| 701 | The recipe.... Place 6 cups of flour and a teaspoon of salt in a bowl.. add the warm beer and mix in well - use a wooden spoon, then use your hands once the dough is thick.. add some warm water if more liquid is needed. Knead the dough to form a ball. Cover and leave about 10 minutes. Knead the dough until smooth, then shape as you want. He cooked it in the fire at this stage, however I would place it as a loaf or as rolls on a baking paper lined tray, or in loaf or other tins. Cover and leave to rise until doubled in size.. I would think it would take about an hour or so.. Bake at 230°C until the bread sounds hollow when tapped with your finger nail or a teaspoon.. and enjoy.. juliewn - 2008-09-18 01:31:00 |
| 702 | You could add fresh or dried herbs, grated cheese, olives, sundried tomatoes, finely chopped capsicums or onions or bacon or ham, etc..etc.. to the dough.. to make your own delicious bread.. It's my Partner's Birthday, and his Mum's, this weekend, so I'm cooking a special birthday for them both - and am going to make this recipe.. It sounds very good.. juliewn - 2008-09-18 01:31:00 |
| 703 | Hi Julie.. how did the bread go?? Tracey :o) jenna68 - 2008-09-20 19:02:00 |
| 704 | Hi to Julie and Tracey :-))..... bumped for bighorn08 245sam - 2008-09-22 21:35:00 |
| 705 | Hi Shirley and Tracey. :-) I hope you're both well I didn't get to make it Tracey - I think I said in my last email.. I made a special cake for Bev - Trev's Mum.. it's from an Edmonds book from the 1930's, when she was a child - and the book has a drawing of the cake in it - it's called a Carnival Cake. Bev never had a birthday cake at all when she was young, and she told me about this one.. and that she'd always just wanted a Carnival Cake for her Birthday.. and year after year it didn't happen.. I have one of the Edmonds books it's in, and I made one for her Birthday two years ago.. juliewn - 2008-09-23 23:30:00 |
| 706 | Bev cried when she saw it was the cake she'd wanted for nearly 75 years.. and I decided to make her another one this year.. when she realised what it was, I said to her.. 'when you want a special cake for your Birthday when you're young, and it doesn't happen, who says you can only have it once when you're an adult?" Big hugs from her.. The reason the bread didn't get made? I was in a rush, trying to do too many things at once.. The Carnical Cake is a sponge type recipe, and after using my electric mixer to beat together the eggs - 6 of them! - and the sugar, I decided to let the mixer do the rest instead of folding the dry ingredients in.. Not a good idea.. the sponge recipe came out like a heavy-ish cake.. and I needed to make another mix the right way, and bake that - and thankfully that worked well.. juliewn - 2008-09-23 23:31:00 |
| 707 | So no time to make the bread, as I was cooking dinner for us all at their home and needed to get over to Ohope.. Memo to me.. don't try to do too many things at once! lol.. Tracey and Shirley.. the two of you are a lovely part for me of what makes the Recipes messageboard special.. I'm glad to 'know' you both here.. :-) Hugs.. Julie.. juliewn - 2008-09-23 23:32:00 |

