It did look easy didn't it:D
I think I will try it:cool:

I can't get my head around the whole "prove" & "knock back" bit. But I will give it a go sometime.:p

What is it that gets you?

It literally is leave it until it's double the size, then punch it back down - easy once you get the hang of it

caught up tonight - this was simply the bestest ever greatness awesome brilliant super fandabbydozy :T

Made the bread - ohhh ummmm mmmmmm!
Mrs E - it used to really complicate me too

Mix , knead then prove - its growing in size and proving the yeast works (thanks thriftlady)

Then once doubled - it means its full of air. So punch it - or knocking it back , takes the air out giving a loaf that isnt full of air bubbles . Shape, then second prove.

When you prove it a second time, its shorter and letting the air go through i think and giving the bread an airy texture

Actually Jamie explains it far better than I can here . Mandatory to be read in Jamie voice.

Of course he isn't called mummy- what a crass thing to say!:rolleyes:

Presumably they are both called 'daddy' how can that be confusing when there are 2 of them? If one father refers to 'daddy' he must mean the other one. Or maybe one is called dad/pa/papa/father/da.

'Gayby'?? Is that an actual expression? It sounds offensive to me. What's wrong with 'daughter'? Why on earth should she be confused?

That irked me too. Well said . Silly.

What if she refers to "daddy", which one is she referring to?

I have also heard many parents refer to themselves the same way, they say things like "mummy doesn't want you to do that" referring to themselves.

One "daddy" says "Daddy doesn't want you to do that" and she thinks "Well one daddy doesn't want me to do it, but there's no mention of the other, so I guess I can do it in front of one daddy but not the other. Now, if I can just work out which daddy he was meaning I'll be fine".

Sounds confusing to me!

I'm sure two intelligent people have worked out a way of referring to themselves so that everyone in the family is clear who is who.

It is you who is making it confusing:rolleyes:

I wondered that too,surely not mummy especially as the "daddy" was the one at home anyway!poor confused "gayby"

"gayby"? Oh, come on

Anyway, if you see that as an issue, what on earth do you do when your children work out they have two sets of grandparents? Must, like, destroy the relationship and melt their fragile little minds.....

My children at that age didn't differentiate between myself and my husband sometimes I was called Daddy and sometimes he was called Mummy. Probably our fault as if the person being talked to or called was busy the other would answer!

However good point about grandparents, some are both called the same thing. Although I didn't and my children only have one Grandparent, so not an issue here.

My only concern is that she seemed very indulged and I can't stand spoilt children, however there is no way of really telling from 30 minutes of edit! I did feel that the headteacher dad dealt with her not liking the spanish chicken pilaf very well, but the other dad didn't deal with the broccoli issue as well!

I was shocked when the headteacher said I didn't know there was any meat left on the chicken can you eat the brown! he is educated and frankly should be ashamed.

I like the format, it reminds me of the ministry of food by Jamie.

You're right it's very much like his books, too many coloured pages with white writing and pictures of the chefs. Uggh!! That's most probably why I wasn't overly keen on it. Maybe it was intentional, but the book itself regardless of the recipe content,just has a feel of low budget to me.

Tell me about it - it's proving a nightmare (for me) to read those

Guess I'm another who, if looking through it in a shop rather than ordering 'blind' on-line, almost certainly wouldn't have bought it - and purely for that reason !!
