Thanks Katya, there seems to be lots of cheap tomatoes round at the moment, or better still from the garden.

When I made this bread the other day I used 520g of bakers' flour and it was not sticky at all, just right.

CP63, I have been trying to get some fresh yeast too. I used to buy it in health food shops but none seem to have it. I believe VHJ asked at Brumby's and was suitably rewarded. I'll go and try my local one during next week.

Mumbai Calling had so many 'home truths' in it. I really enjoyed the show.

Judy it's lovely to hear that others have similar problems to me.

I had the same problem and was running round frantically thinking I had broken my TMX. DD was cool and calm and checked the book and found out the reason-it was too hot.

Welcome Sunny. It is wonderful that your whole family are involved with your new 'toy'.

You are right, we need to have another get together now that the ankle biters are back at school. MJ did you say you were coming to Perth in February?

I'm glad your TMX has arrived. It must have gone to the gold coast before it got to you. 15 days is a long time. You could have driven over and picked it up. Have fun now that it has arrived. Don't forget that people on here are only too glad to help.

I have a couple of tins with lids CAthy. I like them because the bread is then square-some people, DD, don't like the big curve on their bread!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually I don't use the lids that often. I now have a selection of 5 bread tins and end up with all sorts of loaves.

Isi, once again this looks lovely. I think I will love it. As I don't have a 30cm tin I may try a half recipe, or just put it in 2 tins. Will photograph it and let you know how it goes.
I went and bought a 12.5kg bag of bakers flour this morning so I am ready to go. I seem to run out quickly even though there's only 3 of us eating it.
