We may have christened the oven with the ginger treacle biscuits, but it's time to give it a proper test. How do we do that? Well, how else but baking some bread. It's been a long, looooong time since I've made any bread, and Aage's been getting bored. So no time like the present! I made up a standard batch of wholemeal sourdough bread dough (500g wholemeal flour, 300g water, 10g salt, ~10g olive oil, half of Aage) and then split it into two so that Fiona could knead one and I could knead one.
Ready for the oven - mine's the one on the left, Fiona's is the one on the right.
Fiona's getting excited! (And a little impatient too...)
Don't they look gorgeous?
All in all, a success! The oven performed beautifully, and I can still remember how to bake bread. And Aage was as brilliant as ever too :o).
