Hi

I watched James Martin's programme the other day and he made pizza with Semolina flour so my question is semolina flour just semolina you use for making puddings? l could only find this when l went shopping tonight and bought it but now l am not sure this is right.

l don't want a sweet pizza :eek:

Thank you.

The issue with semolina is making sure it cooks though properly. If it doesn't the texture of your pizza base will choke you. Makes a nice crust though.

PD - you are so talented

I have,t exactly baked, but made some fudge for friends 50th - edible gold glitter fudgazzle..

Agreed with fudge being a skill, it's not one I've mastered! Looks lovely

I'm in the US at the moment and have been teaching my friend how to make a basic loaf from scratch and some meringue kisses. I forgot how sweet American bread is :eek:

PD, how lovely you are taking the time to post whilst you are on the other side of the world!

I do not advise looking at the ingredients list on their bread (or anything else you can buy in the shops over there). Shocking what US citizens have to eat ....so brilliant you are teaching your friend :T

They go to bed early, so was catching up :rotfl: Am back now though My friend asked as her and her husband want to reduced their sugar intake so I jokingly suggested they stop eating bread.

So today I made some cookies, now I'm fully stocked up with peanut butter chips

PURPLEDONKEY mmm peanut butter chips those cookies look amazing!

Made a Chocolate Banana Loaf today, halfway through cooking time i realised i had forgot to put the eggs in, was right fed up thinking what a waste of time and money but decided to let it cook for the remaining time and it came out just as good as yesterdays one????

I love it when that happens :rotfl: Bananas are good substitutes for eggs, particularly in vegan baking, as are apples come to think of it. How do you eat your banana bread? I like to toast mine and cover it in peanut butter

PURPLEDONKEY omg that sounds delicious! Oh that is interesting to know about bananas and apples, thankyou! We had it warmed up with Salted Caramel Clotted Cream Ice Cream (bang goes the diet again today )

I've made a load of hot cross bun dough and left it in the fridge overnight to prove slowly. Last time I made it this way it was so good, much tastier than it normally is when I prove it for a shorter time.

I plan on leaving it in there until tomorrow lunchtime then shape and prove again before baking them.

They are my sons favourite and he's been poorly all week along with his wife and children so a hot cross bun or two might just perk him up.

Oh and I got the bread flour for 49p (short date - March 2016) and everything else was in the cupboards so not too dear either!
