Mmmmmmmmmmm Home made bread

[Briony]

I had forgotten how good this stuff smelt and tasted till today

Just got it out of the oven and yummmmmmmmy can't wait.

It is great, shame it takes so long to make and bake. Unless anyone can shed light on ho to make the part baked bread you can buy in supermarkets.

If you get spelt flour and use that then you don't have to leave it to rise. Mix it up. Bang it in the tin and then in the oven. Spelt flour is more expensive and makes slightly 'heavy' bread. I don't like the taste personally.

Or just get a breadmaker. Bung everything in and ignore for an hour or two. Most have timers so you can set it to finish whenever you want

I do it around other cooking, the only way to get even vaguely fresh wheat free bred

Be down in half hour, bring my own very strong cheese

Just read the instructions and put it in the oven.

I always have a few baguettes in the cupboard just in case of emergency, lovely fresh cooked with a chilli but I also have a breadmaker but made this batch with the dough hook on the Kenwood and it was not too much of a faff, just the rising takes the time :shrug: will look into the spelt flour as well.

I will make you a loaf soon, but has to be eaten on the day of making as no additives are put in.

Brian you might as well move in what with my good coffee I make, great Apple and Cinnamon crumbles and fresh bread, no wonder you suggested that we get a gang together for Mull next year, I can guess who will be cooking :nono:

The thought never entered my head:nono:, just opened my door, sure i could smell it from here

You can also make more dough than you need, portion it and freeze it.

I did a loaf a couple of days ago. Certainly not put off by the time required as it was well tasty, so prety pleased with the first attempt.

Recipe Though I used all Seed and grain flour instead of 1/2 n 1/2. with olive oil and sugar as per the destructions. Covered with a cloth whilst cooling for a softer crust :rules:


Soda bread next time, as theres no waiting involved. Unless Briony has a tempting recipe to share

Hey, I like the young you can come and visit anytime

Brian is allowed so long as the Nikon stays in the car :nono:

It is great, shame it takes so long to make and bake.

I cheat these days and use the bread-making machine. It isn't any quicker, but at least you can forget about it once you've measured the ingredients and bunged them in . . . and as long as you don't mind a hole in the bottom of the loaf the end result tastes just as good.

I've got a lovely recipe here for honey, cinnamon and fruit loaf if anyone wants it.

 

[Islander]

I thought cakes were more your thing, Sarah

Brian, how do you spell Cinnamon

I did make a fruit cake today also, and Geoff is full up now with bread and cake.

I have a great recipe for spelt soda bread, for those of you with intolerances:

This is nothing like ordinary bread, but quite tasty. Instead of the milk, you can also use water, or vegetable juice (e.g. carrot or tomato). If no digestive disorder is present sunflower seeds can be added and the bread topped with sesame seeds.
10 oz Spelt Flour
1 tsp. Bicarbonate of Soda
5 fl oz milk
5 fl oz water
1 small egg Sieve the flour and bicarbonate into a large bowl.
In a measuring jug mix the milk and water and beat in the egg.
Gradually stir this into the flour until the mixture is smooth.
Pour into a greased 1lb bread tin.
Bake at 190 C for 40 - 45 minutes.

I was Sarah Lee long before the cake people stole my name . . . and they didn't even spell it right :razz:

(Although now that you mention it . . . I usually make a nice range of cakes for Christmas.)

Golden honey & raisin loaf

Here you go (just had to go and hunt down my recipe book)
This makes a medium-large loaf.

1 and a quarter cups warm water (or enough to get the right consistency of dough)
4 cups strong white flour (I often substitute one of these cups for self raising flour - I find it results in a lighter bread)

2 and a half tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons caster sugar
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons powdered milk

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 and a half teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons instant dry yeast

1 to 1 and a half cups raisins (to be added after the "beep" if you're using a bread machine - I've also used mixed fruit and added some chopped walnuts as a variation on this)

Unfortunately the recipe is from an American friend so a lot of the dry ingredients are measured by cup, rather than weight.
I find that a small mug works out right, but there's a conversion table to weight here. (No idea how reliable it is, I've never used it)

 

[Briony]

Thank you.

Is this a "bung it all in" recipe? I am using my Kenwood instead of the bread machine, I hate the holes up the middle

What temp for oven and how long :shrug:

 

[fernface]

More cinnamon!!!

 

[Briony]

More cinnamon!!!

Yes, you can put more cinnamon in yours

 

[Suvv]

Spooky !!!
I have just made a fruit & cinnamon loaf, similar recipe but no honey or caster sugar, 50g of sultanas thrown in with the raisins though.

A walnut loaf and a few cakes I prepared earlier.

Not sure on the oven settings because I've only ever done this in the bread maker. Bung it all in (wet ingredients first) set it to medium and forget about it
But I'd guess whatever works for you with a normal loaf will work with this. I certainly don't tweak the settings specifically for it.

More cinnamon!!!

Yes, If Nicki makes it I'm sure she'll accomodate your cinnamon craving
