This is it, no more porridge wastes! What do you do with left over porridge? Generally there aren’t any left over when there is porridge. However, I must say, quite recently my daughters have doubled up on breakfast requirements and I came home twice last week with a saucepan and left over porridge in it. There is no such thing as serving porridge twice, eurrhh.
So, last night , while some left overs were heating up, I scooped the porridge, added a little this and a little that and Voila!

Note for GF people: Are oats gluten free?
It is a little complicated here. Oats are a different cereal to wheat. Oats do not contain any gluten. They do contain, however a protein called avenin which can induce an immune reaction in one out of five coeliac persons.
Added to that is the fact that oats can be “contaminated” at the farm by equipment also processing (harvesting, storing or transporting) wheat.
As a result in Australia, oat products cannot be called gluten-free.

And look what just came out of the oven! I can still hear the crust cracking!
I don’t mean to be out of consideration to people who are unfortunately affected by coeliac conditions. For those who read my blog for the first time, I am not coeliac and I have been making our bread for 2 1/2 years. Today I increased the water ratio in the sourdough recipe, let it rise in the fridge when wandering around with the children all day and shaped and bakes these baguettes tonight. I am very happy with the result!
