Has any one noticed how long home made bread lasts

Day and a half, tops.

Less if someone else is cutting themselves some slices.

Ha ha been feeding my work men with bacon butties and coffee .

I feed mine with lots of cake. I draw the line at bacon butties. It is hard enough to get rid of them as it is. They lurk at the end of the day, looking lost and hungry.

Have knocked up a couple of wholemeal walnut and raisin, potato and dill and rye and caraway seed loaves today, to go with the lemon, dill and sesame  seed loaves in the freezer.

my recipe sandwich bread is good for 3 days, though starting to get dry on day 3, mould may start at about day 6 or 7, but not always (my sandwich bread has extra oil to get softness)

Mine (years ago) made it very clear I was not to put the slo cooker on all day and disappear.  The smell was torture and they were starving all day.  It was just mean!

The loaf I've baked today is a 100% wholemeal spelt loaf - I've never used spelt before.

It looks and smells good.  Hope it tastes good

Lovely stuff it is.  It is quicker to come together so needs less kneading as a rule

I had to laugh this morning.  with cheerful anticipation I toasted two pieces of my spelt loaf, spread on a modest amount of low fat philly and rather more blackcurrant jam.  Sat down with my huge cuppa tea and dropped my plate off the edge of the chair.  It landed face down on the carpet.  I scrambled into action to retrieve my breakfast before the dog got there.  Yuk, what a mess.  Oh well less jam for me.  It was a sign

Ewww. Hope it didn't stain the carpet.

I've just had a (not quite cold) buttered crust.  Very good flavour and texture!

[chrissie B]

That looks a grand loaf you got there

[Aunt Sally]

It is good.

I'm converted to spelt!

I love spelt, walnut,  fig and orange loaf
