:wave: Hiya fellow home ed'er. How old is your son? (sorry slight side track but its all relevant honest ) Cooking was the only thing my DS would do to start with apart from decorating. The novelty had worn off both but I've found kitchen gadgets work well as a motivational tool ..... well that and eating the finished object


Hi lynzpower. Yes the smell is now simply gorgeous but its sat on the side and he says I'm not allowed to touch it until it cools down

(another note to Chipps - I think my confidence building exercises must have gone too far :rotfl: )

Do you think cream with it (the bread that is not DS)? It smells like it wants cream ......... definately a pudding smell. Should I wait until dinner like a good person or try some now ........... I mean I do need to let you all know how it went don't I? Maybe I should taste some purely for research purposes

I think in the interests of science it is your duty to try it. You will be providing a service for all who read this thread...:D

The bread is a success! Even my daughter who once learning that it had herbs in and went yuck is eating it

It's soft and light and very yummy...wondering if I really need another piece :rofl: Oh and it cuts well!

I put in about 570g of strong white flour (recipe said 3 1/2 cups which ended up about that), cup (well mug) of warm milk, 2 tbsp butter (I used stork), 1 tbsp sugar (had vanilla sugar as hubby had put a vanilla pod in my only sugar!), 1.5 tsp salt, 2 tsp fast bake yeast (is that what's it's called?) and about 2 tbsp of mixed herbs.

The recipe said to add an egg and some dried onion but I didn't have any of that so left it out. Then cooked on the 1lb loaf basic setting.

Herb bread sounds nice

Was going to thank TNG for giving me an excuse to eat some chocolate & walnut bread as well but there was no thanks button Maybe its trying to stop me as I've been on a bit of a 'thankathon' since I joined this thread.

As for the choc & walnut. Well the bad news is there is something definately strange about chocolate crusts :rolleyes: Other than that it was quite nice although I think it smelt better than it tasted. It definately wanted cream as it was a bit dry on its own.

Not sure when you would eat it really I was thinking breakfast or supper snack but what would you put on it? Can't have cream for breakfast can I

edited to add its showing I did thank TNG now ......... oh well ..... must have been a glitch

Ooo choc sounds a bit strange!

My next task is cheese and onion bread And I have to make more bread tonight as I've just had two slices and it's sooooooo much more filling than shop brought bread (though I may cut down a bit on the herbs next time) and the children have had two between them...then when hubby gets home he'll have a couple then I'll have two crusts left to make sandwiches for the children tomorrow

Though they think it's great and want more...will be tying it down I think!

Leaving work early to go and buy ingediants - very exciting!

What about when it inevitably goes slighly stale making a bread & butter pudding with it

Or toasting it and spreading with clotted cream?
