Lime Bread - shaped

 

I was given a bucket full of limes, so made a shaped bread with a lime butter filling. I used a lime glaze to finish the bread.

Tried out a new method of shaping the bread. It reminds me a little of fern koru.

This is how I shaped the bread prior to the rising.

I rolled the dough out, spread the lime/butter filling, then rolled half way up.  I cut strips along the unrolled dough, and plaited them. Then I rolled the rest of the way.

Pita Bread - football bread

Pita breads are easy to make.  Normal 4 1/2 cups flour bread dough, roll into 16 balls.  Turn oven onto hottest setting, 250 C,  once oven hot, roll out 4 dough balls until 5mm thick.   Place them on a tray in the middle of the oven - watch them puff up like footballs (4mins).  Take out, and roll another 4.  Leave to cool, fill with yummy stuff, and enjoy.
