I won't show you my bakes from Thursday, DIL & baby & DD came to visit unexpectedly,lovely though, so since they seemed to be staying for the afternoon I thought we might need cakes. So I looked in the freezer & saw some leftover Christmas unbaked mince pies, & then some unbaked jam tart cases minus the jam. They'll do I thought, so popped half a dozen of each on a tray,added jam to the tarts,popped them in the oven, disappeared to play with grandaughter,returning 15 minutes to see some very sorry looking flat discs of pastry with mincemeat & jam on top.
It hadn't occurred to me I should put them in bun trays😅😅

Thanks...that's what I did, & DIL said they were jam tart biscuits. Just shows my state of mind at the moment. Every year I freeze mince pies & always pop them back in the bun tray to bake from frozen

I use one from sainsburys, link below and it works very well, was only £5 a few weeks back I noticed, so bought another.
It creates a perfect shape for the baguettes.

How they look with the baguette tray;

These are the ones I use. I line them with baking parchment which I leave until it disintegrates. The metal gives really good crusty baguettes.

Thanks all,was in John Lewis last week & got a tin for £10, there was a mason & cash terracotta one for, wait for it

£35, thankyou but no thankyou

That all looks yummy,never thought to look in Dunelm for a tin

[chrissie B]

Im not a tin expert but its a nice weighty onè and you get the little bobbles on the bottom well pleased with it , i find with dunelm its best to check stock on line first then reserve it you can pick up in store after 3 hours .

Used a Paul Hollywood recipe but with a bag of French flour I got from Aldi earlier in the year. Had a great flavour & texture. Only got a bit though as gave son & partner 1, then took the partially tested one over to daughter s I went for tea, but she'd got wraps for tea. Didn't like to say can we have the bread!

[chrissie B]

That looks very nice , rustic and crunchy yum.

Thank you , what I got of it was yummy, so much so that hubby had a go today whilst I finished off my sour dough, instead of 2 loaves I made 1 loaf & 8 cobs. He made 2 French sticks( not as good as mine,he just won't listen to instructions) but we ate 1 for lunch before I took the photo😄

Nice lot of bread there.
Like the shape of that loaf, what kind of tin is that done in?
