Pictures can be deceiving.

This bread photo for instance…I  was pretty keen to take the photo of this lovely loaf from last Sunday’s baking session.  And it does look pretty good, though maybe just a little poufy on top.

True to the Bread Guy’s word, it was an easy-peasy, one-bowl method. In fairness to his recipe, I did add some ground flax in lieu of some of the flour, so maybe I screwed up the flavour of the basic brown bread recipe because the end result? It tasted nasty.

Too sweet, lousy crumb and generally not anything I would repeat.

You know it’s bad when my frugal Mennonite self went so far as to feed it to the chickens. They thought it was wonderful.

Proving once again that you can please some of the chickens, most of the time, or something like that…

My plan is to try a different recipe this weekend. Hopefully with better results. I’ll keep you posted.
