Bread / Home-Made Bread Too Heavy
« on: September 12, 2011, 04:40:16 am »
Hi all, since I got my TMX about a year ago and started baking my own bread I'm pleased to say that I have not bought a single loaf or bun as my own efforts have been so successful
I find the trick to keeping the home-made effort sustainable whilst being a busy working Mum is baking three loaves at a time (I invested in three tins) then slicing and freezing so I have a constant supply.
Only problem I have: DH complains that my bread is too heavy. It doesn't matter which recipe I use, he says they're all too heavy and not light and soft like shop-bought bread. He loves my bread toasted (Cyndi O'Meara's Bible Bread gives The Best crunch) but he doesn't like the home-made bread fresh for sandwiches/rolls.
As I don't want to use any store-bought bread improvers because I have some question marks over the ingredients I wonder what other people do/use to help bread to be lighter/fluffier/airier?
Thanks in advance for any hints
