Botanical week has been eluding me in Bake Off this week. They used herbs, florals, and spices in the tent, so it was practically open season. I initially wanted to make some earl grey buns. But then I realised I've made a load of sweets these past few weeks. And given next week's theme, I figured now was the time to make something savoury. I settled on some herby cheese wheels because of bonfire night. You know, like a Catherine wheel. But I failed to check if my yeast had expired before making the dough, and lo and behold... 😒 So I had to improvise a little, and in the end, I made some garlic & herb flatbreads, paired with a marinara dipping sauce. It's not very pretty, but it tastes pretty good, especially the marinana!
