Brown Bread! (don’t forget the butter and jam).

If you, like most mothers feel at one point or another like you aren’t living up to the expected ‘Super mum’ status that we all seem to think we should have then I have the solution!
Well not a permanent solution but it will temporarily make you feel like you are a great Irish Mammy – Bread.
I just discovered that baking bread is really easy, pretty quick and not only does it make the house smell great but, but it makes you (me) feel like your are giving your family something nutritious and home baked. And hopefully in years to come it will be one of the reasons why they will come home on a Sunday to visit their parents.  And to top it all off I calculated that my lovely loaf of brown bread which is really quite big, only cost me €1 to make!
My boys don’t always eat their five portions of fruit and veg a day. Some days its more like five portions of biscuits. And thankfully I’ve reached the stage where I realise its not something to stress about. As long as the biscuit days don’t out number the fruit and veg days then I can live with it. Baking bread makes me feel like I’m making the effort to improve their diet. And if you have the time and the patients its great to let your little budding chefs help with the mixing and measuring -be warned it does get messy but they will love it.

The recipe I used is from Rachael Allen’s ‘Bake’ pg. 109. So go forth and bake and bring out your ‘inner Mammy‘!
