The Perfect Bread for two in a Thermomix
We have a fondness for delightful bread, and many of the recipes in my Thermomix result in large family-sized loaves, with the remnants often becoming a treat for the birds.
Determined to create a more modest loaf tailored for two, I embarked on the challenge, and the outcome is fantastic. It’s a loaf that’s wonderfully light, fluffy, and just the right size.
While our love for bread is undeniable, I’m mindful of not overindulging. This loaf is perfect for us—ideal for breakfast toast, lunch sandwiches, or any time we crave a delicious slice without the temptation of excess.
Do I class this as a WW bread. I do. Why? I am a lover of bread and if I am going to eat it I want something worthwhile and tasty. This might be 3 points per slice but it is worth every mouthful. I would prefer to just avoid cheap tastless bread.
