What have you baked today?

A great tasting apple tart made with bramley apples and plain white flour

Ordinary white loaves. A disaster, the second this week, in baking my bread. I'd switched from Sainsbury's strong white flour to Tesco strong white flour and all my loaves seem to collapse. Here's the recipe.

8 fluid oz water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
400 grams Tesco's strong white flour.
I aim for 4 grams of instant dry yeast l

I use my bread machine to do the mixing and bake in the oven.

Just baked two lots of flapjack and tried a new recipe for some choc chip cookies. Feel a bit sicky now though as I could not resist trying each lot.:o

Don't know if it's baking but i've just made chocolate rice Krispy cakes, quick and easy and surprisingly low calorie

Encouraged by all the Old Stylers here I have decided to take up some baking

Here are the results:

I learned several things in my first attempt:

1) I need to get an electronic weigher as I got the quantities slightly wrong, hence they are very sweet but a little depressed :rotfl:

2) Icing covers everything including depressions :cool:

3) Never take a hand whisk out of the bowl whilst still on, it will go everywhere including the ceiling! :eek:

4) Practice will make perfect! :T

Now to go feed them to my lovely BF :j:j:j

Thanks guys :D:D
