Wright’s Cheddar and Tomato Bread Mix (@wrightsflour Ocado) By @Cinabar

I bake a lot of Focaccia bread from scratch, I bake it so often that I actually stopped putting the pictures on Instagram (at Foodstuff_Finds) as I was worried it might be being a bit repetitive. Each loaf looks the same. I already had fresh rosemary in the fridge (for the Focaccia) but remembered I had a ordered this Wright’s Cheddar and Tomato Bread Mix kit as a quick and easy alternative. I decided to give it a go, and why not on a bank holiday.

I added the entire packet of the mix to a bowl, and measured the appropriate amount of warm water and tipped it straight in. Initially I mixed it together with a wooden spoon but it soon came together and I used my hands to form a ball. Then I had to let it rest for five minute, knead it for a couple more and rest it for another five. Actually quite simple.

Then I popped the dough straight into the tin to rise, I put it near our heater just for a bit of extra warmth. The dough rose really well after 30 minutes.

Then all you do is bake it the oven, this Wright’s Cheddar and Tomato Bread Mix really was a simple kit. I added the rosemary for decoration before it went into the oven. The loaf smelled lovely while it was cooking.

It came out looking super and the bread was lovely and fluffy. We had slices when they were still warm with butter melting in. There was a mild flavour from the cheese and tomato, but enough to give the bread a lovely edge while not taking away from the fabulous flavour of freshly baked bread. This was such a simple bread mix to make and results were brilliant, definitely something I’ll buy again.
