the office if that’s the case.

Instead, I’m going to channeling the majority of my baking energy into making a staple – bread. I’ve lots of bread recipes on the blog and people seem to be really utilising them these days – especially my brown bread recipe.

Hope you enjoy this one!
