I have finally got my crafting groove back. Just in time for xmas gift season! Of course I can't post the details or photo's of these yet, but just know I am knitting a lot of new things, so it's a lot of fun.
I have two video's to post, both baking related. The first is from Sept, when I baked Icelandic rugbrauð (ryebread). My boss had given me the recipe before I started my summer holidays and I eventually got around to baking it.
It takes about 10 minutes to get everything together, but then 9 hours to bake!! The recipe makes three loaves and you pour the bread mixture into milk cartons! Quite a novel approach.
The bread was beautiful, very heavy though, so you would only have 1 or two slices at a time, with delicious Icelandic smjör (butter).
Here is the video Stephen made of me taking them out of their milk carton homes and slicing them up.
On Monday just gone, I baked one loaf of banana bread. Wow, one is never enough! We finished it today, it was so good. I used this recipe here, but substituted the butter for light vanilla yoghurt and used brown sugar instead of white.
Here is the video, from the beginning this time.
