Beautiful, Uni and Jess!  Those tall loaves are looking mighty fine too!

I'm sure that I have read through this whole thread at least once, but can't quite remember if anyone has added seeds to this mix?  Don't have time to read through it now and I wonder if anyone knows if that will work?  Thanks, sorry if that's cheeky.

I made this into a loaf today. I used my largest tin and the bread is enormous.

Great work Uni & Jess - I love the colour of the rolls, can never get mine to look as light as that  :P

As previously mentioned, I made the dough yesterday afternoon, let it do the first rising in the bowl, shaped them into baguette type rolls and placed in the fridge overnight.  I used 1/2 white flour and 1/2 grain flour.  This morning I bought them to room temp for about an hour, slashed and sprayed them then placed them into a cold oven set for 210o and cooked them for 30 minutes.  I was very happy with them and also a bit surprised that they even rose further in the fridge overnight.

I could probably have cooked them a little less, what do you reckon Chookie - 20 minutes perhaps?

Judy, 20 mins. Probably plenty. although depends on how long your oven took to reach 210.   Did you turn the tray around half way through?

They look lovely Judy. The 'tray' is amazing isn't it? We have even had baguette shaped fruit bread today.  :-* :-* :-* :-*CC.

No Chookie, why do I need to do that?

Yes Cookie, I love it and it is so much easier to store than metal trays.

Wow, this thread is 23 pages long! I haven't read it for ages and there's been a lot of experimentation. Love the tall loaves.

I haven't made chookie's rolls for a while as I've been making Teninas Buttermilk Rolls.
I like the idea of starting with a roux. I think I'll experiment with chookie's recipe using a roux starter. Has anyone done that yet?
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
