Was about to leave in van for holidays and DH not well so decided to bake instead. I have made this recipe many times before as its our favourite bread at the moment and this time I split it in half and made two loaves. They joined together a bit and when I pulled them apart the texture of the bread was so beautiful and soft and I have two good sized loaves. I used spelt flour and cant praise this recipe enough. I think it will be our favourite for a long time to come.

I thought it was too dry and added water to soften it but perhaps if I did what you said Brumington and continued it might not have been so hard to roll through the pasta machine. When I got all the sheets rolled out thin and then put them through the cutters it just all stuck together; this is where I gave up (a first for me, giving up that is) and although the bit I cooked did taste nice I reverted to the bought stuff for DHs dinner. Maybe in the future I will have another go.

There were no boxes left in the Warwick when I shopped on Saturday.