| 716 | Bumping for Jan2242.. and Vogel or Burgen style breads.. juliewn - 2008-10-07 03:24:00 |
| 717 | still making my handmade bread....tried putting a dish for water under bread yesturday as was getting a soft crust...apart from the loud bang when the dish warped (and after id changed my pants) the bread came out crispy.....going to find a baking stone type thing and have a go at that next...and am changing water dish for something heavier....happy breadmaking people....lol weezil - 2008-10-07 09:52:00 |
| 718 | I hope there is someone knowledgable lurking out there - we've had a bit of a thing for wraps lately, can I make them using the naan bread recipe back on page one? firefly001 - 2008-10-08 19:01:00 |
| 719 | tasti dried yeast can I use this in my breadmaker, or do I need something with improvers? many thanks.... designer_polly - 2008-10-08 19:28:00 |
| 720 | Hi Weezil.. I had to laugh at your post.. lol.. I hope your next bread making doesn't give you a fright.. juliewn - 2008-10-09 02:31:00 |
| 721 | Hi Firefly.. yes you could use the recipe... either roll the dough out to form circles or into a square or rectangle before cooking.. they'll taste very good.. juliewn - 2008-10-09 02:31:00 |
| 722 | Hi Designer.. I haven't used the Tasti yeast.. ... does the ingredients list on the side of the bottle include more than just yeast?? - if so, it probably has improvers already in the mix.. A yeast, like Surebake, that has improvers, is usually what is used in a breadmaker.. however you could use the yeast granules (sometimes called Active Yeast) that doesn't have the improvers. When using the granules, I would place the water from your recipe (use warm water) in a bowl. Add the sugar or honey from the recipe, and the yeast granules in the same quantity as for the yeast in the recipe.. stir together, cover and leave in a warm place for about 10-15 minutes, until the yeast has activated and looks frothy across the top of the liquid. Add to your breadmaker, with all the other ingredients needed, and start your breadmaker straight away.. The warm water and the sugar or honey will have activated the yeast and it will have begun working as it formed the frothy topped mix, and the recipe can be continued with from there.. Enjoy making your goodies.. :-) juliewn - 2008-10-09 02:38:00 |
| 723 | Tasti do 2 sorts of yeast there is the dried yeast which is for normal bread making and also breadmaker yeast which is for breadmakers I use it and have always found it as good as surebake yeast. (Use the same quantities too -1 teaspoon yeast per cup flour) bunny51 - 2008-10-09 09:45:00 |
| 724 | bump Must sit and read this so not going to miss it again I have put it at the top for now. wishing - 2008-10-09 12:29:00 |
| 725 | thanks all, will make another loaf tonight we made lots 3 years ago when we got the machine, put it away on moving and just got it out again and the bread is not right... but I will try the trick with the yeast. thanks designer_polly - 2008-10-09 16:57:00 |
| 726 | Hi Guys Just made my first loaf. Will catch up on all the stuff on this tread over weekend. It is just a tiny bit doughy. Any suggestions wishing - 2008-10-09 19:54:00 |
| 727 | Hi Wishing.. it may be that there was a little too much liquid in the recipe.. is it for a breadmaker or a hand made recipe.. could you post the recipe so we can help better??.. juliewn - 2008-10-09 20:08:00 |
| 728 | Just bought a breville and did the first white bread recipe. Will give details if you want. Increased tbsp by 1 tsp. Not complaining though as it is lovely. Just want perfection but considering it is my first it is great. wishing - 2008-10-09 20:11:00 |
| 729 | They say in the book mls for water is the same as gms so I weighed the water. Maybe not such a good idea wishing - 2008-10-09 20:12:00 |
| 730 | Hi.. that's great that you're enjoying your delicious bread.. isn't it a nice feeling to make bread.. :-).. I'd try measuring the water instead of weighing it.. and hopefully that will give an even better result.. Let us know how you get on.. Have a lovely weekend.. Cheers...

| 732 | Rewana or Maori bread Does anyone have a really good recipe - I have tried all the ones I have found on the net and made a bread that has risen, but it smells (and tastes) AWFUL!! An aunt gave me some of her rewana bug once to make the bread and it worked perfectly but i don't have the bug anymore....can anyone help please? the4whanau - 2008-10-11 11:03:00 |
| 733 | Found out what I did wrong Breadmaker books do say bread improver and yeast. Our bread improver is in our yeast but you need the quantity of both. i.e. 1tsp bread improver 1 3/4tsp yeast = 2 3/4tsp yeast here wishing - 2008-10-13 11:23:00 |
| 734 | That's great Wishing.. I'm sorry, I don't have the recipes for Panetone, Brioche or Rewana Bread.. hopefully someone can help.. juliewn - 2008-10-16 01:18:00 |

| 749 | I have a problem *sigh* ok so I have sucessfully made bread that rose YAY for me BUT ive made my husband really sick through making home made bread :( the yeast is to much for his ulcer and I cut right back and it didnt matter as yeast is the main thing that effects him. I have made cakes with the same flour ect and the only difference was the yeast.... so my question is ... is there a bread you can make in a bread maker without yeast? like change it to baking powder?? please and thanks for the help tarnn - 2008-11-11 11:37:00 |
