Bread / Re: Isi´s easy Portuguese Rolls

Help! Pls solve this mystery for me!

I rushed off to Woolies and bought Laucke's "crusty white bread mix"... Mixed 2 tsp dried yeast, honey and 300ml warm water and added to 500 gm flour in TMX... result, a bit doughy and dense. In fact, there were bits stuck on TMX and were not exactly easy to come off my hands when I was rolling them... the bread was ok but not fabulous.

Is the problem the fact that I used "bread mix"?

Also, Isi, whenever you mention flour do  you always mean plain flour (eg cinnamon cookies)?

I have never made bread before so pardon me if this is a really stupid question! If I want to use white flour for this recipe, should I use plain or SR flour and should I still use 500 gms?

Made the biscuits today but forgot to chop the macadamia nuts upfront..lol! Left it out of the recipe this time.

The success of the recipe was revealed when I left the room for 15 mins and DD had consumed 4 of these whilst they were cooling! 5 stars in our household

Yes that was my problem too since I didn't know how many mls in each can. Ended up using 400 ml condensed milk and about 200 ml of evaporated milk. But would love to know if I was near the ballpark?!

I though that there was another thread with this question - ?  but the main one for me is the Vegetarien - it has lots of tested recipes.



Did you mean the Taste of Vegetarian... it looks good as well.

I made it yesterday and the review from daughter is it is absolutely yummy -very morish!

Next time, I might just tweak it by adding saffron threads (authentic touch) and reduce the amt of evaporated milk. Overall, great recipe!

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Which Thermomix books would you recommend?
« on: January 27, 2010, 08:17:09 am »
Hi,
As a newbie, I am wondering which Thermomix cookbooks I should invest in...especially since the recipes in the EDC is so variable.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I printed out your recipe to make it and realised that I didn't know if you used 180 gm plain flour or 80 gm plain flour... I will wait until your reply before venturing forth in the kitchen to bake these beauties. Thks

I used to be a social bridge player but decided to learn through a bridge club last year.
Bridgebase online is a great online place to practice and have fun. Try it!

Introduce Yourself / Yet another sceptic turned convert!
« on: January 23, 2010, 04:55:05 am »
Hi
I am the latest Themomix convert. Was totally sceptical about its claims when I heard about it, then intrigued and now totally converted!

I am madly going through all the recipes in the Forum to make up my own recipe book and try these delicious recipes.

I am also starting to get seriously addicted to this forum! When I am not on the Thermomix (very little time admittedly!), or playing bridge online (yes, another addiction), I am checking out this forum. The friendliness is just wonderful and amazing. A special thank you to the wonderful Thermomixer...for all your help.
