National Real Breadmaker Week

May 1-9 was the first National Breadmaker Week. The Real Bread Campaign encouraged everyone who has a bread machine – perhaps languishing in a kitchen cupboard – to use it to take control of their bread supply. If you make it yourself, you can choose the ingredients and avoid hidden additives. And you can give it time to ferment properly, unlike 95% of British bread.
