had this great bread recipe in her Weekend Reading list so I mixed it up, late last night.  Here's the link to the video...

The bread dough was all bubbly this morning...

 ~

Ready to turn out onto the floured cloth to shape gently into a ball...

~

...and onto some baking paper to rise for 30 minutes (while my LeCreuset dutch oven heats up in the oven to 230 degrees)...

~

Now the pan is piping hot, drop the dough in and put the lid on...

~

After 30 minutes with the lid on, now take the lid off...

~

Give it another 15-20 minutes and then its done!

My mother-in-law gave me this cake stand for my birthday - lucky much?

~

It is a great loaf and will be so good for my toast in the morning.  I will definitely be baking this again and will try some of the flavour combinations next time.
