Sometimes, a good idea doesn’t come off so well. This was the case yesterday when I decided to add some of the left over honey and water mixture left over from collecting the beeswax to our normal bread mixture.

Oops! There must have been too much sugar which stopped it rising properly and this happened…

I think (hope) there was some other reason as well. It kind of tasted like it would been nice if it had only risen properly and not burned.

Anyway, I quickly made another loaf on the fast setting of the bread-maker and used less of the honey syrup and ended up with a much better result.

This loaf would have risen more on the standard setting and was a bit dense, but yummy just the same.

At least the new chooks had a nice surprise today 🙂
