[DizzyGirl]

Yes I had DS with me. He had a great time. We went and looked at all the xmas lights in town. Mum enjoyed having us stay as dad is in hospital atm with a bad back. Hopefully out today.

Should get home today (if the rain holds off).

Thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS

I made these yesterday and I can only agree with all the positive reviews, this was a very yummy & easy recipe. My friend took the recipe home with her as her DH says she must make them today! Made 8 good sized rolls (I only had 1/2 - not a big bread eater), all were eaten and when the guests were gone my 6yo asked if there were any more rolls. Guess I'll be making them again soon!
This was only the 2nd bread recipe I've tried, fantastic results, thank you Isi.

I finally made these on the weekend and while they were OK they weren't anywhere near as good as I was expecting. Just reading over the recipe I realised it was meant to be 20-25 grms of fresh yeast - I used 20 grams of dry!!!! no wonder they rose so quickly. At the time I thought it was strange but just put it in anyway.

Just wanted to THANK YOU for the recipe.  Made these last night and they were a HUGE hit.  I had to make some uncalled for alterations.

Let rise in TMX for the 45 minutes.  Kneaded again for 1 minute.  Then the toddler decided to CRACK it from her bedroom and I needed to spend an hour looking after her 'poor finger' (I'd cut her nails earlier and it freaked the living daylights out of her), so the dough rose again in TMX for an hour.  I wasn't sure what to do after that as I've never made bread before, but I kneaded it again for 1 minute, then followed the instructions from there.  They were absolutely beautiful.  Super light and crunchy.  Will definitely be making again and can't wait to try some of the alterations like olives etc!

Fantastic news.

These are fantastic. Made them for the first time last Saturday, made them again on Sunday as baguettes, and they're in the oven again now with a light wholemeal variation this time.

Also used them for garlic bread last night - delish!

I made these this morning for a family barbecue and they were a huge hit.  My only change - other than forgetting to turn the oven down to 200 when they went in, oops!  - was to add a teaspoon of bread improver to the mix.  The hint of honey was lovely.

This wasn't my first attempt at bread making but it was my first in the TMX and, like the yoghurt and mayonnaise before it, the TMX resulted in by far my most successful effort. 

Thanks Isi for such a great recipe.

i use bread improver and until today i would not even thought of not using it anymore. I need to find a replacement. Thanks JD

I would love to make these? Where do you get fresh yeast from?

[deedub]

You can use 2 tsp of dry yeast amie78, I've used both methods and couldn't really tell the difference. Not sure where to get fresh yeast from, I was given some by a friend.

[judydawn]

Some people have success from their local bakery (I didn't) but I did manage to get some from one of those continental type delis that sell specialist food. I mainly buy dry yeast in bulk and keep it in the freezer.
