Today Graham and i (Clare) started making a loaf of spelt bread, here we are adding the yeast. We were supposed to make it last weeek, but it was too cloudy for the solar cooker to produce enough heat to cook the bread , even if we had made the dough.

 

Here is Graham kneading the bread dough.
The kneaded dough.
Heres the dough in the oiled bread pan.
We put the dough outside to rise , we put it in a roast pan on half a barrel. Two hours later, we were still not happy with its rising, then the sky clouded over, im hoping it wont be too cloudy for long.

The first test for the new solar cooker was to get an egg (from the hens) and fry it up.

And results were good.

Here is Graham who is helping out at Mats, who in this photo, is the cook, cooking stew with the new solar cooker (as seen in above photo and botom right corner) , which seems to work well.
