    Quick question if I may for the Apple Braid recipe, how long can I leave the dough to rise with filling in?? I know it says 30 minutes but I am going to have to go to work, can I put it somewhere until this evening??

    wow everyone seems so busy.

    i've realyl let things slip lately. i only seem to be able to get through the bare basics in the day. i am so bogged down with so much i can't seem to do anything. yet when i do get some baking done , i feel amazing.

    i made some bakewells other day. hubby iced them for me. bless him, the icing to thin it looks like they have a layer of shiney dust on them. however still taste great tho.

    i got 6 weeks 5 days till baby due. so i want to get freezer in order and all organised with some tasty meals in there , so hubby and kids can eat well with little effort.

    Now i need some help please.

    I've seen in morrisons garlic and cheese dough balls. ( in the fresh pizza section) now they not very expensive £1.20 per pack. but i can't help thinking i can easily make my own and for much cheaper and also knowing excatly what in them.but i don't have a clue how to make them, does anyone have any idea's.

    I was gonna buy a pack to cook then go from there making the recipe up myself. but i thought it must be simple enough to try to make myself without buying a pack first.

    All ideas welcomed.

    Hope everyone is all ok. Hugs to those who need them at the mo.

    Stick it in the fridge and it will continue to rise but at a much slower rate so wont over-rise before you get home from work

    JCR16 glad that you and the bump are coming along nicely.As for the dough balls.I've made these and I just made up normal bread dough.Divided into walnut sized balls and then I melted some butter and gently sauteed some crushed garlic and herbs in it.When the doughballs are risen and ready to go into the oven.Drizzle the garlic/herb butter over the top and bake until lovely and golden and eat straight away as they really dont keep

    That's what I would do too if I couldn't be around. A slow rise makes a much better dough too.

    If I was going to freeze them with solid garlic and herb butter pats on top IYKWIM.Then you could plonk it straight in the oven from the freezer and cook on a lower heat for slightly longer and the butter will melt and not burn

    As always some lovely ideas, i like the garlic dough balls one and will try that one soon.cake for christening smells great and i have made a template from one of the books on flower fairies,with the letter E for her name although, i am not to sure that it may look OTT.
    glad to hear everyone is ok and little bumps coming along nicely-bobx

    Thanks for that BOB:A

    I was having a down day yesterday about it all...I just get sick of having to fill forms in all the time....DS is on High Rate DLA at the moment and has been since he was diagnosed at 2......it is up for review though in the summer when he is 5 so have it all to fill in again....i find some of the questions difficult to answer, ie, activities of daily living....how many times a day does your child need help with this?...erm 24 hours a day!!......and how many minutes does each bit of help last?...eh?.....it is constant!!!
    I still have some to do today but then it will hopefully be done...i have a fab 60 page indepth guide to filling it in from Cerebra....if anyone else has them to fill in it is worth a look!:D

    I am doing some baking today as well as the form....have a loaf in the BM and a marmalade loaf in oven at the mo....still have buns to do and some of DS beloved gingerbread men.

    Doing some HM garlic bread later and Hm canneloni.

    Its amazing how many people on here have disabled children....I always felt so alone in it so its nice to hear from others with the same problems and same aspirations for their lovely kids:T
    It gets us all at times- thanks for the tip on the book as well. It is a bit overbearing that you have to sort out the minutae of the forms and split the day like that but i suppose it helps a stranger get an overall impression. keep going it gets easier.Bobxx
