Real Bread Week

This will please my son and my co-grandfather, both of whom are bread making devotees. Check out @bakerdanski on Instagram.

Created and run by the Real Bread Campaign since 2010, #RealBreadWeek is the annual, international celebration of Real Bread and the people behind its rise. [get the pun] This year it runs from 20 to 28 February.

Real bread is apparently additive free and...well that's it, I think.

I should mention that I don't eat bread at home. Too many carbs for my attempts at weight control. Although I will eat the occasional McDonalds burger bun. [Oh no! I've been outed by the Real Breaders! My statue will be torn down]

I have had occasional impulses to bake some bread but they don't last long. That is both the bread - because it's usually tasty - and the impulse. But on the whole I regard any kitchen activity as a distraction from much more important activities such as ... blogging. Cooking and baking - get them over and done with as soon as possible, so that I can return to my sedentary lifestyle.

Not sure why these people need a Week. Why not Real Bread Day, or the International Day of Real Bread? Or Lockdown Real Bread Year. A Week sounds kind of...well, weak. Or greedy. Anyway 20 to 28 February is nine days, isn't it? Can't you count?

So get baking, you bread fanatics, and share the outcomes HERE!

    What a picture. Following this legend now. Indeed, I’d forgotten that someone signed me up on Instagram a long time ago.
    As for bread - well what can I say? I don’t get this no carb stuff. To lose weight you just need to eat less. And drink less. As I know. Fancy depriving yourself of your dear son’s skill and talents. Speechless. And if you’re ever short of a good book read 52 loaves a half baked adventure by William Alexander.
