The Judging

This is follow-on from last night’s blog, the judgement. It was with trepidation that I sliced through the malt loaf. The crust was good, the texture had about the right element of stickiness. The fruit was maybe not evenly distributed, as there was a bias towards the bottom of the fruit. Then a small smear of butter and the tasting takes place. Both Marion and I thought that the texture and taste were very good. So my first baking challenge enables me to move on to next week.

As an aside however we are still clearing up the semi-hardened pieces of dough from the sink, worktops, spoons, and tea towels.

For my readership I include a photo of the recipe and the loaf!!!
