Your garden is so productive & pretty too. <br />How lovely to have your own ginger & the lime & lemons too. My favourite drink is hot lemon, ginger & honey, I love it even in summer. <br /><br />My bread machine is a bit dodgy at the moment so I'm going to use your recipe & make it by hand. It looks gorgeous and earing bread is my downfall. I've never seen bread improver but I'll look out for it at the shops. <br /><br />Hope your family have all recovered from the bugs going around. The photos you posted are gorgeous, they've grown so quickly. <br /><br />God blessWinifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-15367162617859887212023-02-26T07:50:15.458+10:002023-02-26T07:50:15.458+10:00Thank you for your beautiful, tropical garden tour...Thank you for your beautiful, tropical garden tours and recipe! Here in Indiana we call those "Mimosa Trees", and it attracts so many hummingbirds when it blooms. Of course, ours is a little smaller due to our weather, but it's survived and thrived and we love it (but it is messy when the blooms drop). Regarding the bread...When I was about 12 years old an older woman from my church spent the day teaching me how to make home baked bread. She taught me to pray for those who will eat whatever I am baking! Years later, I became a professional baker and implemented her wise words in my baking. As I read your email and saw that you will be praying, and then saw your bread recipe, I thought I'd pass that treasured story to you!

I've never had luck with homemade bread although I dearly love it but your recipe sounds easy enough. I got rid of my bread machine years ago because it was a waste of my time trying to make bread.

Some info about bread improver -
"...Hi Val :-)<br />Some info about bread improver -<br /><br />"Bread improvers are manufactured for the many styles of dough making and mixing equipment in use today. Bread improvers rapidly modify the gluten structure in a dough, to produce a matrix so that the minimum amount of gas can be retained and hence assist the expansion or leavening of the dough."<br /><br />Also, "Bread improver is an unflavoured acidic substance. You can substitute with citric acid, vinegar or even orange juice for bread improver."<br /><br />Jenny of Elefantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775654415138120426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-29387188932998410752023-02-24T02:58:16.856+10:002023-02-24T02:58:16.856+10:00Thank you for the garden update Jennifer.

How lovely to have such an abundance of lemons and limes - so useful and amazing that you are growing ginger, another thing my fridge is never without. Lovely to have so many houseplants. I am slowly adding to my collection. Definitely one of the more disappointing things about leaving France was having to leave all my plants behind - well we did sneak in a couple(shh)! xxLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406333686298786963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-8560233635583612262023-02-23T22:31:04.873+10:002023-02-23T22:31:04.873+10:00Hi Jennifer, I was wondering what bread improver i...Hi Jennifer, I was wondering what bread improver is..I thought maybe it was extra glutin? We have a high glutin flour from hard wheat here in Canada so maybe I will just give it a try.

I just might have to try it, but wondering if I can just keep it in the bread machine till done - without removing and doing the end part by hand. It sounds like a lovely and easy recipe.<br />Really enjoyed seeing your yard and was amazed at your huge tree, after only three years, such beautiful shade. Seeing the different birds and your cute 'pup' is adorable.<br />Have a nice day, Jennifer!Little Quiltsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12554544123244945135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-55311213511723786802023-02-23T15:04:16.184+10:002023-02-23T15:04:16.184+10:00What a wonderful tour of your garden, the animals ...What a wonderful tour of your garden, the animals and birds, the plans for it ... everything, inside and out. Spring appears to be early here in Knoxville, but we can't count winter down and out yet. Still, today was 24ish, and tomorrow warmer before dropping down 18ish again. I'll take every day like those that I can get over snow and ice! <br /><br />I liked seeing the plants indoors, too, and the bread recipe looks like just what I need, since I can only have white bread now. I was interested in hearing you can't get wheat to grind. If only I could share some of mine with you! Or all of it, since I'm not using it right now.<br /><br />I've truly been humbled by the prayer requests. So many people carry burdens much heavier than mine, and it gave me a pause for gratitude, too. Thank you, Jennifer. <br />Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-53518793293711514432023-02-23T06:17:19.266+10:002023-02-23T06:17:19.266+10:00Hi Jennifer.
