I did the bread in 3 batches of about 10 slices each and put them in the carrier bag, tied a knot and now I have noticed the bag has collapsed on itself. It must have formed a vacuum or part vacuum as the steam condensed. This means the bread should stay fresh, killed the yeast, bacteria and now vacuumed packed. I don’t want to open it until I next go fishing as do not want to break the vacuum but it will be interesting to see what it is like. I only have a small fridge, no room for much, one small freezer bit that’s all. Not sure why I am bothering with bread, it’s so cheap but I hate throwing good things away, must be all that growing up with rationing parents.
I like using crust so will have a try of the crust treatment next time I go and I have been trying sourdough bread lately Mike so might try that as well. I might also try spreading a few slices with different things and microwaving them just to see how that turns out. I imagine jam, marmite, peanut butter, soft cheese etc will just melt into the bread and when it cools solidify again, might be interesting just as an experiment.
With that I am just wondering how any other baits will turn out, sweetcorn, chickpeas for example and if anything added to them is any good. I have used jam steeped sweetcorn and found it very good for bream so might try that, some sweetcorn in a bowl and a dollop of jam added and give it a cooking process in the microwave, maybe sweetcorn with some cheese, probably daft but you never know until you try and daft ideas can work out sometimes and I never thought of trying it before. A winters afternoon experimenting.
