White bread plait

Today I made a white bread plait. I worked from a Paul Hollywood recipe for a plait with eight strands. Although he recommends working with dough that is fairly wet and sticky, I think mine ended up going a little too far in that direction. Still, I am reasonably pleased with the outcome, and it tastes very good.

I seem to have been in the kitchen rather a lot just lately; yesterday I made Ching-He Huang’s Chinese chicken and cashew nut stir-fry. That worked well and it would have been good to have had some of the bread on the side, even though I had served jasmin white rice with the chicken dish. Well, the weather is good today, so I think I shall go and catch some sun.

Speak to you later, my dear blogophiles.
