"There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray, love, remember. And there is pansies; that's for thoughts."

I'm experimenting now with breads of all types, and I've been inspired by the lovely Lisa of The Cocoa Box to bake her Rosemary Soda Bread (thanks for the recipe, Lisa!).

















Here are all of the dry ingredients waiting to be mixed. There's something so fragrant and comforting about Rosemary; it's salty and rich, and its very powerful flavour is oh-so decadent when baked into warm breads. Yum. 

















I rolled it, dusted it with flour, cut in slices for easy tearing, stuck in rosemary sprigs, and baked. 

















And it came out of the oven crisp, hot and soft!

















Here it is, all sliced up and destined to be served with some delicious tomato soup.

And then we discovered that we haven't got a can opener in our new flat. How did we miss that?! So the beautiful rosemary soda bread ended up being cheese toasties.
