Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day; recipe at post 30

Beccatje

Oh lordy lordy.. I am in LOVE.....

what a gorgious recipe this is!..SO simple and the bread turned out completely and utterly LUSH!!

My first batch is completely finished!! :eek:
So the report is:

I made two loafs (one bigger, one smaller)
and 12 muffin shapes.

I had chicken fillet and string (green) beans for tea with a lovely thick gravy and served the muffin breads to go with it.

3 kids (aged 12, 10 and 4) and husband first went: "hmmmm??"
10 minutes later the question came: "is there any more of that bread???"
they polished off all the muffinbreads!! :rotfl:
They came out beautiful!

Had a little trouble getting them out of the tin because mine is quite scratched but if you have a good nonstick one or a sillicone one you'll have no trouble. Lovely individual pieces of bread.

So they polished off the bigger loaf as well.... mopping up the gravy with the bread.
So there's only the little loaf left now and I'm gonna donate that to my friend just to show off.

I did turn down the oven a little bit. Saw with the first bake that the crust was a bit too hard and the inside not quite dry so turned the temp down to just over 200 celcius. That works much better for me.

Can't wait to get the book now and try all the other recipe's... would love to make a sweet bread..

my bread never has yet stuck to the loaf tin

So far so good, it is rising nicely, looking quite wet though, nearly 2 hours rising now. Do you knock it down or wait until it collapses all by itself before sticking it in the fridge?

Can't wait to make a loaf

I would love to try making this, but I can't see to find the basic recipe on the site previously mentioned, could someone PM the basic recipe?

I would be really grateful

I love the sound of you mini muffin breads, would go lovely with a nice soup!
The sweet breads are so tasty! the brioche baked as a loaf sliced with home made lemoncurd! (lemoncurd is on my todo list, I will made it one day, now I have the recipe in the book!)

I just leave mine out until I remeber it should go in the fridge! ll, im not a very organised baker. you do not need to touch the bread after it has been mixed unil you want to use it, I would say leave for 2 hours minimum, then you will be fine to pop in the fridge.
Dough that has been chilled is alot easier, ie less sticky to work with and holds its shape abit more IMHO.

Good luck with your frist loaf.
I popped a 1/3 wholemeal 2/3 plain (light wholemeal) in the oven this morning leaving to cool whilst I was at work, i have managed to eat half the loaf since coming home!:o

BE WARNED THIS BREAD IS DELICIOUS!:D

Yeah they would go brilliant with soup!

mumoftwo no knocking it down. Handle it as little as possible I'd say.

I just left it for approx. two hours then just went and baked.. but that's my impatient nature. Off to the neighbours now to show off. hahahaha


update:
Neighbour thinks I'm an extremely clever cook now. Loved the bread! Think's it's LUSH! (well it is!)
got new batch rising now. This stuff will never last 4 days in my house!!
