I decided to bake a loaf today, as far as results and bread makers go I suppose novices such as me may quickly be put of, Thanks to THE WIZARD heres a simple loaf.
Hello Craig I have "Mucked about" with all sorts of flours and bread mixes for a long time .As good as any I find is
600g of Lidl's Strong White Bread Flour
11/2 Teaspoons Sugar
11/2 " Salt
2 Tablespoons dried milk powder.
25 g Butter in small cubes scattered on the flour
1 sachet Hovis or 7g Allisons dried quick yeast (NOT THE SORT YOU HAVE TO SET OFF WITH SUGAR AND WATER)
400 mils hand warm water
Place 1/2 the flour in the pan add the butter salt and milk powder Then cover these with the rest of the flour sprinkle the yeast and sugar on the top and cover with the water.Select (In my Panasonic) Crust Medium Time 4hrs Large Loaf If you fancy a change of flavour add a big handfull of donkey food ( porridge oats ) Won't win the WI bread Loaf but jolly good long lasting loaf (keeps nice and fresh) Kath likes it made with brown whole meal flour
