Instant home made bread

More bread

Look what we found! The last of a packet of fairly instant herb, garlic and olive oil bread. It's foreign I know but the ingredients are very local. This instant variety, you'd never guess, is great for bread machines and what's more it's even quicker than yesterday's (below) brilliant time saver.





Pic: Focaccia: easy to make, hellish to spell.




What you need for Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia

500 g packet of above from which 250 g of bread mix has previously been used. (This saves time weighing)

155 g water (use a balance, it's faster than a jug) 40 g Olive oil. Chuck the above in the breadmaker. Set for a light crust and press Start.

Surf the web for four hours before peeping.




Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia - variation

This variation is perfect if you're going to visit your parents. Add the ingredients exactly as above and chuck in the breadmaker. Set for a light crust, press Start, surf the web for four hours, remove, dust with flour and place in the boot of the car. Drive to Mum's, discuss how the Internet is more a good thing than a bad thing. Enjoy.




What to do: register your email at some shopping sites.

To make sure the shops keep you informed, be sure to tick the boxes marked 'Check the box to receive our newsletter'. You'll receive loads of mail and inspiration as a result. The only exception to this is if you have an account with Hotmail where 'loads of mail and inspiration' goes to up to another level and you don't need to register anywhere. Till I got Hotmail, I had no idea there were so many ways to help older gentlemen. Every kind of stiffening device is available here. The Hotmail account is just a habit. Is there a way to chuck it and keep Messenger?
