Bread Cookbook needed

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

I still use mine occasionally.  I love having freshly baked bread for lunch, but we are not always at home to transfer the thermie bread into the oven etc.  I use my thermie to mill seeds and grains for the breadmaker though  .

I've never owned a bread machine (we don't eat enough bread) - but have difficulty parting with any of my kitchen equipment. 

Even if I only use it once in a couple of years - it gives me comfort to know it's there.  Too materialistic and not changeable.

You are no orphan Chelsea, I use mine from time to time as well (same as you with seeds and grains milled and added - no premixes though, all made from scratch) - nothing like walking out to the Kitchen at 9.30pm to find the teens have been hungry and eaten all the bread. I put it in the breradmaker on timer setting so it is ready when I get up in the morning for school and breakfast.  Otherwise it is TM bread

Hi everybody,
Just wondering what your opinion is on a baking stone for bread, do you think it necessary.  I have (according to the TM recipe) always placed the bread in a cold oven.

It is not essential, but helps produce a crisper crust on some breads.

if you are going to use one, then you need to allow the bread to rise a second time before baking.

They are good for getting a crisp crust on pizzas (which is what they were designed to do  )
