Un Baguette..

et un cafe au lait. (I want to go and sit in a cafe in Paris!!)

But now with our new coffee machine and this recipe I can create it all in our home.
Ahhh, yummy. For Mother's Day the boys gave me a book / magazine on how the tricks to making amazing bread at home. A NZ Life and Leisure publication. So yesterday I started the Baguette recipe and today it finished and baked in time for the kids coming home from school. Oh so yum!!!!!

Now they say as one of the main points that bread may be tempting to eat hot with butter but it is best to leave it for at least 4 hours to let the proteins etc settle. I don't think so!!!!!

The crust was chewing and amazing and it was so easy to make - 2 minutes of kneading otherwise just lots of sitting around. Fabulous. Definitely making this again.

A gorgeous break in Rarotonga

Woo hoo, A holiday with no kids for 11 days. Bliss, relaxing and warm! BTW it was an early 20th wedding anniversary present to ourselves....
