Coconoil – Organic Virgin Coconut Oil – 460g

You'll be needing some warm soup by the sound of the temperature over there! This sounds like me – having a hard time getting back to “normal” eating – but ate well the last two days.

Easter is not that far away anyway, they already have the choccie eggs out in the supermarkets don't they ;-) I just used wholewheat flour for the first time in baking the other day, and like your recipe - I've always wanted to try coconut oil but haven't come across it (though I haven't really made a conscious effort to hunt it down yet!). I've always been quite sceptical about sugar subs but like the sound of Stevia as it's all natural so might have to give that a go too. Thanks for the inspiration!

Stevia is a plant based extract, so more natural than some of the other low calorie sweeteners out there. I have used it quite a bit, and to be honest you wouldn't be able to tell the difference - but you only use half the quantity! Soni - these are pretty simple to make, so you don't need to wait for a trip to the UK! If you do try them let me know how you get on :) Jeremy - Sorry I missed the first part of your question last time around. To be honest I am not quite sure what the dampened cloth does, although when I looked it up, it seems to be to stop the crust drying out... Jenn - I love the cloth too, so perfect if you are stressed about bread baking! Annie – Light at Heart, is a stevia based sugar now available in the UK (and possibly the rest of Europe).
