Making Bread

Here is my first attempt ever at making bread. It was my turn to cook again on Tuesday (As is every Tuesday), and so to keep up my reputation throughout Grahamstown as been not to shabby in the kitchen, I decided to bake some bread. Don't get me wrong rice, pasta and cous cous are great carbohydrates, but they are so predictable. So this weeks protein was some fried chicken (the way I learnt from my mom) and with veggies packed into the bread. The bread was normal dough, which I successfully kneed and then rolled out and cut into 2 strips. The topping (sun dried tomatoes, gherkins, peach slices and grated cheddar) was then generously sprinkled in the centre and the dough then folded over. It was then baked for about 50min at about 180 degrees. The next time I do bread, I will probably decrease the temperature and bake a bit longer so that the crust is not as hard.

I am happy to report that my first bread attempt was a raging success and that all 6 my housemates were impressed.
