Paul, I would be really interested in the recipe for the loaf that tastes like crumpets when you have the time to post it
OK, it's not a thermomix recipe though!
85g rice (any rice is fine)
250ml water
Strong plain flour 500g
15g salt
1 dessert spoon yeast
Cook the rice in a small saucepan by the absorption method (Cover it with enough water to reach the first joint of your little finger when resting on the rice in the saucepan. Bring to boil, then simmer for 20 minutes covered).
Let the rice cool for about 10 minutes, then mix it with the flour with the tips of your fingers. Add the 250ml of warm water, the salt and yeast and mix until it all comes together - no kneading, just until it mixes. The dough will be very soft and a bit sticky, that's fine. Leave it to rise for 90 minutes. Knock it down, add more flour if it is too soft and knead for a minute or so, not very long. Place it in a buttered loaf tin, leave it to rise again for 30-45 minutes and bake at 230 for 15 minutes, 200 for 15 then tip it out of the tin and bake on its side at 180 for 15 minutes. If the top starts to get too brown cover it with some foil Yat any time during the cooking.
It remains moist for ages and doesn't dry out like other bread. Toasted, it tastes to me like crumpets. Supposedly excellent for chicken sandwiches too.
The original post is in bread.
