The older I get the less energy I have for cooking and baking, or by the time I get energy back after a walk it's too late to get involved in making bread.

Last night I said to myself time to get back to basics and do mis en place the day before so as to lessen the time needed the next day.

So last night I made the dough for home made pasta, and then put it in the fridge, then measured out all the dry ingredients and liquids for bread so all I kneaded (pun) to do today was combine
#cosocooking

Home made pasta dough is simple
- 3 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- pinch of salt
- 300g 00 flour
mix then knead for a few minutes until smooth. wrap with cling film or put in a reusable Ziplock. Let rest for 20 minutes and et voila it's ready to use.

The Bread I'm making is off the cuff about 700g of WW flour, 1 cup of quick oatmeal flakes, 200g each of dark rye flour and AP flour, 10g yeast, 10g salt, 700G warm water and about 3-4 Tbsp of dark molasses.
