Steve, if you are interested in taking a baking course then you could try The School of Artisan Food at Welbeck.

There was a time when I did several courses - Sicilian, Spanish, Vietnamese. My mate Phil and I have birthdays close together, so we got them as pressies. Not done a baking course, though. Maybe one day.

How much did you throw away?

None. I chopped it up into 1/2 ounce portions and froze them.

The yeast I use is Craft Bake.
As I mentioned, I buy it from Hindley's in Lichfield who are happy to sell you a block (1kg) or a half or quarter block which is what I usually get for 70p. If you PM me your address I'll send you a sample.
As a guide to others, I also buy my bread flour from there as well. White & wholemeal are £3.05 for 2kg and malted is £3.35. Forgot to price the spelt as I haven't used this yet.

ISTR being told that good bread is only 'made' during the process of kneading.
So Full marks to Brian for giving his Mum the credit for the bread he (and his siblings?) made!

Yeast murderer!!! :evil:

I'm just envious. I can't eat bread, because it makes me obese!

I've been doing the paleo diet since christmas but seeing that makes me crave bread for the first time in ages. Loaded with butter with some nice thick jam on it. You may have just kicked me off the paleo wagon
