Harvest "Sheaf" loaf
« on: September 23, 2011, 16:56 »
Mrs Digger wanted to make a sheaf loaf for the harvest festival like we used to have in years past.

I made the dough, (threw the stuff in the bread machine) and she did the rest. I think It's pretty good for a first attempt & no instructions!



The "blob" on the left hand side started life as a mouse.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

That's what you get if you let the mouse get to the grain - a very fat mouse!    I'll give that 9.5 out of 10.   The tails of the corn could be a tad longer.   :lol:    

There is still (I believe) a loaf of my bread being used as a door stop in a bar in Gibraltar.     Cheers,     Tony.

It's made of proper bread dough - a 50/50 white/wholemeal base, overlaid with white.

That looks really good DD - well done to both you and Mrs DD. I can just picture it in the centre of a harvest display.
