Thanks for the help ... Maybe I should give up the idea of sourdough for the time being .... I'm a bit coincerned that I over complicate things for myself .... I'm loving making bread and I'm going to start with yoghurt and the progress to cheese etc in hopefully the next 6mths ... So don't want to over strtetch myself with sourdough just yet
Thanks for the advice much appreciated0 -
Can anyone recommend a toaster in which large and xlarge bread slices would fit?
Thanks0 -
I use a standard toaster and just turn the slices around.0

After failing to get my hands on Argos's half-price Cookworks food slicer (which wasn't available in any stores near me, my work, my family, etc etc), my mother offered me her old Oster electric food slicer.
It was greasy from slicing meat, so I put it in the dishwasher (plastic bag around the plug) and crossed my fingers.
It's working fine - the motor survived (I waited a few days for everything to dry out), and I'm getting lovely straight slices. The loaf goes a lot further now I'm not cutting doorsteps or eating large heels. So now I can use half an XL loaf straight away and freeze the other half.0 -

Reading on the BBC today about too much salt in shop-made bread, could some kind soul who has digital scales please weigh out a Panasonic scoop of salt and tell me what it weighs please? We don't ever use a full scoop, but it would be interesting to know how much that amount weighs.

One teaspoon of coarse sea salt which is what I use weighs 5 grams. Free running salt would be a bit less, I guess. But you have to use that amount otherwise the bread won't rise properly.0

A full Panny tsp of table salt weighs 5g on my digital scale-hope it helps you compare.:heartsmil 'A woman is like a teabag: You never know her strength until you drop her in hot water'. (Eleanor Roosevelt)0

Crumbs! I wouldn't have thought it weighed that much - just goes to show you! We only put half of one in a 400g of flour loaf and it seems to work OK.Make £2025 in 2025
