The 200 deg is ordinary temp so mine would be 180 for fan .

Sorry Chrissie, my fault. It's 200 Deg. in a fan oven. I'll get the hang of this recipe lark, I'm  only a bloke after all!

I made a wholemeal/white sandwich loaf with milk, butter and golden syrup :tongue2:

Going hiking tomorrow so wanted some good bread for my sarnis.  walking will burn off the extra calories  :)

I've been unusually scientific with my last few loaves, and voila, I think I've found the main problem that has plagued me this Winter. The water has been too cold, so I've upped the temperature, and what a difference. How stupid can a person be.
So, with a mixture of the warmer water, a small teaspoon of lemon juice....thanks Val, and just a little more yeast, I've hit upon a well risen loaf with 25% buckwheat, 65% whole flour with just a little white flour.
The xanthan gum worked  well in the rising stakes, but has been shelved due to the uneven texture and a very slight tang I would rather not taste.

Acording to paul holliwood you can use cold water it will just take longer. I can't  remember when i last bought bread , i just make a loaf freeze half use half when second half comes out the freezer then i bake another so i dont run out .

Cold water is fine

 My bread was good and sliced really well this morning

My hike was extreme!  Absolutely exhausting.  weather terrible ::)

Ok ive  done the fruit bun recipie using a wrights pckt , i waited an age for it to rise and once the fruit was added which i thought was too much was awful to handle as the prunes disinterested  and i thought the birds would be getting them , so cookrd anyway and although not as big as i had hoped they were nice so would try again but less prunes maybe some cherries .
anyone got a rating on a comercial product , they have a skinny pie recipe using bread as the pastry also curried chicken pasties , theysound nice .

Yes we have used loads of them,cheese & onion,tomato & Parmesan,garlic & Rosemary foccacia,ciabatta, linseeds +, brown one as well. Did them in a bread maker, baked & then cooked in the oven then latterly mixed in kenwood & baked in the oven. Always worked out well for us, but now I'm doing mainly my own mix & sourdough

Twas bread day tiday and I did the usual three batches of white unbleached, and a batch of wholegrain and oat, all the same basic 500g/7g/5g salt, but with a splash of oil in two. two bloomers, a small wholegrain and chesse and onion, garlic and herb, white and wholegrain rolls ready for visitors. They all have different textures depending on what was added,
