Soo - I have only owned my thermie a week, and I have tried twice to make bread - both unsuccessful :-(

My first attempt was the sweet buns ( I dont think they were given enough rise time - they were extremely dense - family liked them - they gave me indigestion!)

Lastnights attempt was the basic bread mix in EDC but done with Buckwheat and converted (planned to anyway) to dinner rolls

I used grapeseed oil instead of olive oil too .

I turned the oven on high, then turned off, and placed dough in a bowl with teatowel on top. Left to rest for an hr.
Pulled it out, the outside was slightly crunchy - inside was a sticky mess :-( :-( I think teh oven was too warm and shouldve waited a few minutes before I popped it in to rise.

All I want is a yummy home made roll to have with dinner!!
Whaaaah 

Thankyou. Forgot to say I dont have an Icecream maker :-(

And if Im cooking other veggies and chicken on top - make sure I hit the Varoma button?

Is it possible?
I am a newbie to this lol

HI there :-)
My name is Melissa, and I gave birth to our families newest addition, yesterday afternoon. I am so rpud to be a Thermo owner!

We live on a 700 acre dairy/cropping farm, nestled in national parks on the north west coast of Tas, with my husband, and 3 gorgeous girls.

We are very busy around here, running 3 dairyfarms, my role is office duties,which consume most days,house duties, and day to day dealings with our girls.

My hobby is horses ( which can take up just as much time as children, and I do long distance riding called endurance- average rides have a length of 80km. I adore my horses, and am always striving to better my knowledge and relationship with mine.

I am not the worlds best cook, but I am hoping to become one, thanks to our TM.

i like simple, straightforward, family meals and I do love to try new things, as long as I don't have consecutive fails!

My entry into the land of TM cooking yesterday consisted of - raspberry sorbet for afternoon tea - the girls appreciated that one.
Butter - so easy!
Peanut butter - would like to learn to make the Kraft tasting type for the younger girls - but this one tasted similar to the type my eldest likes ( almond butter)
Chicken Veloute - easy! I even managed to cook the vegetables to perfection - Potato soup for the reduction
Chocolate custard made super thick ( maybe too thick) it was a bit gritty, but I think we learnt the jug wasn't completely dry..

All this and I felt SO accomplished! The family were impressed!
So I am on a mission to learn so many new ideas for our family, and look into meal planning. With time being so limited. As much as I would LOVE to keep trawling through the recipes, I would appreciate it, if long term members could point me in the general direction to a few suggestions, based on my wishlist above :-)

Feel free anyone, to contact me via pm. I would love to hear from ladies i the same boat as me!!
Have a great day
