Walnut Bread

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

In this always online world it can be hard to pull oneself away, with the exception of kneading bread such as this Walnut Bread. In fact, having no internet connection feels like suffocation or like suddenly you are not fully alive and breathing like the rest of society. Somehow though, our house continues to go on without wifi which we won't have for another week. How do people survive without it friends?

This also means my posts might be a bit sporadic over the coming week, but do not fear, there are lots of interesting and delicious recipes about to be posted once I get back into the kitchen properly since my trip this weekend. Yes, there is nothing like a trip and no wifi to recharge one's batteries towards creativity.
