Great post :) anyone have any tips for applying this fridge method when using yeast rather than a starter? And spelt flour?

Cheers,

Bread / Re: Almost No Work Whole Grain Spelt Bread - with a crumb of yeast
« on: August 26, 2012, 06:13:13 am »
Hi folks,

I have made this bread many, many times; and enjoy the taste a lot!

However, the crumb looks different from the picture in the recipe - a bit more 'gluey' - and wonder what I could do to improve? Is there a particular factor that would improve it? More milling (I do 60-90s on speed 9-10 in 220g lots), more yeast, more kneading, more heat, more time? They come out of the oven at 90+ degrees on my meat thermometer and I let them cool for hours.

Sometimes I use all spelt, as in this photo's case, but spelt and rye looks similar (click the link for a bigger version).

Cheerio!

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Adzuki Stew: typo in gluten free cookbook - cook it for 45m not 10m!
« on: May 24, 2012, 01:43:42 pm »
This recipe starts with cooking soaked adzuki beans for only 10m, then adding vegetables and cooking for another 20m. The beans were nowhere near cooked.

I should have known better - and when checking the other cookbooks general legume guide, it's clear you would need to cook the adzuki for 40-50m first!

Cheerio,

News about Thermomix / Re: Thermomix travel bag & February's travel bag

So, does the $80 basic bag come in green or black, or just green?

Does the odd shaped piece of rigid foam go on the base of the bag for the TM to sit on? It doesn't seem to fit very well in the green bag my consultant just dropped off.

Cheerio!

This is my favourite bread recipe so far :)

I halve the recipe for my medium loaf tin, mill the grains in the TM and do the rest by hand: about 30s mix at the beginning and 30s knead at the end. Also add some caraway at the beginning. It comes out a little denser than the picture above :)

Have tried letting it rise in the tin for a couple of hours before baking. Seemed to work as well and the top doesn't split that way.

Anyone tried longer fermentation - like 18 hours?

Cheerio,
B

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: Dangers of buying TMX overseas (if in Aussieland)

I think the TM31 has actually gone up a bit in recent years in Australia - read it was $1870 or something a couple of years back...

Thermomix in Australia repair machines in Australia on the following basis:
• Thermomix in Australia reserves the right not to carry out repairs on machines that have been
purchased directly from overseas or on eBay where they are sourced from overseas.
• Warranty Terms & Conditions only apply to purchases made directly from Thermomix in
Australia. Owners may be required to send their machine back to its original point of
purchase for repair.
• Priority for all repairs will always be given to customers who have purchased from Thermomix
in Australia.

Hi folks,

Long time reader :)

In theory, this suggests Thermomix may repair overseas models if the repairs are paid for? But I gather Thermomix in practice won't repair at all?
