Bread ****

[arctic78]

been doing the no knead method for years now an find it very convenient and very versatile. Great bread also.
have a great book on it but will have to fish it out to find the name. don't use it any more.
I have used sour dough starters and also beer yeast in the recipes and they all work great.
We leave ours around a week before baking. have two containers in the fridge at all times at different stages and just add to them as needed. We also still make other breads the traditional way but for simplicity no knead is the way to go

Just wondering is anyone here uses a Wondermill Jnr and if so, have you motorised it?

The wife bought one and she finds it a bit hard to grind..

I'm looking at the 'Motion Dynamics' motor for grain mills..

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Your wife can get a 'bit' adapter and use a hand drill they sell them on Amazon.

First go at Turkish bread the other day with a really slack dough it came out superb.

Made this 'Pide' after buying some interesting looking seeds called 'Kalonji' (Indian) Arabic translation 'Seeds of Blessing' also known as Nigella Sativa, great flavour addition, have been putting these seeds in all my bread.

'Kalonji'

The black seed often seen on Naan bread.

Thats the one, but on Google comes up as black caraway or black cumin seed but for me it looks like onion seeds,very tasty.

 

[indica86]

Also called black onion seed.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

I'll go with that.

Hi All,
I brewed a stout on the weekend and looked into the drained mashtun and started thinking...so I baked an Oat stout loaf. Quite tasty, I used 25% grain to flour but would go 50/50 next time.
Need to take the grain hydration into account or the dough becomes too wet.

Have started doing wholemeal and grain loaves now.

This is a Laucke* German Grain mix.. Has Kibbled Rye,Linseed, Wheat & Maize in it.

Its a pretty wet mix, but with extended proofing it comes out very nice and light.

Going to try it with a sourdough starter very soon

The old Kenwood mixer is the ducks when it comes to dough

* No affiliation but their flour is the best I have used and easily available. And they are based in S.A

Laukie is cat's whiskers. So is my bread machine. Purists may scoff, meh. Have at your kneading.
Their pizza dough mix delivers the goods every time, and the kids love making their own. Nice and light in even than less than ideal conditions ( pan and improvised Weber pizza oven)
I ate this, times two. And Stone & Wood beer, times six.

I recently used my bread machine to make a cheesy Jalapeno loaf.

This is the receipt I used for my bread machine.

Laucke white flour 2 cups.
Unprocessed brain 0.5 cups.
Laucke multigrain 0.5 cups.
100 grams Cheddar cheese. Chopped / diced.
3-4 Medium sized Jalapeño Chillies. Chopped / diced.
Bread yeast as recommended.
400 mls water.

Turned out great, it is a fantastic base for most fillings that go with cheese and chillies. That is just about anything.
I make this regularly with or without cheese and Jalapeno.

No picture sorry as it dosent last long.

Very nice. My wife and I haven't bought a loaf of bread in over 3 years.

Chucking a mix into our breadmaker is faster than driving down to the shops to buy a loaf.

Purists may scoff

Scoff.

Cooler weather is perfect for long, slow sourdough ferments. This one had 2 x 12 hour rises.

I recently got a sourdough starter from Airghead......its

Slowly feeding it up and looking forward to using it.

Damn thing smells amazing as a starter
