Bread – Parāoa

The last skill my Māmā taught me before she passed away was how to make parāoa (bread) and I am so grateful she did. It has become a huge passion of mine and dough recipes are hands down, my favourite thing to create. Practise makes perfect when working with yeasted dough, the more you do it, the easier it is to understand what the dough needs. Kia manawanui – be patient, it takes time so slow down and enjoy the process. The sweet smell of bread baking in the oven is always worth the time.
