Bread Success - and a question about Bread Tins
« on: January 24, 2012, 05:55:20 am »
Yippee!!
After having TMX for just over 12 months, and never mastering bread, my consultant recently forwarded a recipe called "Megan's Wonder Bread" - not sure if it's Meganjane from here - but it worked beautifully - except kids don't love the crust - too crusty - I put a pan of water in the bottom of oven & turned loaf out of the tin for the last few minutes - will omit these steps next time to see if less crusty - but the inside is lovely and soft :)

Still need to get a decent bread tin - I've just used a 30cm loaf tin - possibly a little too long?  and the sides not quite tall enough - does anyone have any suggestions of where to get a loaf tin - want to be able to make daily bread for sandwiches/toast when school returns.  I've had a quick look on ebay but not really sure what's the best to buy!

(Who's very excited that she's made a decent loaf of bread - will be off to buy grains/seeds now)

There have been many and lengthy posts re bread making and tins on the forum. Just use the search facility when you have an hour free!!!!

Just been over to RC to see if I could answer this one for you Amanda and the recipe is MJ's.
I bought my bread tins from a homewares store at the local shopping centre as I wanted to see them before buying to make sure they were the size I wanted but I'm sure someone will give you some links to the right size to buy over the net.

Maybe MM should  make the search box a  whole lot BIGGER so that  would direct members to it and save your encyclopaedic mind Judy. LOL!

I need to find the right size tin for the convection microwave so it's able to turn on the turn table without touching the sides. I have a really big one which is way to big for a normal loaf and I reckon it would touch the sides as it turns. More shopping for me I think.

Shiny knight, try putting the warm loaf in a plastic bag as it cools down.  The moisture will keep the crust soft.
