OK
Another question!

OH is wondering if we can make "tiger bread" which for those not in the know is a tescos bakery bread - crusty, but with a crackledy glazed effect on the top

I also get the sense form the doughiness of it that It might have an egg in it, but really not sure ( they didnt do tiger bread when I worked in tescos bakery before anyone asks )

Im sure I can do the dough as you did Pink - but for the glaze

I used an egg in the last lot of bread I did and :lipsrseal Horrible I thought! Tasted eggy and I'm not really a fan of things like eggy bread and egg fried rice so I found it blergh!

However it has cut down my bread eatting :rotfl:

Oh and I use Hovis fast bake sachets which I've never had a problem with!

Don't know if I'm thinking of the same Tesco loaf (didn't know it was called Tiger bread), but I googled and found this.....

No eggs involved!!!

Would love to hear about it if you try it in the BM!!!

I have put my BM on for the first time in 3 years it is a MR FB though so can I join in?

I could not remember how much yeast to use so just put in the amount in that the recipe suggests but it is not a full sachet. Does anyone have a tip for keeping the little bit of yeast fresh til the next use?

Hello & Welcome! My FB is n older (white one) but the newer one seems to be the same, only in stainless steel and with a paddle that lies down after kneading... but all the functions are basically the same as far as I can see.


I fold the yeast sachet over a couple of times and use an ordinary plastic clothes peg to secure it... at least I did til I used up the sachets and bought a tin of traditional yeast by mistake!!!! :rotfl:

well yes, similar The tesco one is obviously not quite as "rocky" as that one. But that one looks gorgous!!!

I've had my Fast Bake for 18 months. I've had good times and bad times with it.

I use it just about every day sometimes twice a day.

I learnt early on that my brown bread was coming out stodgy and not nice. I tried changing to 50% white bread but it still came out stodgy.
I then read some where that if this was happening then there is too much water - despite following th MR to the letter.

I now on a 2lb loaf add 1 1/4 cup of water rather than the stated 1 1/2 cups. It works a treat.
I add fresh milk and it tastes no different to powdered milk. I have used allsorts of oil including olive.

The downside though. After using my BM for around 6 months it started to unlock itself when reversing the paddle to lie down. Also the paint on the paddle was coming off in lumps.

I email MR and told them They sent me a new paddle and told me that the unlocking wasn't a problem. Except it was because it made one heck of a noise when it unlocked.
Anyway, after having this problem for another 5 months the pan bit broke completly and couldn't turn the paddle. I was devastated. I couldn't go back to shop bread.:eek:

I emailed MR again and told them of the problem and they sent me a new pan free of charge. I can't fault their customer service!:j

Now my Dad has had a fastbake BM for 6 months. He now can't get the pan out of the maker. It's completly stuck. He hasn't been in touch with MR yet as he has many other ongoing problems but hopefully when he does they will be just as good with him as they were with me.
