They don't take long to make, although I didn't give mine much time to rise when I made one yesterday and the result wasn't fluffy. Wasn't ill though, so a result. Takes almost as long to walk to the shops.



    Bread next.
    Thin, plain naan bread makes an excellent pizza base (our local Asian shop sell packs of three bigger-than-a-dinner-plate sized ones for about £1.50).
    The vegetarian option.

        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          Yummy

          Made a small loaf. Hot, soft and fluffy inside and crusty on the outside. Tasted pretty good, despite my using 52p/1.5kg flour. I had it with some meat slices and finished with jam.

          Cost:
          5p Flour (150g, or 1/10th packet)
          10p Leccie (guess, 3/4 hour on lowish leccie setting)
          5p Butter, jam (small amount)
          10p Meat
          30p Total

          I also made some cake mix the other day, but didn't cook it.
