Title: Bless Jamie Oliver!!
Post by: tim on July 19, 2008, 18:49:17
Now I can get back to serious baking - after most of my tins are passed it.

And no washing up - unless you're pernickety!

Brilliant! I love Jamie. I actually went to his restuarant a few weeks back and had an amazing time, it was wonderful, and the bread and dipping oils served as you as seated, just perfect  :P

Just in case anyone should miss the point.

I know that there have been other floppy wares, but mostly too small.

And this is not water - it's just slick!!

PS - can the sloping ends be avoided by shaping the dough?

I've never seen a baker do it.

SO good!! Not cheap - Lakeland - but worth it.

And metal braced, so that they don't flop around. Microwave safe.

Jamie's Rosemary & Raisin recipe is being appreciated at this moment. That's 1.5kg one.

I agree that flex-moulds are really good. I have a muffin one and it works really well.

...and do they stay cleaner - I find I have to scrub muffin tins and bread tins after using (but may be I'm just a useless cook?) ;D   I like browsing and buying in Lakeland too.......I feel another stroll coming on ;D

Recipe? Yes - but it's on line at Rosemary & Raisin Bread. I put less Raisins in to make it more multi--purpose.

Tesco? Not our country one. Pity!

Just had a go with the recipe. Haven't got a loaf tin yet but baked it on a tray.

Gourmet!!

One thing that the pans do is give the loaf a lovely sheen.

I agree that flex-moulds are really good. I have a muffin one and it works really well.

I regularly make bread.  What is a flex mould?  Also, just wanted to say to Tim that I have had my bread tins for years.  Once when I went on a visit to the headquarters of a local and very good bakers I noticed their bread tins were all ancient too. And, I don't believe they get washed. In mine I grease them and then sprinkle with flour and "shake it all about".
Afterwards I wipe them.   My grandson gave me an order for big fluffy baps last week. I used Vit C but they were still not as fluffy as I'd like.
I'd like to have a go with flour improver if I knew where to buy it but it sort of beats the principle really.

Vitamin C is an improver.

As to tins - yes, indeed, bakers are still using their 19thC ones. But that is in constant use which keeps them live. I do it in spurts &, meanwhile, the things can rust. And, after 50 years, they are a bit tired. And, anyway, I love to experiment!

Flex mould? Like a bouncy castle?
