I actually really want to make a 'soreen' loaf. But I've not found a recipe for it, in my mind it will be quite tricky. So if anyone has ideas or suggestions I'd like that.
Don’t know about ‘soreen’ But how about Ha*ry B*kers Lincolnshire Plum Bread? Takes an age to make but both my DH & I love it - with a bit of butter & some hard cheese.

I commend you on your tenacity. Bread has never worked out for me either, but luckily YS at the supermarket haveKeepOnKnitting wrote: »I am feeling super proud of myself, as I think I have finally cracked bread. I have been trying to bake bread since high school, so almost two decades now. It has always, even with a breadmaker, turned out more like a brick than a loaf. My ex used to have to load the breadmaker, as if I did it we got rubbish bread. I kid you not.
Today I have a loaf in the over that has actually risen properly. I made one the other day that also rose. I am over the moon. A whole world of home-made bread is now open to me!

I made some chocolate chip shortbread biscuits. I only had baking margarine in the fridge and whilst edible, it's not as good as real butter.
I also made 8 bread rolls. They were really good.
I bought some toasted coconut from the grape tree it's in big shavings, I need to find a recipe that I can use this in. If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful.
I had this too and found it was not being used much so I blitzed it down a bit and added it to various versions of flapjack, tasted good.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -

It's just out of the oven and smells divine!
I love ginger cakes.Have you ever tried Fochaber's gingerbread?It's my favourite.It has a mixture of beer,ground almonds and dried fruit that add so much to the flavour.VfM4meplse wrote: »So yummy! How on earth do resist eating it all in one go?

It's gonna be hard to resist eating just one slice I reckon.
I'm not making a Christmas cake this year as I'll be away.Well, I suppose I could make one anyway....0 -
