It's a crappy day here today with torrential rain so it doesn't look like golf is on the agenda.
I've been lazing around reading and listening to music but thought I'd better make a loaf of bread.
I have two breadmakers.
The Breville Bakers Oven is the original I bought some years ago and that got me enthused in bread making.
This model bakes 1KG and 750gm loaves. I usually use it for the 750gm setting .
The other oven I have is the Sunbeam Bakehouse 4500 which bakes 500gm loaves. I use this when I don't want a larger loaf, or for fruit loaves as it has a neat fruit and nut dispenser fitted.
I should have started the bake earlier as it takes about 3 hours and would have been nice to have a fresh bread sandwich with a couple of slices of the meatloaf left over from last night's dinner. Never mind, I'll have a slice or two with dinner.
I have six different bread mixes (from Binn Inn) and a lot of different flours from which I knock up my own blend. To be honest though, the Binn Inn mixes are better.
I like sourdough bread but you can't get a pre-mix for this as you have to start from scratch using a fermented dough mix. It takes a lot longer which is why I've never bothered.
Maybe I'll give it a go some day.

ReplyDeleteThe soya flour adds to the softness resulting in a texture of soft white bread but with the whole wheat and grain character provided by the Country Grain mix. Think Molenburg ...... oh, Richard has nodded off. It happens to old people.
