Fresh Bread for breakfast and lunches, Hally's High Bread

[cookie1]

Had a great success with this method today.  I used 100% wholemeal flour and it produced lovely bread.  Thank you everybody!

Excellent news. Well done.

Chookie,
I still haven't tried this with a loaf but have done some rolls.  I don't have any ideal bread tins, so just wondered if there's any you would recommend (size, brand etc) ? Just had a quick look on Ebay and there's a few from Hong Kong etc. Is it better to get one with a lid ? Do you ever use a lid on rectangle tins ? I'm thinking if I can make it look like the shop bought ones, maybe the kids will accept it more ! But saying that they did really like the bread rolls though.  

Ohhh also, H or Chookie after the first rise in the TMX bowl, do you knead again in the bowl or take it out and knock it back by hand ?

I leave it in the bowl for 1st rise, take it out & knock it down by hand. I love the feel of dough so really enjoy this part. Then either place in my loaf tin or I shape it in to a loaf or rolls.

Deb,  you can bake your bread in a cake tin,  pyrex,  a saucepan  or anything that takes your fancy.  I don't have a tin with a lid but but would like one.  I have lots of tins, mostly given to me by people who have found them  in OP shops.

Thank you Chookie and H.  I'm thinking of buying one of these tins:

Here's my loaf, delicious and it looked pretty good too, if I don't say so myself 

[achookwoman]

Yes Suzannne you can say that.  It does look good. Congratulations.

[judydawn]

That looks great suzanne and it looks as if it would be easy to slice too as it is not too high.  Well done, yes you can give yourself a pat on the back - we all do it everytime we bake a loaf

Thanks ladies, I was so proud of myself, never thought I would be able to do it, but with the tremendous amount of help and support on here I did

Well done Suzanne

This is the only recipe I use now for our regular everyday bread.

I've just made a loaf and I added 1 Tbsp milk powder for fun. Also, subbed honey for sugar - about 1 1/2 tsp. Sprayed the top before popping in the oven and cooked for 20 minutes in tin and 3 minutes out of tin.

Awesome bread! Soft centred, high rise and luscious!

I agree MJ, I make this a couple of times a week now, so easy. I mill 100g of whole wheat first to make a whole meal version. I call it "happy Hally bread"!

[meganjane]

  Happy Hally Bread! Love it! My bread (what's left of it) is still soft today - that's three days of beautiful, soft, fresh bread.
