Allotments 4 All

thanks all for your help!
am now the proud owner of a panasonic and it's baking its very first loaf as I type ;D
the house smells deelishus and it's a welcome distraction to stop me from spending the rest of the BH weekend with my face pressed up against the window, watching the rain and thinking of all the things I could be doing at my allotment :(

Well Done, now if you want a super recipe for a granary type loaf  let me know XX Jeannine

OH and take it the out the minute you can and pop it on a cooling tray,  it will be crisper that way

cooling on a rack as I type ;D
OH has already had his wrist slapped for nibbling the corner as soon as it came out of the tin ::)

NL, you will be baking your little socks off all weekend......well the machine will be anyhow! ;D ;D Congratulations!
I tend to use this book for recipes instead of the one that came with the machine

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fresh-Bread-Morning-Your-Machine/dp/0716021544/ref=sr_1_4/202-4111616-8561465?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180272891&sr=1-4

Good value for money and tends to use more natural ingredients. The seeded loaf in here is fab!

Enjoy your machine and its produce  ;D

 Recipe for my everyday loaf that I made for my Panasonic. it makes the big loaf.

Just a word. I buy Bradmalt flour from a local mill, it is a sprouted wheat flour, the second flour is also theirs which is a strong white.



7 fluid ounces of water plus 6 ounces of milk OR  13 ounces plus 2 tbsps milk powder.

1 pound Bradmalt flour
4 ounces strong white flour
2 tsps. salt
3 tsps sugar
2 tbls oil ( or melted butter)
1 teaspoon yeast


If you prefer the recipe in cup measures  using a 250 ml cup

2 and 3/4 cups Bradmalt flour
2/3 rd cup strong white flour
same salt, sugar, oil ,yeat as above
1 1/2 cups water with 2 tablespoons dry milk.

I cook it on the 5 hour brown bread cycle. maximum sized loaf, medium crust.

It is very light, and a little sweet.

I make up kits ahead of time , everything in except the fluids.

I never worry about putting this or that in first, just bung all the dries in ,put the wets on top and go.

thanks DP for the tip on that book, might just invest in a copy ;)
and thanks too Jeannine for your loaf recipe, will be giving that a try too ;D

bought some ready-to-go seeded bread mix from the local health food shop and made two loaves over the weekend: both deelishus ;D you can definitely taste the absence of salt, which makes you realise how much is added to supermarket bread :-\

looking forward to experimenting! at least now I have something constructive to do when it rains ;D

Unfortunately in this house rain=housework for me! :'( :'(  Bring back the sunshine!!!
