Paphos Life

500g plain flour
Packet of yeast
2tsps salt
300g Water
3 tablespoons olive oil

That makes one loaf, so a fair few finger buns.

I'm a little cautious about some M&S products along the bread line. For example, crumpets are exported frozen, thawed in the shop, and sold as if they were fresh. I don't even know whether this is permitted, even though they stick on a "use by" label of a few days after they appear on the shelves.

As a matter of course, I found this out at the Larnaca M&S near to the bypass road; I do not know whether this applies to the other outlets, each of which seems independent of the central importer.

Yes, I do bake my own bread, when I remember to cook it at the right time. I really should get the hang of the timer on the bread making machine, then I would have fresh bread waiting for me in the mornings.

It's fun experimenting too. Walnuts make a nice addition, as does grated cheese. If I make it too nice I have to share it with the rest of the family though.

Olive oil works fine when you are actually baking bread. It all gets kneaded in together so I guess the relationship of oil and water gets pushed aside somewhat.

I think I got my bread recipe from the BBC site too. I liked that particular one because it was very simple and always produced good results.

Hic they look bloody luvely well done

They look yummy Lloyd.
Chelsea buns are amongst my favourite sweet treats - and that's not an extremely unsubtle hint!
I'd show a photo of my hot cross-less Hot Cross Buns (too early for Easter goodies ) but I cannot work out how to shrink it to fit! Doh, me and technology!
