MY "VERY NORMAL" BREAD

[Lisel]

Cobb loaf it is!  I'll give the Pyrex a go next time, once I get a feel for it, thanks everyone, and thanks for the pics

[Amy :-)]

I love the look of those rolls Uni

Well I am pretty pleased with the results, I used 200g of wheat which I milled with most of the seeds (for easier digestion for the small people) but time got away from me and the 1st rise took an hour in my cold kitchen, to just reach the MC.  Then I shaped it and threw it in the oven to do the final rise whilst the oven heated up, but lost track of time so I am not sure how long it was in for, when I had to leave I turned the oven off and cracked open the door.  Got home several hours later to a very tasty loaf with a slightly soggy bottom.  I think two proper rises would have produced a lighter loaf, but it is certainly one of my better efforts, I will definetly be making this one again.

It's best to schedule breadmaking in on a day you know you are going to be home for a few hours at a time Lisel but it sounds as if this one will be a winner for you next time.

After two sad failures making bread according to the EDC and reading all these posts about the "very normal bread" I'm going to try my hand in next couple of days.  I hope they turn out like everyone says

Bobbreck If you try  Isi's Portuguese rolls and make it into bread you can not go wrong. I have been using her recipe for bread , rolls and pizza dough for years and I have NEVER had a failure. Measure exactly and believe me it is fantastic. Be sure to put the water in the oven.

It is a great start for newbies  because it gives you confidence to try more complicated breads.  http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2729.0

Thanks Gert.  Am looking forward to trying the recipe and will remember the tip about the water in the oven.  Thanks

Lisel, you can cook bread in almost any container.  Cake tins, Pyrex, cast iron saucepans, , muffin tins and you can place an oiled baking tray on top to give a flat round bun.  Use what you have,  spray with Canola or better still line the container.  Most of all have fun.  Try all of Isi's recipes , they are great.  ( not just the bread ones)

[bobbreck]

Excuse my ignorance.....I've just been reading the recipe again and I note that it does not give the quantity of salt.  Can you advise me please?

Your desire, a pinch a tsp?

Once again thanks Gert

As well as Isi's recipes, Chookies are pretty darn good too bobbreck.  Her no fuss rolls recipe is very popular for rolls or loaves. She has also been kind enough to give us some hints for making bread which makes for interesting reading.  These 2 ladies are our bread making gurus - we love them both.

Thanks Judy,  but it is really just shared knowledge.  Everyone,  including you ,  help all new bread makers.

These are well loved by everyone here, easily 5 stars though my wife finds them too nice and proceeds to eat 3-4 in a row. Likewise the kids
