Bread / Bread using chia seeds
« on: October 28, 2011, 10:09:58 am »
Hi
I make a bit of bread but loving using my new TMX  to do the mixing, gives me the best start , so happy, but I thought I would share a little trick I have been using lately. I have been adding 2 tablespoons of chai seed gel to the dough, apart from the health benefits it gives me the best crust .......it gives me a crisp and crunchy loaf ....
Kids have been asking for more.....of that seedy bread ...:)))
Just thought I'd share :))))
