Freshly baked loaf of breadwith poppy seed
White bread with poppy seed, basted with milk to bind the poppy seed and give a crisp, golden crust.

Variously known as "Granddad's Famous White Bread", "Granddad's Magic Bread" and "Granddad's Bread", my bread always goes down well with the children and adults alike.

I claim tenaciously that my bread is the best tasting bread I've eaten in all my life.

Whether baked in the fan forced oven at home or in the camp oven on the camp fire, there's nothing like the smell, feel and taste of hot bread with the butter running down your fingers.

In a future post I'll give a bead recipe and some baking tips.
