Recent happenings

Means that I will be unable to continue with the blog,as I have just been diagnosed with cancerI
I need to focus all my energies on getting fit,and anyway I don't feel much like cooking right now.

The onehandedcookblog makes BRIOCHE,

Here is my effort at brioche, I have such an easy recipe, even being one handed it is quite simpe to do.

Here's the recipe.
1teaspoon of dried yeast
500grms strong plain flour
I teaspoon of runny honey
1teaspoon of salt
4eggs beaten
150 grms soften unsalted butter
3 1/2 fl oz warm water

Mix the honey,yeast and warm water together ,and leave for ten minutes
Sift the flour and salt together,make a well in the middle of the flour
Add all the rest of the ingredients,including the butter
Knead for five minutes
Leave in a warm place to prove in a covered bowl for an hour or longer,
Knock the dough back ,and knead again,then either put in a loaf tin, or as you can see, make balls of dough,and put them not a cake tin.
Leave to prove again,then egg wash the tops
And then bake in the oven at 180o ,170o fan oven for 25 to 30 minutes ,but watch to see that it doesn't burn.
Can't wait to cut into it,and eat the first slice.
