Caster V Granulated sugar in BM?

LizD_2

Just that really. Have used caster sugar with wholemeal flour, it tastes fine, if a bit sweet. Does granulated work better. (It's an MR Fastbake by the way)

MATH

Makes no difference to the taste, both are as sweet as each other. I use granny becasue i always have that in the cupboard

I use granulated and it tastes fine in bread

Any kind of sugar will work in bread. you can use honey or treacle too. Heck, you can even leave it out altogether

Both are fine, I use which ever is to hand!;)

Ooooo, my OH thinks my bread is a bit too sweet, so I have reduced the amount slightly.
I didn't want to leave it out in case it failed.

loren83

so if you leave it out what difference does it make?

Just don't leave out the flour or the yeast

TKP_3

I use either with white flour (whichever is nearest), but use brown sugar with wholmeal flour.

LizD_2

I'll give it a go without then.
I thought it was needed to 'feed' the yeast though?
