Well we got through Day One without any major mishaps and I actually managed to get something done.
Not a lot.
The first thing I did was to make some jellies, which I should have done three days ago.
Up a few pegs from that I did make my first batch of bread dough. Not only was it the first for this year, it was also the first since near the end of September.
That September is a very important time, etched indelibly on my mind, but more about that at a later date.
The dough mixed7 well but I must admit it felt somewhat heavier than usual when I was kneading it.
I have been keeping a careful eye on it all day and it has not done as well as those I did in the summer.
Now, many of the loaves I made earlier in 2024 also managed to rise well, but this one has been a great disappointment to me.
I decided to leave it overnight so will let you know later how it went
