Chit Chat / Re: Butter
« on: January 12, 2011, 09:31:04 am »
Cuilllidh,  these tips came from others,  sorry can't remember who, but thanks they really work.  I use 1200mls of thickened cream.  ($2.25 for 600mls here.)  2 litres of chilled water,100 mls of Rice Bran oil,  and 2 teaspoons of salt.
Follow the instructions in the EDC book, page 12.
The oil is added after you have wash the remaining buttermilk out.




600 mils makes 280g of butter,  the buttermilk is a bonus. Hope this helps.

Miss thermo,  make the Chow Mein recipe with either beef  of chicken,  (or Just vegies) .  Cool it down and then roll in spring roll wrappers,  spray with oil and bake in over,  or fry in a little oil until crispy.  We had the beef Chow mein tonight and you have given me a good idea for tomorrow night. ;D ;D ;D

Chelsea, the tin is 25 x16 cm., and slopes slightly in to the base.   I paid $2.50 for it at Aldi, on their bargain table.
thermoheaven the crumb was good for sandwiches when fresh,  but even better for toast.  next tome I will post a photo before it gets eaten.

Bkmundt, to make the top crust look like this,  score the top with a very sharp knife or blade to about 1cm. Deep when the loaf is about 3/4 way through 2 rise.  brush with egg wash,  that has been  beaten with a little water.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bread / Re: got my wheat....now what?
« on: January 11, 2011, 04:30:19 am »
Chelsea is right on the ball.  I use about 1/3 of grain in a loaf or rolls. Some times this is just soaked a lightly boiled whole wheat,  other times it is ground.  I also add,  in addition a handful of whatever grains I have on hand.   Start out with some thing simple to get the feel,  then add what ever you fancy. Wholemeal flour required a little more water.  I have posted today,  under Bread,  a $1 loaf that is made with the 1/3 wholemeal to 2/3 commercial bread flour.  Let us know how you are going.

Bread / $1 Bread Loaf
« on: January 11, 2011, 04:02:45 am »
Made this today ,  based on the 'no fuss' roll recipe.  This is just the cost of the flour.   I didn't count the electricity as I cooked it at the same time as I roasted a chicken.  It is 2/3 white,  and 1/3 home ground wholemeal flour.

I think that the cooking of the garlic takes some of the kick out of it.  This is indeed quite different to the sliced baguette with the fresh taste of garlic.

I also use rice bran oil in my butter, and then freeze it in small containers.

Chit Chat / Re: Help I need a new Oven
« on: January 10, 2011, 06:00:59 am »
I have a st. George and love it. The st.G. Had the option of a side opening door,  from either side,  which is good if you are short.  It also has a double oven which is handy.   The only problem is that it turns itself off if it thinks it. Is too hot.  This is at about 250o.  I had a Chef and it kept throwing the thermostat.Size is something to be considered.   good luck and do your homework as it is important.
