Kay struggles with IBS and bread is one of the key triggers for her, however, she can tolerate homecooked bread!
How long does homemade bread last?
Store your homemade bread at room temperature in a dry place. Keep it soft by covering and sealing in a food bag or an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Try toasting your leftovers (if there are any) the next morning served with jam, for a delicious breakfast
How to make bread in a pressure cooker?
See our step by step images on how easy it is to make your own bread. As you can see it doesn’t take a lot of ingredients. We made ours in the pressure cooker as we like the shape it makes, but you can use a high walled cake tin in the oven to give you a similar shape.
Kneading bread is a workout in itself, we really want to treat ourselves to a Kitchen Aid to help speed this process up 10 minutes of manual kneading is completed in 2 mins with a Kitchen Aid, but they come with a big price tag!
Until we get the funds for this, Luke will have to carry on using his hands!
