I did indeed sprinkle Demerara sugar on top.

I've been making this cake for years but can't remember where the recipe came from.

Is it ok to post a recipe on here when the origin can't be accredited?

Slim, I have no idea - maybe if you do the mods can remove it if it's not allowed ;)

I think it was only the old BBC board that had issues with recipes and copyright.

I have posted recipes here and on wildfood.

Nice loaves Binky :thumbsup .

I really must start baking my bread in tins in the oven rather than being lazy and using the bread machine :oops: .

That's the problem with a breadmaker, only one loaf at a time.

Maybe we're greedy but we go through bread at a rate of knots - toast and marmalade, sandwiches at lunch time, toast with soup, buttered bread and pate, bread and Brie de Meaux, a slice of buttered bread and lemon curd, breadcrumbs in a nut roast recipe, bread and butter pudding......no, one loaf is not enough :D

Wonderful looking bread, Binky.
We´re the same over here. Go through bread at a rate of knots.

Really lovely loaves, Binky.
Are they the sourdough ones? I cannot remember what happened to them.

I have one excellent loaf tin, that never sticks, and produces super shaped (long and tall) loaves, or cakes.
Perfect for slicing without tearing.

I don't like using my bread machine to bake the dough in either (such a strange shape :( ), so I just use the dough function and carry on with a final prove in a bread tin .. :thumbsup

No, sourdough already eaten. The four loaves in the pic are 50% strong white flour, and 50% Allinson's Country Grain (we prefer this to granary flour).

Binky, were your loaves cooked in 2lb loaf tins? If so, how much flour do you use for 1 loaf please? This is one of the many things I'm not sure of.

Thanks.


Today I made a batch of sticky cinnamon buns, not at all the sort of thing I usually make.

Just out of the oven

Nice buns!

I was thinking of some Chelsea buns, but if I make a batch, there's only the two of us to eat them. :oops:

There are two sizes of loaf in the pic - two 2lb loaves and two 1lb loaves.

OH uses 3.2 kilos of dough to make those loaves. 66% flour and 34% water. A big loaf weighs 950g of dough, and the little loaf uses 650g of dough.

OH weighs and cuts the dough into appropriate sizes before depositing in the loaf tins for second proving.

I've frozen some (most in fact) would you be interested to know how they are when we eat them?

Is all quark made in Germany? I have tried to buy some but everyone is out of stock.

Could it be Brexit?
