Bread / Simple Pretzels
« on: October 01, 2013, 06:10:57 am »
I found a simple Pretzel recipe from the Vorwerk Thermomix iPad app.  Just thought I'd share it, as the other pretzel recipes I've come across have a lot of ingredients.  I just wanted a nice simple one.  Apologies if this is already on here somewhere else.

Ingredients:
400g milk
40g fresh yeast or 7g dry yeast
600g bakers flour
2 teaspoons salt
600g water
4 tablespoons baking soda/bicarb soda
course salt to sprinkle

Method:
1. Place milk and yeast in TM bowl - warm for 2 minutes/37 degrees/speed 2
2. Add flour and salt.  :: 2 mins, 30 secs,  *:
3. Place dough in bowl, cover, and allow to rise for approx 30 minutes or until dough has roughly doubled in size
4. Preheat oven to 200 degrees
5. Divide dough into ten equal pieces, roll each onto non-stick surface into a rope shape (60cm long), thinner at the ends.  Form pretzel shape
6. Bring water to boil, add baking soda.  Boil pretzels one at a time for 30-60 seconds, place on baking tray lined with baking paper
7. Sprinkle salt on top, or other desired toppings such as sesame/poppy seeds, etc (optional)
8. Bake in oven for 13-15 minutes or until golden on top.

Special Diets / Zucchini Slice from TMX Gluten Free Book
« on: June 12, 2012, 09:18:56 am »
Hi everyone, I made the zucchini slice that's in the TMX gluten free book this evening.

I followed the recipe to the letter, with the following exceptions:

* Recipe suggests to mill brown rice into four - I only had white rice, so I used this
* Recipe generically states 'cheese'.  The only cheese I had was Edam, so I just used that.  Not sure if it would make much of a difference or not?
* Recipe states 350gm zucchini, I only had 290gm left, so I just used that.

Anyway, it smelt absolutely beautiful, but the taste was a little 'just okay'.  I can't really describe it, but didn't leave the best after taste, not horrible or anything, just 'meh'...

Being useless when it comes to food and cooking, I'm wondering if perhaps my combinations of the Edam cheese, less zucchini and white rice perhaps made it not as nice as it could be?

Can anyone suggest any improvements?  Many thanks  :)

Desserts / Sorbet (Lemon) from EDC question
« on: April 22, 2012, 10:55:37 am »
Just did the lemon sorbet from the EDC this evening.

I followed the instructions to the letter, and found it to be a little too sweet.  Next time I'll just use a little less sugar.  No big deal there  :)

Question from my Wife.  She has a slight allergic reaction to the egg white (nothing major).  Next time we'll try it without the egg, does anyone know what difference the egg white makes?

Thanks.

Introduce Yourself / Hi from Cranbourne
« on: March 26, 2012, 01:40:25 am »
Hi there, my name is Kent, I live in Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia.

My Mum introduced me to her TM machine a few months ago, and I'm really impressed by it.  I really want one.  I'm not much of a cook, so having a nifty easy to use gadget will help encourage me to eat healthier, fresh foods.

Also interested in becoming a Consultant, as I'd like to make more people aware of this awesome product.  I have a full time job, so not at all in it for the money, just for a hobby on the side really.

Just need to save up some money to get one now :-)
