In fact, I once wrote a two-hander play about the day Macca visited Lennon in the Dakota; and yes, John showed Paul how to make bread. Don't quite know how that would have worked on the radio - which is probably why the BBC back-heeled it! Yeast? One 7g sachet of dried per loaf. Email me: john(at)johnmedd(dot)com and I'll send you a couple of my recipes.<br /><br />P - I can see I've got competition! What do they charge? Mine are £1.30 - which goes straight in the Air Ambulance charity tin on the bar. If you and the Mondettes are ever up this way you'll have to call in. Don't think I could put a loaf in a jiffy bag(?) Maybe next time I hook up with Mondo in London I'll bring one down for you - but then we'll just be carrying it from pub to pub so maybe that's not a good idea either!John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-31656717747126863882011-04-16T01:13:47.774+01:002011-04-16T01:13:47.774+01:00Sounds lovely JM - How does it keep?

Am a big fan of fresh, home-made bread, but not so keen on eating a whole loaf in a day, just to get it at its best!<br /><br />We were in Bridport last month, where our favourite bakers (Leakers) is. Fab selection of home-baked wares, including my personal fave the Chilli Cheese & Beer loaf (you've got to try and do a version of that one!).<br /><br />Other Leakers winners include Raisin & Walnut, Cheese & Cider, Crunchy Date, Cheese & Nut Loaf, Foccacia, Pugliese, Onion Bread, Pesto Bread and New York Deli Rye. Yum!<br /><br />Look forward to trying a bit of MeddLoaf soon??!<br /><br />PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-64505183156104690012011-04-15T18:26:55.736+01:002011-04-15T18:26:55.736+01:00Fantastic!

And positively Lennonesque! <br /><br />I haven't made bread for years but I used to love it - seeing my efforts gradually improve from the instant-indigestion bricks of the early days to something you might actually want a second slice of, was really gratifying. I don't know why I stopped. Maybe I'll have another go (do you use fresh yeast or dried, and if fresh, where do you get it?)Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.com
