Use Your Loaf

Come on now use your loaf I’ll bake some bread for your toast Flour, yeast, water and salt Four ingredients for its growth A chemical reaction is what I need So I knead the dough so carefully Squish and roll, squish and fold This process you know is well evolved I need to release that protein The gluten in the flour Creating pockets of carbon dioxide So my dough rises higher I’ll leave it in a warm room Until fermenting takes place Maybe for two or three hours I don’t want it to be a disgrace Now it’s risen twice the size That just really blows my mind I’ll pop it in a pre-heated oven Forty five minutes, I will govern A fresh loaf there’s nothing like it Warm beauty on display So come on now use your loaf Let’s bake some bread today © Copyright KC.Leake 30th March 2015 All Rights Reserved

I used to love making bread for my dad every week when I was quite young - learned at school - they simply dont have time to teach baking pastry making these days - all comes pre prepared - I used to love making pastry - a lost skill these days:-( Hugs Jan xx
