Bread / Bread roll recipe that can be left in the fridge till I need it
« on: June 30, 2012, 10:37:05 am »
Hi guys,

I want to be able to bake fresh rolls for our lunch each night - but there are only 2 of us so I only need to bake 2 or 3 at a time. Can I mix up a dough and just leave it in the fridge and use what I need on a daily basis? Or will the dough go funny?

I'm not a great bread maker - so thanks in advance for your help!

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Recipe Review For Foods Sake - Scented Shortbread Page 121
« on: February 11, 2012, 07:12:49 am »
Just made this shortbread as a small gift for a friend's birthday tonight. Decided to make the Crio Bru flavoured one.

I have never made real shortbread before so at first I thought the dough was really crumbly - not really a dough. To roll it into a sausage shape to then cut up proved a little challenging and I started to wonder if I had missed something out...BUT - it turned out so yummy....so I am assuming this is how shortbread dough is supposed to be!

The crio bru is a really subtle flavour - not at all overpowering or too sweet to have with a cuppa (we do have to admit to having a teaspoon each of the crio sugar you make before starting this....very yummy but naughty!).

The recipe said to cook for 12-15mins - we did it for 15 and they turned out beautifully, the kitchen smelt amazing too. Although they were made for a gift I think we will have to keep some for ourselves. I think we might have made them a bit smaller as we made just under 50 of them. Photos are below.

Cheers

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Recipe Review & questions - Tenina's sourdough from For Food's Sake
« on: February 03, 2012, 06:15:03 am »
Hi All,

I am about to attempt to make Tenina's Cheats' Sourdough (just got the book this morning!). I have some figs in the fridge and thought maybe I'd make a fig and walnut sourdough.

Firstly I am planning on halving the recipe since it makes 2 loaves and I only want to do one since we don't eat much bread. Since they cook individually I can't see what difference it makes so I think I am all good here.

But - I am a bit of a newbie so I am not quite sure when to add the walnuts and figs (they are fresh figs - will this even work?? Our dehydrator is still in storage), I want them to stay somewhat visible so I will chop them by hand, would I just add them to the mix prior to kneading the dough?

Hopefully someone can help me out on this so I can give it a go!

Thanks

Shan

Chit Chat / Attention any Spanish speaker (or patient users of google translate!)
« on: January 25, 2012, 10:05:04 am »
I was checking out Book Depository today and they have quite a few Thermomix Recipe books on there - cheap prices and free delivery....but mostly in Spanish (although 1 is in German). I haven't ordered any as yet so don't know what they are like - some look oldish so may even be for the TM21.

I thought I would pass it on in case anyone was interested. Also, Thermomix Chile have heaps of recipes on their website as well. Links are below.

Book Depository: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/search?searchTerm=thermomix&search=search
Thermomix Chile: http://thermomix.cl/recetas/

I'm not fluent in spanish - but if someone wants a hand translating any on the Chile site feel free to ask and I will have a go.

Cheers

Chit Chat / Wow - Thanks forum people :)
« on: January 14, 2012, 07:44:30 am »
Just wanted to say such a big thanks to all the people on here who contribute. We have been cooking up a storm over the last week - all forum recipes since all my books are packed away still - and everything turns out perfect.

To the people that share the recipes to those that cook them and comment or make further suggestions - you make it very easy for people like me who are too chicken to not use a recipe! My partner hates using recipes and like to experiment so hopefully I can contribute some of his recipes over the coming months :)

Cheers

Introduce Yourself / Newbie from Perth

Hi All,

We actually got our Thermomix early in 2010 but in mid 2010 we took off on an 18 month holiday. We are not long home now and I am keen to start cooking again. I have got a vege concentrate cooking as we speak and am planning on making Quirky Jo's Chicken and Mushroom Risotto tonight. Also whipped up some scones on the weekend which went down treat.

I haven't yet attempted to convert any recipes yet but I'm sure Ill give it a try soon!

Cheers
