Breadmaking - recipes, hints, tips, questions

This is a recipe from real food recipes for your breadmaker by Carol Palmer, this recipe is a favourite in our house. When I first made this I thought there was a lot of oats in it but you don't notice them once the bread is cooked.

350ml/12 fl oz water
30ml/2 tbsp sunflower oil
30ml/2 tbsp malt extract
60ml/4 tbsp milk powder
7.5ml/1.5 tsp salt
300g/11oz strong white bread flour
175g/6oz rolled oats
10ml/2tsp dried yeast

Bake on basic setting. Enjoy.

I'm hopeless at slicing bread. OH got so fed up with having to straighten the loaf up after me that he went on the hunt for some kind of slicing aid. We now have an Evenslice from Lakeland.

We managed to get a used one from Ebay, but to be honest would have paid full price given the mess I was making! You can select differing thicknesses (OH likes doorstop chunks to go with his lemon curd) and the loaves are lasting slightly longer (no chance of home made bread going off in our house )

Are you trying to make me spend money? Don't you know I have no willpower in Lakeland? In fact I'm not supposed to go in one of their shops on my own. I've been looking at one of these for years, literally years, but resisted because I wasn't 100% convinced that it would be as good as they say. In our house, I'm the only person who can cut a slice of bread that is less than a third of a loaf thick. At one end.

Now you have to tell me that they are worth having AND you tell me this the day before I go on a course somewhere where I have to walk past a Lakeland store :eek:, well, three streets away but I will be drawn by some sort of magnetic field that I don't really understand. There is a possibility that I'll finish too late to shop but if I do buy one it's YOUR fault!:D

thank you :T

I'll try this recipe tomorrow, as I recently got hold of a large jar of malt extract, having seen it referred to somewhere on this board, but I've also made loaves with oats in before and they were yummy :j

I know the feeling

. Though OH is just as bad ... recently we called in for some 60p orange peelers and spent £35 on a whole range of goodies, and it wasn't me doing the spending.

All I say in mitigation is that you'll be able to get more slices from your loaves and therefore save money (well that's how I justify it anyway

)

The thing about Lakeland is that they test everything before they will sell them ... so they've got to be good haven't they

Yesterday made "Fingers X'd" bread

I had some onion "crispies" in the cupboard (ds wanted them for salads and they were reduced, but not really *that* nice) sooooo ....

... using my basic bread machine bread recipe I threw in the dried onion crispies and tossed in a small hand of dried rosemary - sat back and waited to see what happened ....

... GORGEOUS! Couldn't see/taste the onion crispies as such but oh my! what a blend!

Today I have in the machine: Pesto and Pine Nut loaf. (Didn't have a "jar" of pesto, only the tube - again bought off the reduced counter, plus some pine nuts which I bought last week from the reduced counter) .... I'm hoping I haven't put too much of the paste in

... time will tell.
This afternoon though, I'm back to making squeaky's cinnamon and raisin loaf - I want to freeze that though for when picnic weather returns

I must make a malt loaf, I've never tried. I bought the malt extract, but have used half a jar already stirring it into hot milk for a horlix-type drink without all the additives and junk! Yummy!!!!!!!!!!

I will try the onion bits and rosemary bread today! I can practically smell it already from your description!!!!

We have a new Lakeland not too far from where I live - big temptation to go in there every week after the Sainsbury's experience. Trouble is, my kitchen is fast becomming a Lakeland Showroom :eek: . Maybe I should be on commission or something 'cos I'm always singing their praises.

Just toasted some of the leftovers for some cheese on toast - OMG - if you make that loaf and enjoy cheese ... it's really, truly scrummy!

Have made the onion & rosemary bread now - fab smell. Tomorrow's lunch will be cheese on toast - can't wait.
