My bread is stuck...I can get a knife down the sides and free it off there but it's stuck to the bottom.
I think I'm going to have to hack it out and try again...bread was always going to be the tricky bit.
oh dear! what kind of tins are you using? I've never had bread stick but had many other baked goods do my head in before.
I usually use mis-risen, mis-shapen bread for eating with soups & similar as then you don't care what shape it is or how crumbly it is .
awww frankie, I was sorry to read you're feeling tired with all that cooking, you've achieved loads:A, but it sounds like you've paid the price! If I lived nearer I'd pop over with a foot spa and some of my choccie egg Hope my tins weren't the culprit. We got fed up of greasing them and bought silicone ones.:o
Thanks for doing all of this for me, Bob and Shirl
It's good that you've said about your discouragements as well as your triumphs because if this is ever going to work we have to be realistic. Shirley's with 4 children will need an easier batch cooking day for example, with plenty of time to master bread baking if it's a new thing.

weezl It's no problem. I hope you enjoyed your nap. I'm thinking of having one myself!!
The tins are great. I'm pretty sure it was just that I hadn't greased them. So completely my own fault.
I'll let you know after the next batch. I found the 'no knead' recipe really easy, though, so hopefully they'll taste good and I can stick with doing them that way.
Just wanted to pop in and say good luck to you all, I will be following with interest and nicking a few recipe ideas
I have just put on my free breadmaker today and the kind lady gave me a couple of packs of ready mix wholemeal, only I went and made the hurried mistake of putting the bread on the basic setting and not wholemeal. What effect will that have please?
My first attempt at making bread and I mess up straight away

Ok guys I'm just about to pay for my asda order but realised they have kitchen stuff on here. Anything that springs to mind that you have used lots for these recipes? If they have them, I'll buy it to make life easier.

would like to win a holiday, please!!
I didn't grease the tins. Once I've washed up and had a cuppa I'll do another lot and see if greasing the tins makes a difference.
I feel a bit less stressed now
