Sorry not sure if this is where I should post but it would be good if Thermomix bought out a bread book. A book full of breads, cakes, muffins, pastry etc. I am absolutely loving making bread.
-
Wow Dizzy. I agree. TC has me whipping up the most interesting breads imaginable.
Isi's Easy portugese rolls are a real winner.
I am finding so many recipes just in this forum to keep me busy.
And the kookaburras love the crusts they are getting as leftovers from DGS who will only eat square white bread (We have to keep cutting off the crusts to make it square for him)

I'm sure there are enough recipes on here or on blogs to make up your own recipe book DG - tried and true recipes with reviews, what more could you ask for ;)
-
Bread is such good fun to make, there are endless varieties, and I have to agree with Judy that there are plenty here. Once you have mastered the basics in the TMX, add your own special twist. Not sure that TMX HO is the best place to produce good bread recipes. The recipe in the EDC method is not right, although the ingredients are fine.
-
I agree DG even though tehre are many recipes on here..they should translate the french bread book...every kind of dough you could think of in it (or almost) :)
-
HO is definitely the wrong place, especially since they don't have tenina there anymore. haven't heard a peep out of the new recipe developer; don't know her name or anything that she/he does - tenina is a hard act to follow.
-
Thanks for your replies girls. I guess I just need some more confidence. If any of you have the time, I really aprreciate it if you could do me a list of easy breads to make and tips also. :D ;D
I guess HO really isn't the place and I have got so many here to try. Can all bread be risen in the oven at 50C?
Thank you ever so much

Judy is so right - again!
If HQ bring out a bread book it will only be another (dare I say over-priced) book of recipes that may or not be tested properly.
One thing we know for sure about all the recipes on this forum is that they are thoroughly tested! :)

DG. if you use the oven to prove your bread, try 70o. Should double in 1/2 an hour. Make sure you spray with plenty of water so it can expand easily and not have to fight against a hard crust.
-
Hi girls, If you put your dough in the oven to prove, do you wrap it in a tea towel and spray it, or do you just put it in unwrapped and spray it before you put it in at 70c.
-
Nola, I leave it in the TMX bowl, covered with THX lid, spray with a little water , and pop the whole into the oven.
You could put dough into a ceramic or SS bowl , spray with water , cover with plastic wrap and into oven.
The tea towel would absorb water from the dough, and you don't want that.
If you put the dough into the oven, on an oven sheet, you would have to spray it 3/4 times to prevent it drying out.
-
In the cooler weather I put my dough into the oven with a bowl of boiling water on the floor. I close the oven door and it seems to rise nicely. If I need to I will exchange the cold water and put boiling water in again. The moisture seems to help too.
-
I am gonna try baps next - I just love how soft they are. wish me luck ;)
-
Good idea cookie. I also sometimes place it over a sink of hot water.
-
auds when i want soft roll i still use the no fuss dough + 1 teaspoon of bread improver
after you take them out of the oven, slightly cool then pop them in a platic bag
-
I am making savoury scrolls and now know where I went wrong. I didn't spray with water or cover with wrap and it had gone hard on the outside and therefore didn't roll well. I will see how they turn out.
Thanks for all your advice girls. i think I need to get a little note book and write all the tips in it.
-
fingers crossed for you bella

I take it this means knead, spray, wrap Uni ;D
-
;D yes JD it does, but sometimes i just do ksp = Knead Spary plate, depending on the weather ;D

I used to spray my bread prior to setting it aside to rise, Never had any problems with it,
But now I find if I oil my benchtop and my hands, Plop the dough out of TC onto the oil and lightly knead by hand I get a better surface on the loaves at the end.
And the dough doesn't stick to the bowl and the plastic wrap/towel like it always seemed to when I sprayed with water.
Punching down and shaping the bread is also simpler with an oiled bench rather than floured I find..
It may not work for all types of bread?. :-))
Just a thought...
