making good use of the oven

We had to be up and about early (for us) this morning, as we were expecting a visit from a British Gasman at 9, coming to survey the loft for insulation.  (He was way too expensive, thanks for asking, and we’ll go with the people who came last week.)

I made some 5 minute bread dough last night, and wanted to bake a loaf for lunch.  Also had some brown bananas, ready to be transformed into banana cakes, and had the ham hock from Saturday to roast off.

By 8.45, the banana cakes were made and in the oven, and the bread dough was en-tinned.  I didn’t put the dough in the fridge last night, and it was remarkably stick to handle, so I made two loaves with it, and scattered one with pumpkin seeds and one with sesame.

Once the cakes were done, I turned up the oven and hurled in the two loaves, with the gammon – skin removed – on a tray beneath them.  So two hours oven time produced two cakes, two loaves of bread and a cooked ham – can’t be bad!
