Welcome, Lainie, from another Melbourne member. Glad you're gaining experience and confidence, it's a great machine and really helps you with cooking good and healthful meals.

Oh you poor things. The TMX will certainly make it easier for you to prepare your meals in temporary accommodation if necessary. I am originally from just out of Wellington so have been watching all the earthquakes over there with great sadness. Chch is such a beautiful city I just hope that everything will stop shaking now and that all the various stresses have worked themselves out.
Take care.

Although I have never made a sprouted grain loaf, would the bread you are looking for be somewhat similar? It may be easier to find a sprouted grain loaf recipe than the rice one you are looking for.

Thanks for all that info. I have one question as a follow on - and I think I know the answer, but I'll ask it anyway. Does the amount of kneading you give the dough detract from the finished loaf, i.e. if you over-knead does it make the loaf worse - or better?

Eloquy, because I'm not an instinctive cook, when I got my machine I stuck solely to recipes in the books, and latterly to the forum. I found that I got hooked on risottos pretty quickly so, when I reaslised what I was doing, I made one promise to myself - that I would try at least one new dish each week That's the easy part - the hard part, I quickly realised, was deciding just what that new meal / dish would be (due to our personal situation, I am only able to cook on a Sunday, so I have a slightly different time frame to just about everyone else on this forum).
Anyway, now I am into the routine and spend Friday nights planning my market shopping on Saturday so that I am ready to get to work to cook our week's food on Sunday - usually with several new recipes to tackle each week - it's such fun!

Welcome and glad you're loving your TMX. The bread is great, isn't it?
For many of us, this is / was our first forum so our love of the TMX also eases us into learning other skills that, perhaps, we would not have used previously, such joining a forum and, perhaps, starting up a blog / facebook page, etc. It really is a whole new experience.

Welcome - you'll have a great time with the TMX and, before you know it, you'll be a trend setter and have loads of people following your lead.
Where do you live in NZ?

Dede, if it's not too late, have another read of Andisenji's post and perhaps you could try one of the alternatives she mentions. It may be easier to do that than grill the people at the shop as they very possibly don't know (or, quite simply, don't even realise) what is in the bread improvers.

I haven't had trouble posting replies but just over the past day or two have had trouble getting into the forum, it's very intermittent, though (I use Firefox).

JulieO, that looks so appetising I almost wish I ate meat just to try it!!

On thinking about this further, I wonder if the bread improver is why I hate the smell in the bread aisle at the supermarket?

Well, that's a bit of an eye opener!!! I had never really given bread improvers a great deal of thought, but now I am definitely going to have to change my ideas. I have used vitamin C powder as a bread improver but had also tossed up buying a bread improver, I will have to make sure that I go to ABB for that and not just buy something "off the shelf" at the supermarket.

CP63 - just read your post about losing your list of recipes. I know you have now posted the (more or less) completed list, but I certainly feel the agonised frustration of losing all the hard work, it really makes you want to spit nails doesn't it.

I'm the same, Twitterpated, only TMX (or TMX related) books are purchased here now - but it is so very hard to resist all those glorious coloured temptations every time I go into a book shop!!

Well done, what an amazing list - this is going to cause all sorts of trouble in our house now as I am going to want to try lots of these recipes and my poor recipe folders are bulging at the seams already - look as if I'll just have to compromise and buy another folder just for you called CP63!
