Cheesy Garlic Bread - with photos

[Very Happy Jan]

  I have also spoilt myself today and ordered a second bowl set. These baguettes turned out to be very expensive 

you are worth it JD

[CreamPuff63]

you deserve the 2nd bowl JD - what next...another TM?

i really want to make those baguettes...

What a lovely, supportive forum this is.  Who else would not blink an eyelid at the cost of a second bowl and not doubt for a minute that it was completely necessary - no-one other than a fellow thermomixer.  I won't be telling too many other people the cost of it and DH didn't even ask.    His only comment was that with 2 bowls, there will be no break whatsoever in the noise.  Thanks girls, I wish you all had one too (I know a few of you have already).  Don't think I will be getting another TMX though CP63, that would be a little extravagant.

You will love the second bowl Judy. I didn't mention the cost to DH either, not that he would have minded.
As you know my first bowl is dented and is slightly hard to put the lid on so I don't use it as much as I could, but it is very handy when you really need it.
There will be no stopping you now.

I'm sure I will Cookie.  I was wondering if you sent your bowl back to H.O. if they might be able to straighten it out for you - there may be a very simple way of doing it without further damage and I'm sure it wouldn't be the first one they've seen with that problem.  It would be nice to have 2 perfect bowls.

Julie do you have the baguette mold your loaves look perfect?? if you do have one where did you get it from?? i actually thought that you had bought the loaves they look so good! I cant wait to give this a go (will try to get it organised to go with pizza tonight) certaintly dont think they'll be looking as pretty as yours though

Tessa, yes I have 2.  They are really good, have perforated bottoms so they help to crust the bases up and you don't need to grease them either.   

For the bigger baguettes like in the photo, I used this one: you can easily fit 4 small baguettes on these if you don't want the bigger size.

And for the thinner style French sticks, I've got this one: (I use chookie's no fuss bread recipe for these,  for when you just want a nice light french stick - makes 2.)

DH had a go at fixing the bowl Judy with the help!! of a good friend. I had never thought of ringing HO. I may do. I have a bowl for dry things (the old one) and one for liquid things.

Thanks Julie, your bread was a hit last night DS1 (4) only wanted to eat the bread i had to say you can have another piece after you have had more pizza lol. DS2 (2) ate all his meal which is nothing short of a miracle  but he adored your bread and also kept saying more, more lol it was a huge hit at our place i am so glad i froze a loaf all ready for next time.

That's great news Terri, it does your heart good when you see your little ones enjoying something so much.  Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it, they are great to have in the freezer as they re-heat so well.

Thank you Julie for another keeper - I was so happy with this recipe I have ordered the baguette tins!

[JulieO]

Excellent news, glad you liked them.

I made these yesterday, One to freeze and one to cook for dinner tonight with home made pizzas. Hubby said it was a tease to make him butter the garlic spread onto the baguetts and not be cooking them then and there. Haha

I'm sure we will love them tonight with dinner. They look great!

I did however get carried away with adding the water into the bowl, I was too busy trying to pour the water over the flour to make it look pretty and in my pregnancy brain I added an extra 180grams too much water :/ Ooops. I then added an extra cup flour and teaspoon yeast and it still worked

[JulieO]

Ooops good save Trish.  Hope you enjoy them with your dinner tonight.

Finally got around to making this amazing bread.  Yum, yum, yum .... yum.  The dough was so delicious to handle, l had to stop myself from over handling.  And tastes just plain delicious.
