I don't think you need to line the tin, just a bit of a grease round.

alls fine except I lined the tin with greaseproof paper and when the bread came out it stuck to the paper so on peeling away so did the bread!

I've been making bread by hand for a long time, and i've never lined the tin with greaseproof paper. All i've ever done is wiped it round with either butter or marg (i use stork's cake marg as its soft from the fridge) and then popped the dough into that to rise. Occasionally it sticks but i use a metal spatula to gently seperate the bread from the tin, the worst that has ever happened is that a bit has stuck and ripped off - i've made sure to use that particular loaf before the other one (as i bake 2 at once).

Thanks, Think I will have to get some new tins then, slight bit of rust in them which is why I lined them.

before you do that.. try making one batch of bread.. my own tins were inherited from my grandfather and are in a similar condition, dark, sometimes rusty metal.. i do give them a scrub before i use them if the rust looks particularly bad, dry, then swipe with the margarine. I haven't yet had any problems, and frankly, even if you do have problems, you can just cut the affected part off - and even if you have to throw away a whole loaf, its still cheaper than if you don't need new tins.

i think its worth a try!

I have a few tins with rust too and like Kethry, I give them a bit of a wipe and then grease before use...

right... I have hot cross bun dough in the machine (without the rasins for dh) and a batch of yoghurt in the flask. I bought a small pot to start and have frozen 2 2tblsp batches of yoghurt so I now have 2 starters for the next times I forget to save my 2 tblsp starter (!) Not bad really is it - 1 42p tub makes 3 Litres of yoghurt plus what ever other yoghurt you make from those 3 litres *if you remember to save your starter* :laugh: edited to add - if you make 3 litres and then make another 2 litres from each of those litres (at a minimum, you can make more) then that yoghurt pot will have "made" 9 litres and have cost only 0.046p per litre! Therefore your yoghurt will just be the cost of the milk you use!

how is everyone doing?

Loaf tins ... I spray with spray oil and dust with flour ... never have a loaf stick then

My loaf tins suffer from a little rust but like the others just a wipe and a grease and no probs.I dont understand though how so many people have probs with BM bread as mine has always been fine.But I do find myself using mine more for dough making these days but thats because I want to make different things with the dough rather than because the finished bread is heavy

Yategirl I think you lost me around the time of the third litre from the 3rd starter:rotfl:

oh ok... 3 starters cost a total of 42p... each starter makes 1 litre of yoghurt, that yoghurt makes a 2nd litre and the 2nd litre makes a 3rd litre.. so each starter effectively makes 3 litres yeah? 3 starters x 3 litres per starter = 9 litres. Therefore if a litre of milk costs 44p then 9*0.44= 3.96 + .42 = 4.38 which means (assuming you don't add dried milk) each litre of yoghurt costs 0.486p. The cheapest yoghurt is tesco value at 35p/500g so 1 litre would cost 70p therefore saving.... *21.4p*per litre :j



breadmakers - I find mine is better for dough than for baking which is fine tbh.. but I have been experimenting with making dough by hand and that has proved to be even better!

I'm going to try yoghurt making again, used to make loads when I had a rayburn and 4 hungry teenagers; they all loved it and there was always a pot of yoghurt-in-the-making sitting on the outlet pipe at the back of the rayburn :j

I'll try a vacuum flask this time. Any tips please?
