Or

The link to the recipe is in the twitter link. I hope it works.

Will have to use carrots and swede in the mash as DH doesn't like parsnips or beetroot.

Bread / DJ's soft springy loaf with thanks to Uni
« on: January 12, 2014, 03:42:47 pm »
Based on Uni's quick rolls in under an hour. Thanks Uni so much. I make the rolls often. It makes lovley loaves, but not in under an hour to get the right softness and bounce.

http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12530.0

So many people have asked me about the adapted big soft loaves so I thought I'd start a new thread with all my info in one place. Please refer back to Uni's thread too.  

600 g strong white plain flour (bakers flour) or 450g  strong white and 150 wholemeal. ( or other mix of flours)
370g tepid water ( may need a fraction more, depends on flours)
22 g fresh yeast (or 2.5 tsp traditional dried yeast or 2 tsp fast action instant yeast - the fast action is very very small grains)
Two slugs of olive oil (two tablespoons) I don't measure it!
1 tsp sea salt
Scant half teaspoon of vit C powder

Put water in  *: with yeast and mix speed 2 20 secs.
Weigh in flour.
Put on top of flour the salt, the vit c and oil.

Shut lid and  :: for four minutes. After one minute add a little water if it needs it, repeat as necessary. Only experience will tell you this. The dough should feel soft but not stick to your fingers. It should just be handleable.

Leave to rise until double or pushing mc out. In my temps about 40 minutes.
Turn out on to silpat mat and shape into a two pound loaf.
Put in loaf tin. Spray with water.
Leave to rise until double and finger test indicates proof is complete. Can take up to an hour. ( the better the rising and proofing, the softer the loaf). When almost ready slash top with sharp knife or lame.

Just before the oven spray the top again with water. Sprinkle with seeds optional.
Put in oven 220 approx, lower if fan. Turn 180' after 15 to 20 mins. Briefly spray inside of oven.
Done in 30 to 35 mins.

Here are some pics ( sorry for size of pics and long post)
Enjoy..and bake

Desserts / Chocolate and orange bread and butter pudding
« on: December 20, 2013, 10:44:44 pm »
Name of Recipe: chocolate and orange bread and butter pudding
I just made this up tonight, and this is what I did. Thanks to Judy I have altered my original metric/imperial measurements.
Can be halved or quartered to make small quantities.

Number of People: 6 to 8

Ingredients:
Bread, buttered, and spread with marmalade, and cut into slices and squares. 3/4 of a white sliced loaf.
70g choc chips
700 mls milk
100 g plain choc.
75 g sugar
4 eggs
1 orange rind, carefully peeled with peeler.

Blitz orange rind with sugar in  *:. Add 100g plain chocolate and blitz until the chocolate is crumbed.
Add in milk and warm at 50 speed 2 until choc melted. The idea is to melt the plain choc without heating the mix too much.
Cool the mix.
When  cool add eggs and blitz until smooth.

In a ten inch square dish layer the bread and butter around the edges, the base and add two more layers, butter side up.
 Sprinkle choc chips in the two middle layers.

Pour over the egg milk mix and leave to soak for a minimum of 30 minutes, mine soaked two hours.
Optional sprinkle with Demerara sugar. I didn't and it was sweet enough. If I was going to do this I'd reduce the sugar in the recipe.

Oven bake approx 40 minutes at 150 fan oven until risen like a soufflé.

It was a big hit.  ;D

Chit Chat / Urgent gas BBQ question, thanks
« on: July 15, 2013, 01:22:30 pm »
Hello everyone
We are going to buy a gas BBQ as we have no cooker at present, too hot for Aga and it will be very useful when we knock out the kitchen wall!
Going for 4 burners plus side hob.
Do we need one with a rotisserie, currently great offer on one but is more £.
Experiences please to help us decide. Thanks v much.
I need to order in next few hours to be sure of delivery in time.
Many thanks
