pain, pain ... it hurts like it did the first time

78. Wholemeal bread

Essentially the same preparation as for white bread except using wholemeal flour instead of white flour.

Making bread last time, I discovered that letting bread sit in the loaf tin after it has been removed from the oven is a bad idea. It sweats.

I don't think the wholemeal bread is as nice as the white bread. It had a nice crust due to the fact I tipped it out of the loaf tin as soon as it came out of the oven but the flavour wasn't as good. 


79. Fried eggs a la bayonnaise

A fine lunch: fried eggs on toast with fried Bayonne ham and sauteed mushrooms. Now, I've never seen Bayonne ham for sale in Australia. Granted, I haven't looked too closely at what's avaliable at specialist delis like the French shop at Queen Victoria Market. A bit of research tells me that prosciutto is an acceptable substitute so that is what I used.
