Updatey!!

Ok, so it's been quite a few months since I posted anything - apologies to the few who actually read this!!
Work has been poo-house! Hence bringing me into a funk where I didn't even want to bake/cook!!
Anyway, thanks to 3 weeks leave (which I'm still on) I got up the desire to bake again!


So I spotted a 'no knead' cheese bread on one of my favourite YouTube channels (YoYoMax12 - check her out, she's incredible!) - I was so intrigued, but I've never used yeast before - so cautious as well!


Soooo, bought the ingredients - baked the bread! Soooo good (will be putting the recipe up!) and I found a little beauty on the back of the Tandaco Yeast box for a cinnamon tea bun! This is amazing! Steve even liked it (he wasn't keen on the cheese bread cos it was 'greasy' from the melted cheese - coming from a man who puts marmite and cheese on bread and shoves it in the microwave until it's soggy?! The bread was delicious! Ignore his opinion!).


So a few things I learned about yeast...
It's not as scary as I thought it would be!
I now know where the fresh bread gets that smell!
It takes a bloody long time to prep anything with yeast (yet very little cooking time it would seem?!) 
And, kneading dough is very therapeutic!


I hope you enjoy the recipes! 
I'll link to the YouTube video I got the bread from, because I didn't take a picture!
