Better baking guide, Free with Sat Guardian

morebread

Newbie here,
The Guardian are giving away a free baking guide this Saturday 24th November, I got an email from a friend on the danlepard.com wbesite . You have to buy the paper (which I don't, but will do this week) but it sounds really good, and not some book preview thing but new stuff.

Have been baking bread by hand at home for a month now, freezing 3 loaves at a time once a week which seems to suit the family. Don't know if we're saving much but it tastes better!!!

Susan,
thx for a great website!!!

I don't eat that much, but I love baking. I've been taking a loaf of bread to friends as a gift, read somehwre it was meant to be a blessing on the house. Cakes, muffins, they all seem to say thank-you as much as a bottle of wine or flowers.

I was wondering if it was going to worth getting a paper....having skimmed through the on-line bit, think I will try and get one.

Thanks adsk.

The supplement looks really good, but I get the Saturday Guardian anyway. Looking forward to making cider vimegar muffins and moist chocolate cake.

Anyone going to build a bread oven in the garden?????

Will I be able to afford to build a bread oven in the garden ( or buy ingredients) after I've spent in excess of £800 buying the electrical tools suggested in the online version:eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

However neat and tidy you usually are, cooking can get messy, and baking - with all the sieving and kneading and rolling - can get very messy indeed. But there's no excuse for not looking stylish as well as safe.

The butterscotch banana cake is in the oven as I type.

However, what made me laugh - have you all checked that your wooden spoons are from a sustainable source? Mine are all so old I don't think sustainable was a concept when they were made! - and then there is no mention of using fairtrade sugar - although everything else is designed to make you guilt ridden.

I agree about trying the cider vinegar muffins though, PenPen - and I might try some tapioca flour in a choccy cake

Update:

The children have pronounced the banana butterscotch cake "awesome" - it can't get better in their terminology! Banana cake isn't popular round here but this is a winner.

It is very light - but use a bigger tin than suggested - we had samples from the foil on the oven floor before the cake was cooked!!!!
