MY "VERY NORMAL" BREAD

[judydawn]

Glad you are enjoying yourself Lellyj, don't know who will be the more pleased, the family who have missed your cooking or you who is home alone for these few days and has caught up on all the jobs. I'd certainly have the fridge full of food for them when they walk in.

 Isi, have made your fantastic bread for tea last night to eat with Maddys Veg soup.  I was so impressed with it, as was hubby, who couldn't believe I had made this in "that machine"  Kitchen temp was about 16deg but the dough still came out of the hole to greet me, (i had put a tea towel around the machine to help keep in the warmth.  I didn't do a second rise of the loaf, put it in the oven when the oven was cold and heating up, ( as the heater wasn't on in the house, so it was a bit cold.)
Turned out fine. Will deffinately be making this bread again, and again.

Today the kids and I made this bread recipe and it was great!! Rose high in the pan while baking, Had a lovely crunchy top and was fluffly on the inside even though the loaf was heavy. Very impressed!

Will be making this again!

Oh, I do wonder though how you get the seeds to stay on the top as mine all fell off except for the sesame seeds lol

[judydawn]

I know what you mean Trish, mine fall off too.  I've made sure the top is moist, pressed them on gently but most of them still fal off for me too.  Like you, sesame seeds are the exception.  I've just made another of isi's recipes and will be posting a pic soon.

I've been making this bread of Isi's in the van every 4 or so days. I do9 add the seeds and put it into 2 square tins with lids and we end up with yummy bread with no nasties. I will remember to photograph the next lot.
Thank you Isi.

Spraying with water,  before and after putting seed on may help.

Hi guys,

After reading 8 pages of this thread and some googling I'm none the wiser to what "Salt Cafe" is.

Anyone able to give me a clue? Thanks.

[judydawn]

Just salt tarasis.  Isi is Portuguese so some of her expressions are a little hard to understand.

[achookwoman]

Tarasis, just salt.  Isi is kind enough to share her recipes with us and at the same time improve her English.  If anyone has any other ideas please comment.

Thanks Judy & achookwoman, I wasn't sure if it was a mistranslation or a ingredient/product name I simply hadn't come across (which has been the case of a few recipes on here and in Tenina's Asian cookbook)

Just waiting on the my first batch/attempt of these rolls to finish cooking

[achookwoman]

Hope you enjoy them,  many of us love Isi's recipes.

T'was enjoyable indeed, made it half white / half vollkorn and I added 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons of poppyseeds during mixing and then rolled them in poppyseeds / sesame seeds / cheddar cheese and was very tasty (though darker than I expected).

Of the 12 rolls the batch made, 8.5 of them were eaten, 7 by the other 3 people at lunch

Thank you thank you thank you! Success at last, marriage saved haha   

Just like the expensive $5 bread we used to buy but way way better. This is exactly what I was after, isi you are an angel!

I have just made Isi's bread rolls with a mix of bread flour, rye and sourdough and rye - the leftovers from various packets that I had in the pantry.  Oh yum! and how easy.
Because it was so easy - while they were baking  I made  a batch of cheese rolls - just used Isi's recipe substituting white flour and sprinkling grated cheese over the top.  The dough rose out of the top of the Thermi lid after 40 minutes so I just kneaded it then for 1 minute - perhaps a little less yeast next time - but they are delicious.

I just love this bread. I've been using different flour mixes and seeds and it always turns out beautifully. Yesterday with help from Chelsea's blog I made my first Chia seed bread. I didn't tell DH and he loved it. I may be a Chia seed convert.
