BIG hole in my food stores

When i say a big hole, i mean a BIG hole!  I had no bread flour left! And no bread in the cupboard and no bread in the freezer - where did it all disappear to?

I swear we have bread theives in the area! I'm gonna have to put the padlock back ob the food store and see who complains!  

So what did i do i ( can't) hear you cry.  I had to go out on this drizzly British afternoon and walk the 3/4 mile to the nearest Aldi! Pushing NJ as she has become clingy over the last few days and won't leave my side.

All i had to getwas bread flour, wholemeal if theyhad it, what did i actually buy?

2 packets bread flour ( yay me for actually getting what i went for, for once) and:

Yeast, icing sugar, crisps, bread rolls

i was forced to buy cupcake cases AND mince pies!

To honestly i was forced, NJ twisted my arm behind my back and threatened to scream if i didn't!!  Ok so she didn't, but she has her ways!! And effective ways they are too.

Upon my return?  Nothing had changed, i go out for an hour and comeback to 3 kids! 2 watching youtube and the 3rd? The OH playing on facebook games.

So i just set to work like a good little homesteading wife, bread loaf and 10 bread rolls proving and lunch on the table in under 30 mins! Thats what i call a good days work!  Whats that ? You want proof that the bread is proving?  Well i live (it seems) to serve 

Cool huh?

Now to see how the finished article tastes.

I got the recipe from delia online, i will try to post a link when i get my laptop back from LJ, ipad blogger app it just a simple writing and publishing one, so no fancy links or picture resizing, or even changing fonts! 

Or am i doing something wrong? Also have you discovered anything in you pantry lacking? Or do you have a favourite recipe for wholemeal bread?
