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

jorichste

well the bread is done and eaten!! I think I need to cook it for a little longer next time as it was a little doughy in the middle , but everyone loved it so thanks again!!

This looks great. Want to give it a try - looked on 'zoe' website but can't seem to find the basic recipe/method. Am I blind??? Please help!!

To be honest, I am finding the Artisan bread thing a bit hit and miss. I mixed up some last night, left to prove or whatever for two hours and then had a go at my previously fab cheese topped baps. These did not rise atall. The dough does not appear to have risen one bit in the container.

I am currently using ordinary yeast which they said was ok in the video? Now I am left wondering yet again, was it the flour, the yeast or my efforts. My previous lot with the same ingredients came out lovely.

For some reason my loaf was a disaster in my Panasonic too!!! Tried making the milk loaf and that came out half size. Bit disheartened with breadmaking all round at the moment.:(

after reading this thread for a couple of days, I've finally got round to doing it. Just finished mixing up my first batch - looks a bit dry though. Will update on progress. Wish me luck!!!

Well I tried the original recipe then tried Greenman's (post 311) and it worked even better than ever!

However it is a smaller quantity than the original, so I was wondering if you could just double it?

I was really looking forward to trying this and when out today bought some sea salt but now I've discovered that I only have Sainsbury's plain flour - not strong plain flour. Is it worth trying it with normal plain flour or will it be a waste of time? Really annoyed because I was *sure* I had some strong flour!

I have used both & frankly I found it better with ordinary plain flour than the strong bread type! HTH:D

I'm still having trouble perfecting this!! my ds loves it as it is and always asks me to make more, but I find it a doughy in the middle and a really hard crust. As i'm writing this I'm thinking maybe I should turn the oven down a bit!! will try unless ayntbody has other suggestions.

^^^Sounds like the oven is too hot. I cook mine on 200c for about 10 mins and it comes out fully cooked .

thanks, will try again later!!
