Flour + water + salt + yeast = real bread.
Real Bread Maker Week is here and there’s never been a better time to turn your hand to creating your own loaves.
The celebration of all things dough is organised by our good friends at the Real Bread Campaign, and in their own words this is their message for the week:
Almost every household in Britain buys a loaf or more each week, and the majority of us eat some every single day. The thing us, far too much of what we buy is not baked locally and often laced with either artificial additives or perhaps hidden processing aids, or both.
Real Bread Maker Week is all about YOU supported YOUR local Real Bread Makers!
Here are a few ways you can kick the industrial loaf habit:
- On your high street: look for The Real Bread Loaf Mark at a local Real Bread bakery
- In the back of your kitchen cupboard: dust off that unloved bread machine to bake Real Bread, or pass it on to someone who will
- At the ends of your sleeves: learn to bake yourself or teach the kids how to make Real Bread by hand
As part of the week we’ve been embarking on our own real bread adventure and have featured in British Baker magazine with a recipe for Feta and Olive Stromboli Bread.
And, if you want to discover even more about baking here at the School of Artisan Food then this video produced by the chaps at Breadtopia is a must watch! To view CLICK HERE!
