Recipe Requests / Re: Bakers flour??
« on: November 28, 2010, 10:48:38 pm »
I have just been researching this myself and I found this information on Google:

bakers flour is your standard all use wheat flour when producing bread products not to be confused with plain flour, bakers flour is a high protein flour and is also refered to as strong flour or bread flour you can buy it from your local supermaket or mixing a bit of cornflour with your plain flour will give you the same result as the cornflour is a wheat starch (gluten). I am a baker and when i make my bread at home i just add cornflour if i dont have any bakers flour,i use about a 10th of the amount of flour worth.
if you want to know more about bakers flour go to
Source(s):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread#Flour


Also, another chef said the measurement of 1 tea spoon of cornflour to each cup of plain flour will make Bakers Flour which is probably a 10th but much easier to work out... for me anyway! lol

Hope this helps.

Bread / Re: Xmas Scrolls

The Fruit Mince recipe is mine but the dough recipe I got out of the latest Coles Christmas Magazine which you can pick up for free at most Coles Supermarkets. It has step by step pictures in it also.
You will notice if you get the magazine that I have tweaked the ingredients a little because the dough was way too wet for me and I have changed the process to suit the TM.

I hope you enjoy them!  ;)

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I have not been posting... I have been busy cooking up a storm for the family who are coming home for Xmas!

Thanks so much for posting the recipe index, I have cooked quite a few recipes off it and they were great.

I thought it was about time I contributed something so I have posted my recipe for Xmas Scrolls under 'Bread' recipes so I hope you like them... everyone in my house loves them but they could be biased. :D

Cheers

Bread / Xmas Scrolls
« on: November 27, 2010, 10:59:43 pm »
I have just converted this recipe to the TM and since these scrolls are an alternative or an addition to Fruit Mince Pies, they will be a hit over the Xmas period... and they are delicious!  ;D

NOTE: This is a 12 Hour Recipe


Fruit Mince

Ingredients:
750g Mixed Fruit (Sunbeam)
250g Brown Sugar
½ Orange & ½ Lemon Rind
Juice of 1 Orange & 1 Lemon
270-290g Peeled & Quartered Apples (Granny Smith)
125g Butter
½ tsp Butter
½ tsp Cinnamon
Nutmeg & Mixed Spice (Pinch of each)
Ύ Cup of Brandy

Method:
•   Lemon & Orange Peel – Grate-Speed 6 for 3 Seconds. Remove & Set Aside.
•   Put Apple quarters into TM – Speed 6 for 3 Seconds. Remove & put into separate Mixing Bowl.
•   Put half of the Mixed Fruit into TM – Speed 6 for 5 Seconds then repeat with the remainder of Mixed Fruit. Add to the  Mixing Bowl with Apples.
•   Put butter, Lemon & Orange Juice & grated rind, Brandy, spices & sugar into TM. Cook mixture 3 Minutes – Temp 70 – Reverse - Speed 2.
•   Pour mixture over the fruit in the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with TM Spatula.
•   Cover & put into the fridge for at least 8 hours (Overnight).
•   Minced Fruit can be used now or for best flavour, put into large jars in the fridge for a month or two prior to use.
NOTE:  Do not be tempted to hurry the process by putting the mixture into the Microwave or you will lose most of the Antioxidants in the fruit!
This is my family recipe which I have converted for the TM. This mixture can be used for Fruit Mince Tarts, Scrolls etc.
If you leave this mixture brew for 2 months it will be even better!


Scrolls

Ingredients
150g Caster Sugar
300ml Warm Milk (plus extra to glaze)
100g Butter
1 Egg
580g Plain Flour
14g Yeast
Ό Cup Flaked Almonds
Ό Cup Apricot Jam
450g Fruit Mince

Process:
If using raw sugar, process in TM for 3 seconds on speed 8 then remove & set aside.
Put warm milk and butter (chopped roughly) in TM 5 Seconds on speed 6.
Add 1 egg to mixture in TM and select reverse, 5 seconds on speed 3 then set aside (don’t rinse the TM bowl).
Combine Flour, Caster Sugar and Yeast in a mixing bowl, transfer to TM and then add the milk/butter/egg mixture on top.
Set TM to Knead for 6 minutes, stopping to scrape down side a couple of times.
Turn onto a floured board/mat and knead lightly to ensure mixture is smooth & elastic then place into a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let prove in a warm place for 30 to 60 minutes (time varies with atmosphere etc) until dough has doubled in size.
Grease and line a large baking tray (I use 2 trays).
Punch down dough once in the centre, remove from bowl and knead lightly then press or roll dough to 35cm x 30cm rectangle. Spread Fruit Mince all over dough (to 2cm from edge).
Starting at the short end, roll up dough to enclose filling as firmly as possible without squishing it. This is a bit tricky but you will get the hang of it.
Cut into 3cm slices with a floured knife and transfer to prepared baking tray (I use the side blade of a large knife to do this) and place cut side up.
Cover with a tea towel and set aside in a warm place to prove for approx. 30 to 45min (until puffy).
Preheat Oven to 200 or 180 for Fan Forced once scrolls have proved.
Brush scrolls lightly with extra milk then scatter flaked almonds over scrolls.
Bake for 25min (until scrolls are lightly browned and sound hollow when tapped).
Put Apricot jam into a dish of boiling water to heat once the scrolls are in the oven (you can microwave the jam but remember you will lose most antioxidants when microwaving).
Once scrolls are removed from the oven and while still warm, brush the jam over top to glaze.
I usually separate the scrolls once they are cool enough to touch and I use a knife in conjunction with tearing them.
Once Scrolls are cool you can bag them individually and freeze for lunches or start eating them right away!

I recently went to a Seminar of Cyndi O'Meara's and I thought I would share her website with you because she knows sooo much about food....

http://www.changinghabits.com.au/

It was a very good Seminar, very educational (yet entertaining) and I would suggest you go and see her if ever she is in your area. She lives on the Sunshine Coast QLD Australia and is currently touring America.  ;)

I cooked this last night and served it with Risotto (because I had some left over) and it was delicious!

I cubed the chicken and tossed lightly in seasoned flour and browned it in the frying pan before adding. Thanks for sharing, it will now be one of my favorites.  ;)

Hello Mary Brown,

I haven't really looked into it however I went to a Seminar of Cyndi O'Meara recently and she knows all there is to know about this sort of thing so I am sure you can find out about this and much more on her website...

 :) Hello everyone. I have only recently acquired my TM and I love it so much I am now a Consultant!

I have only just become a member on this site so you will have to forgive me if I make a few mistakes.

I would be interested to know how many other Queenslanders there are on here so let me know if you are one. I am also looking forward to chatting with all TM users who I am sure can teach me a lot.

Anyway, it's great to be on-board!
