Homemade bread ‘will smell better and taste better than you remembered anything could possibly taste or smell, and it will make you feel, for a time at least, newborn into a better world than this one often seems’ - American food writer M. F. K. Fisher. #realbread #sourdough

Good to see Hen Gymro baking so well! Thanks @RobPennWildwood

[Robert Penn @RobPennWildwood]

It's #RealBreadWeek and I've been baking with the last of the heritage wheat which I grew in a field near home. Bread is a reminder of the earth's abundance - photons of light, nutrients in the soil and a bit of hard yakka made into something delicious to eat.
