Breadmaker recipes!

We saw the large sacks, good price on them, but have meantime kept to the smaller bags so we can try out several different flours to taste the differences.  We will share the order with our daughter, so have ordered enough to get the free delivery.

It does work out more expensive than buying in the shops, but the variety available is excellent, and some flours are difficult, or impossible, to source locally.

Also saves spending so much time in a shop, and getting all that weight home!

I’ve just checked back, and in 2008 the white bread flour was the same price as today’s delivery. It arrives well packed, and the friendliest delivery man of the many that come here.

And a royal warrant for HRH Charles - so if it’s good enough for his kitchen, it’s good enough for mine!

Our flour order arrived last night, at DD's house, as we are sharing it with her.  Today we unpacked it and left 7 bags with her to try,

We have some white spelt.......brue...how did yours turn out?  The picture looked good, can you post the recipe?

I use the local Sharpham Park organic wholegrain spelt flour but I mix it with strong white to get a lighter loaf, usually a 1/3 spelt to 2/3 strong white. The loaves have a nice golden colour and texture. The loaf in the photo was made with my old Prima I'm getting similar results with the Panasonic. The 50/50 wholemeal recipe seems to be the equivalent and I adjust the quantities. I tried a fast bake and that was ok too.

Just about to bake another...maybe I'll compare photos!

That's not a third I hear you say...it's a quarter... 

So a quarter?   OK, will try it soon!   Thanks.

It's lockdown 2.0 so back to the breadmaking and just taken the latest carrot & fennel seed effort out of the machine. Smells amazing! 

The Panasonic results. 

Mmmm , looks good brue!

We always make all our own bread, other than speciality ones, so looking forward to trying all sorts of different recipes.

And even making some we have not  done before.

Maybe we can do some of the speciality breads too, rather than buying them.

My sister, from Norway, always makes her own bread, she is diabetic, but she likes my wholemeal bread when she is here.  The rougher the better as far as she is concerned.

Do you make all your own bread M  ?
