My latest triumph - Milk loaf in a pipe tin or small tin - recipes & photos

[trudy]

I have three tins coming.  One for each of my daughters and one for me.  I asked for the VAT to me taken off as it's an overseas order which they have done This has made my airmail freight charges only 8 pounds.

That's worth knowing Trudy, how many others have done that?  Lucky DD's.

I can't wait for mine to arrive to give it a go, have fond memories of this bread used in doorstops (where the bread is sliced quite thickly 1-2 inches thick, and toasted on one side, then sliced toms, put on the un-toasted side followed by cheese and some finely chopped bacon and then put under a grill for it to all cook and melt!)  I don't know why but they always tasted better using this shape loaf. Haven't had one in years, but I'll sure be trying one.   

You are definitely right there Julie, we had them for tea and they were delicious.  I didn't have enough leftovers so baked another loaf just so that I could try them

CC, we all needed, and still do need lots of help when we post photos.  That is why we enjoy them so much when someone post them.

Good on you Judy,

Great going CC - hey, this is your first photo isn't it?  Hopefully a lot more now you have the hang of it.

I've also made another loaf this morning, put it outside in the sun for 45 minutes and when I checked on it, it hadn't risen enough so I left it and got on with other things.  Oops, forgot all about it for probably 1/2 hour by which time it was oozing out of the sides and through the hole.  I just scraped those bits off with my finger and it cooked up as normal so is a very forgiving recipe.

Never heard of rolls being called Baps.  They look like what we would call hamburger rolls, softer than a normal roll - is that what you are going to use them for?  What recipe did you use for them CC?

It must be a Cornish thing to call hamburger rolls Baps   I used the recipe from the F&E Cookbook page 168,I get 6 rolls weighing about 110g each.DH had two for his lunch,the remainder got put in the freezer for another day.They're great to use for hamburgers.Chookie's No Fuss Rolls are also a favourite in this house as well.
Lots of help posting the photo,but I'll get here! 

CC is the F & E cookbook the Englsh version of our Every Day Cook book ? My husband is Scottish and loves baps, would you mind if you get a chance posting the recipe, he'd love these. Or do you know if they're on the UK site at all ?

Many thanks
Debbie

Debbie I will PM you the recipe so you can have a look.Our Fast and Easy Cookbook is different to your EDC.

[Debbiebillg]

Thank you so much CC, my husband will love you for these.  I will make them when he's at home so they're fresh out of the oven.  I'll let you know how we get on. 
Thanks once again.
Debbie

Judy,   I think Baps are Scottish bread rolls,  made with 1/2 milk and 1/2 water.   I think it has to do also with the round shape,  which has a indentation made with finger before they are cooked.

Thanks JD for asking what the rest of us were thinking. Thanks to achookwoman for explaining. Now we all know.

[judydawn]

Twitterpated, I always think when someone asks a question (which they often think is a silly one) there are others out there wondering the same thing - you just proved it    So don't hold back everyone, if you want to know something just ask.
Thanks Chookie.

Sorry Judy, I didn't answer about what baps are, ahhhh cause I wasn't sure what to say.  Interestingly though, there isn't any milk in the recipe chookie, hmmmm. I wonder if I should do the liquid measure as half milk and half water.  Milk makes it softer doesn't it ?

[achookwoman]

Debbie,  milk does make it softer,  and for a hamburger bun this would be good.  CC ,  does your recipe have any milk?

[Debbiebillg]

There isn't any milk in the recipe chookie. I can post it if you like ? Is it ok to do that ?

[achookwoman]

Yes please DEb.
