Bread baps done. They seem soft and fluffy =D
Photo looks from the top at 8 bread rolls in the 3-2-3 configuration as they were baked on the tray. They are a light holden brown, with a smattering of flour on their tops so they don't burn. I can't wait to sample a couple. One with tuna, one with butter and bramble jelly =)

Beast of a flat loaf. Seeded and I'm awaiting it cooling down so I can have a sandwich. #bread #baking
Round loaf is round. Flatish and has mixed seeds on top. Jonathan complained about getting flour on his jeans when I make floury things, so he can have seeds getting everywhere instead =P

Ginger biscuits. Fresh out of the oven.
20 ginger biscuits looking top down on the baking rack. They look golden brown, cracked surface like a ginger nut and and full of naughtiness and spice =)

Beast of a loaf, rather large and a little flat.
Rounded bread looking top down. Has flour sprinkled on top. It's a bit flat but it'll make some nice sandwiches later =)

Burger buns!
Again, top down photo of 6 bread buns, they were brushed with egg yolk, so they have a darker golden appearance. These are flatter buns than the other ones. They are soft and squishy and I cut into one to check the crumb and it looks baked and lovely.

And big floury baps.
Top down photo of 6 floury bread baps on a baking rack. They're soft and springy to the touch, golden brown with lovely white flour sprinkled in top.

Bread baked in a tin =)
Top down look at a white bread loaf, baked in a 2lb loaf tin. It is topped with sieved bread flour. Side view of bread from a tin, pleasantly golden and neatly straight on the side. It has bread flour on top to evoke a farmhouse feeling loaf.

Looks like an okay midweek bread =) #breadmaking #breadposting #bread
A rather rounded loaf of bread, basically I wasn't in the mood to put it in a loaf tin or shape it extravagantly, so it's an oval. Looks nice and golden, smells nice, hopefully it will taste nice, with some butter and jam on a slice.

I have one of these now. The Mummy film is so fun and I've wanted a Book of the Dead (Hamunaptra) for a good long while.
Stock picture of the Book of the Dead, it is the black book with hieroglyphics on it, with a gold lock and key. Hinges and ornate locks in brass colours. I'm so happy to have one. I shall have to find something fun to store in it, as it's basically a box =D

All baking is done! Fruited teacakes that have made the house smell delicious!
8 golden fruited teacakes on a wire rack. They are rounded bread buns with mixed spice and mixed fruit such as sultanas, mixed peel, currants etc. No glaze on them as they have enough sugar in them already! I can't wait to cut one open and toast it and put lashings of butter on it =)

I'm reminded of the days past when I made a load of Porg keyrings.
Back in my past days, I made Porg keyrings which were wood, painted with acrylics and varnished. The picture shows a bowl full of Porg keyrings, they are big eyed with orange side feathers going to brown and light feathers. They have a white belly. They also have a downward mouth expression. They probably aren't happy since Chewbacca ate a few of them, in FRONT of them.
