End of August = A baker I am not

So the least said about my rather poor efforts to achieve this challenge the better I think.

Although I started well with a lovely batch of white bread rolls and a loaf using a recipe taken from Richard Bertinet's "Dough" ...

...and a batch of shortbread cookies (using a recipe from the bbc website) in the shape of giraffes (using cutters from the natural history museum - I named them longneckshortbreads)

...I didn't do any more baking at all for the rest of the month.

Summary :

Number of days in the month : 31

Number of days baked bread, pie or cookies : 2

Challenge Complete : 6.45% (FAIL)

August = make bread, pie or biscuits once a day

I have to admit that towards the end of last month, when I started dreaming about bacon (actually) and seeing people as roast chickens (not actually), I did start to think that this challenge would be a brilliant one to follow up the no meat month with and that somehow it would restore balance to the universe. So for the next month I will be donning my baker's outfit (maybe not actually) and trying to make bread, pie or some cookies EVERY day. I'll post some, if not all of, of the recipes and some pictures of my creations.
