Bit OT - what's the best bakeware?

[gertbysea]

I had things to do so sent DH on a mission to Bakery and Catering Services  in Cairns He spoke to Andrew the baker and Andrew sold him an aluminiumized (sp?) steel bread tin 27cm  X 12cm (at the top). This one has diagional fluted sides and bottom though they do sell the ordinary ones, I wanted something a bit different. Andrew swore this tin is the one that commercial bakers use in Cairns and it is made in Australia to baker specifications for a 680gm loaf though it would hold a great deal more according to me. According to the TMX it weighs 710 gms. The cost was $21.95 plus GST of $2.10. When I have time I will pop down for a further look see as DH said they had lots of different things and if I should really go myself. Hint hint!

Tomorrow I will make a five seed loaf and let you know how it goes.  Andrew said I could lightly oil it but I am thinking that defeats the purpose of a bread tin. Do bakers do that?

If anyone one is interested I will post the phone number. or you can email for info at  office@bcsnq.com

Maybe we can compare brazen.

Well I made the 5 seed loaf in the new tin, took a pic of it now I will have to figure out how to post the pic. Ineed to downsize it but don't have the time now. Will try later. In any case it worked! I did oil the tin and the loaf did fall out.

I was so  happy with this bread tin I went out and bought the one 1/2 it's size as well as a lid for the bigger one. Andrew the baker  is most helpful as are the girls in the office and they actually had a Thermomix pamphlet on the wall. I told Andrew he really should have a demo and see what we are all talking about. I can't figure out how to post the photo but I see it is there for you to click on. Not computer literate. At least I was able to downsize it.

Gretchen that bread looks fabulous. I would gladly buy a loaf of bread that looked that good.

[gertbysea]

Ah shucks. Thanks.  No creampuff I was standing in it! That 5 seed bread is really fabulously easy to make and surprisingly light.

Great photo Gretchen, lovely looking bread and to top it all a clean kitchen.

I love the 5 seed bread. I had a slice of other yesterday as DD had bought it and it tasted so different. Didn't enjoy it at all.

Interesting...Andrew, the baker at the bread tin shop, told me to keep the temp of the dough for most breads at 27 degrees. He said it would give it a different flavour all together and not to bother with tepid water for the yeast.

Yeah I will never pay or eat store bought bread again. I learned a lot about commercial bread baking. YUK!

It has to be better for us. I'll live to 100, boy won't I be a cranky old fool by then. Think I'd better go before 100.

Hey GertbySea that is one sexy bread tin you have there!     Are we allowed to say the "S" word on the forum? The bread looks good, but the kitchen is the real focus isn't it? I'm thinking maybe this is your own private "demo" kitchen, and that you have another 'real' kitchen somewhere else  That's a photo I could use in the "Show us your Bimby" album... hmmm?

 
Keep on baking!

Well I had to try my other new bread tin too so after making butter I used he buttermilk to make this loaf from the EDC. I used cold water not tepid. I know the tin is small but it really popped it's top.
