"Making Cheese and Bread at Kainga."

Hello,

Happy Monday.

Last week I made for the first time some ricotta cheese. It was so easy, if you can make custard you can do this too. I read Madeleine's blog and she posts lots of healthy things and was quite impressed with her post so decided to have a go. First, I made sure that all the equipment including the muslin was clean and sterile.

 It was amazing to see the curds starting to form.

 The final product which was all mine. I am the only one at home who eats this.

I was left with nearly 6 cups of whey. So a quick look online found a lovely bread recipe at Terri's blog. I can safely say that the family all said "This is the best bread they have tasted."

 I followed the recipe, though I did use the dough hook on the mixer for mixing it all together. Look how much dough the recipe makes.

 Bread waiting to go in the oven. One with Poppy seeds and the other with Sesame seeds.

 Fresh out of the oven.

 Now we normally don't eat plain white bread so a few days later I made some more. This time with a mix of seeds. These were put in at the same time as the flour. I had to add 1/4 cup of warm water to make up the amount of whey/water for the recipe.

Result two more loaves of bread.

Happy to be making more produce here at Kainga. The best thing is it achievable by anyone and there is no packaging.

Happy days.
