Multigrain sandwich bread?

Chookie, you lway manage to teach me something. 200 in the centre is less hit and miss than a tap on the bottom. Don't know if I can follow the " don't cut until cold" though. I believe the fresh warm crust is cooks treat. Yup, there goes that diet again.

   Yes Bedlam,  I'm not too good at getting the right sound with a knock on the bottom.  And I know how you feel about cutting while still warm.  I don't always follow my own advice.   What diet?  The one I start EVERY Monday.

I agree Chookie, you must always start the diet on Mondays. It doesn't feel right any other day of the week.

that loaf turned out really well. It seemed to slice well. I only mananged 1/2 slice, and DH has finished the rest off somehow. I will make another tomorrow and take a pic.

oh and you must wait at least 10 minutes after you bring the bread out of the oven before you slice as it is still cooking inside apparently. I like to wait at least an hour so it has time to cool abit

I found the 30cm tin in Coles today.   What a bargin at $7 and cheaper than the smaller loaf tins.  So maybe tomorrow I'll try again.
So 200^oF = 93.33^oC  I should have bought a thermometer but will wing it.  I should not let mistakes bother me;  the bread shop is only a few minutes away, we won't  starve and the walk will do me good.

noooooooooooooo i have made that mistake,bake your  at bread at 200c

Stick in a farenheit thermometer and if the center reaches 200 it is cooked.

I thought the same thing Uni but this comment from Chookie is probably what Viv is commenting on. 

[Vivaroo]

Thanks Uni, I'll be sure to bake at correct temp or it could be a long wait (like my semidried tomatoes).   JDs right I was only thinking of the thermometer test to check if cooked in the centre.   And waiting until bread is cool will be a new experience and exercise in patience.  I'm thinking a good bread knife might also be needed. I think my cheapie is too thick and not sharp enough. 

[fundj&e]

i use an electric knife  its the best

[Vivaroo]

Look what I made today, Isi's very normal bread rolls.  I decided to relax and enjoy the process    Tasted like bread, can't ask for much more than that!  The mini scrolls had feta, rosemary and semi-dried tomatoes in oil.  I will try a loaf next time.

[judydawn]

They look great Viv - bet you were rather pleased with yourself 

[Cornish Cream]

Lovely bread Viv,it's such a wonderful feeling when you get great results with a recipe.

[Vivaroo]

So pleased JD now I'll bore you with photos that I've just figured out to do*.  DS can't believe I made the rolls. These poor kids normally run the other way when they smell bread cooking.
* laptop photo attachment works, iPhone photo is giant and cut off. Oh well that's enough for today.
