Hi ladies, Boy, am I asking a LOT of questions!!!  I really do appreciate everyone's help  I made another batch of these rolls yesterday and was so impressed with them - much better than the first attempt however they were a little undercooked in the middle. They were nice and brown on top (sorry, can't remember how long they were in for.......... definitely a much shorter time than suggested in this recipe as last time I burnt them after 15 mins) so that is when I took them out. I noticed that the bottom of the rolls weren't as brown so could it be the egg wash that I used??? I'm thinking if I just used water than I could have left them in a little longer? Perhaps I need to get a thermometer.

Thanks ladies, I will certainly give yours a go Judy. I'll buy some mild cheese too - I used tasty although my girls are used to this. Twiterpated, They're like a twisted cheese stick that you buy however I also made some into normal cracker shapes.

Hi all, I've just made the cheesy straw recipe from the vegetarian TMX cookbook my kids who are HUGE cracker/breadstick eaters don't like them.  I'm thinking that the cheese flavour is a little overwhelming for them - any ideas how I can convert the recipe so that there isn't as much cheese in them?  ? Can I replace the cheese with something else? ? I'm really happy that I have a recipe that works - now I just have to change the flavour!!!!!! TAm

Thanks again ladies. Well my first attempt at bread in the TMX wasn't a total disaster........I halved the amount after the 1st rise, stuck half in the fridge wrapped in baking paper and a towel (that was one of my mistakes as I have just gone to get it out of the fridge and there's a crust!!!!!!!!! Have managed to get to the middle of the dough to get 4 mini rolls for hubby's lunch today - that's if they rise ) With the other half I made rosemary, oil, garlic and sea salt scrolls - they looked lovely going into the oven but I didn't have them all together on the tray and they cooked in about 12mins (I had set the timer to 15min and thought I'd check them). Anyway, my little girls still thought they were wonderful - even though they were rather crispy!!!!! I Have learnt a few lessons in breadmaking.

yes after the 1st rise, covered with glad wrap, any where in the fridge will do
i am making 90 little rolls tomorrow 
But you must bring them back to room temp before you can cook them.
They only take 2 hours to make from the time you put the flour in the TMX bowl, until they are cooked. If you start at 10.00am they are ready for lunch. At 12.00. During this time you only spend about 10 mins. Attending to the rolls.
If you use the cold oven start they are even quicker. Less than 1 1/2 hours.
You could also under cook them and then stick them in a hot oven for 10 mins. This is what I do, In fact I am doing it for lunch tomorrow.
Thanks again ladies!!!!! I like the idea of par baking - can you please tell me how long to do the 1st cook??? I'm presuming it's about 2/3rds of the total cooking time? Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply............. I needed to make it before I received a reply and thankfully I went with the whole amount of water.........it's sitting in the server now and appears to have cooked well!!!!! I just wanted to make a small amount for hubby and I as we've been riced out over the last few nights and I don't think I'll use the leftovers tomorrow. I have frozen rice in the past however I don't think it tastes half as nice

Has anyone left this dough overnight to prove? If so, is it best to pop it in the bottom of the fridge, covered? I want to have them for DH's lunch tomorrow but don't want to be up at 5 making them  Thanks!!

I feel silly asking this............when reducing the amount of rice eg 400gms to 200gms - do I reduce the water accordingly also> Or do I just leave it at 900g as per the EDC? Thanks!!!

Thank you ladies! I made porridge this morning - without the heat!!! One for the bin. Also, hubby is complaining how loud it is...........he can't remember it being this loud at the demo - I don't mind the noise but he hates it  Oh well, we can't have it all, can we!!!

Thanks everyone for your very warm welcome!!!!! Well, needless to say, my family were VERY well fed last night. We loved it all. I have a question though.........I'll ask in another section too - cooking the rice with the aroma function on speed 5 resulted in the MC popping out all the time and there was also quite a bit of water spitting out - is this normal? ?? I actually turned the speed to 4 - not sure it this did anything. Lovely rice though!

Hi everyone! I am going to be the proud owner of a TM in about 10mins I'm so excited that there is such an excellent on-line community of TM users as I'm sure you'll be of great help to me. I've been an active member of another well known recipe site and it feels kind of strange to be on another forum Am SOOOOOO excited about owning a TM - my lovely hubby has bought it for me and is looking forward to the meals/baking etc that it can do. I love cooking and baking and know that it'll make my life so much easier and fun to boot!!!! Anwyay, enough of my babbling - look forward to chatting from time to time and gaining some much needed advice - I must admit that I'm a little in awe of the TM and worried that my first few attempts to cook anything will be a failure - hopefully I'll be proven wrong. Tam
