3/ For a crisper crust, place the rolls or bread on a cake cooling rack once they're cooked, and don't cover with anything. Hope this helps.. Enjoy the delicious goodies you've created.. Cheers.. Julie

Hi Chab.. Hopefully I have it correctly that Scrolls are also called Pinwheels.... When making Pinwheels I find the following works well: Make your favourite scone dough.. roll out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Have the long side of the dough facing you.

juliewn - 2007-11-21 22:36:00
311

For a savoury filling: Spread a layer of marmite or vegemite over the surface - leaving a strip about a 1"/ 2.5cm wide strip along the long side furthest from you. Brush that side with milk or water, so it will stick that end to the roll as you finish rolling it up. Spread a layer of any other ingredients over the marmite - chopped onion or capsicum, chopped bacon or ham, grated cheese, slices of tomato, etc..etc.. Roll up firmly, using the furthest edge to press it against the roll to seal it. Cut into rolls of the thickness you prefer - and lay each scroll on a baking paper lined biscuit tray. Bake at 230°C till golden - and enjoy..

For a sweet option.. Caramel Pinwheels.. once you've rolled out the dough, spread it evenly with the following: 100gms butter, 1 cup brown sugar and a cup of sultana's or raisins or currants. You could leave the butter out if you want, and sprinkle the brown sugar and dried fruit over the dough. Roll up and bake as above... and enjoy yummy Caramel Pinwheels... I hope these help..

Wish me luck... I have just put the ingredients in the breadmaker and set it on delay start to be ready at 6am - I'm so nervous as I've never tried it overnight before. I'm wondering if my kitchen will get too cold and how it works as by the time it starts the tepid water will be cold. I've finally got the knack of the machine now after being frustrated for months. Turns out that the instruction book which was in Aussie measurements was really wrong. Not just the tbls which I was aware of but the yeast was a totally different amount to the NZ recipe!

Hi Cliff.. hope you woke to the deliciously fragrant smell of your bread cooking.. what a way to start a day! Yummm!

The bread was lovely only problem I didn't think about the kitchen being next to the kids room so woke at 6am to hear Mr 2.5 in his cot going beep beep beep beep beep!!!

Protea77 asked in another thread for pull-apart type bread recipes.. I'm including the info. here also - for share and tear type bread, make your preferred recipe, then shape the dough to make the shape's you want.. ie.. small balls (remember they'll double in size during proving), Place the balls close together, so they're touching, on a baking paper lined oven tray - in whatever shape you want - oval, circle, long strip etc.. Cover and leave to rise as per the recipe.. and once doubled in size, bake as per the recipe. This works well - you can also brush the tops with milk and sprinkle over some grated cheese, herbs, seeds, olive slices etc..

juliewn - 2007-12-10 00:15:00

And this is what I call Celebration Bread.. I've made these many times over the years.. shape pieces of dough as above. Place them on a baking paper lined tray, in the shape you want for the celebration the bread will be used for. ie.. you can use the initial's of a person whose birthday party the bread is for. The initial's of two people getting married. The initial's of a baby - for a party to celebrate his/her birth. etc..etc.. I made one recently - the daughter of one of my closest friend's got married in England. We had a little "Wedding Party" here in NZ -On top of the baking paper on the tray, I made a large 'C' for his first name - and set inside that, and against the curve of the C, I placed another C shape, with a short piece coming downward for a 'G'- so the bread showed as her initial inside his initial. At dinner, we all pulled rolls off the shape - part of the sharing of the occasion..

For my Son's 21st, I made a large '2' on one baking tray, and a '1'on another tray.. and baked one tray at a time, and I had the '21' on a large cloth covered piece of board, as part of dinner for his party. The cloth was made many years ago by his Nanna - so was a way of bringing something special from her into the occasion.. and shared by all of us there..

Hi Juliewn I made you bread recipe the other day and so easy. The only problem was I took my eye of it for a second and the rolls burnt on the outside and the bread just on the top but the middle was really good. Will try again and keep my eye on the over - do you use fan bake or a normal bake? I found hubby in the kitchen yesterday cutting the burnt bread rolls in half - asked what he was doing and he said he was making it easier for the birds so they dont break their beaks........and proceeded to throw them out for the birds. hhmmmmmm - lucky I have a good sense of humour.

Turkish Pide Bread
Ingredients: 4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup warm water 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour 3 1/2 cups bread flour 1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon lukewarm water 2 eggs, lightly beaten Nigella seeds and/or sesame seeds

sam924 - 2007-12-12 12:31:00
335

Method for.... Pide Bread.
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let stand in a warm place for 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in the flour, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise 30 minutes. To finish the dough, put the flour in a large bowl, made a well in the center, and put in the sponge, salt, olive oil, and lukewarm water. Gradually work in the flour to make a soft and sticky dough.

Khoubiz- Pita Bread.
Servings: 8 loaves Ingredients: 1/2 ounce active dry yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 2 1/2 cups warm water 8 cups plain flour 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons oil Instructions:

continue with pita bread... continue with pita bread...
Instructions: Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of the lukewarm water. Stir in the sugar. Set aside in a warm place. Leave it until it begins to rise up and foam. This will take about 15 minutes. Sift the salt and flour together into a large, warm mixing bowl.. Form a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the yeast into the center. Gently mix the yeast into the flour. Mix by hand, adding small amounts of warm water if necessary.

sam924 - 2007-12-12 12:34:00

continue with pita bread.. continue with pita bread..
Divide into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. On the floured board flatten each ball and roll with a heavy rolling pin into flat round shapes approximately 1/4 inch or 6mm thick. They should be about 12 inches in diameter. Place the flattened bread rounds on a lightly floured cloth. Cover this with another floured cloth set in a warm spot to rise again to double their size. This should take about 30 minutes. Pre heat the baking tray in the oven for 5 minutes. Carefully rub the tray with oil. Place one round at a time on the baking tray. Cook 5 - 9 minutes. The bread should swell in the middle and become a light brown in color. Remove from the oven and wrap in a clean cloth to keep moist. The swelling will disappear when the bread is removed from the oven. Continue this procedure with the remaining rounds.

Hi Pixie.. I'm currently using an oven that doesn't have a fan - and when using one with a fan, I use the same temperature - just keep watch on the bread or rolls - once they start to show a light brown colour, check them with a skewer to see if they are cooked - to do this, I put the skewer in from the side where it's less brown, rather than from the top, as you would do when checking whether a cake is cooked. Enjoy your goodies.. :-)

juliewn - 2007-12-13 23:18:00

Hi Bajan.. I'm glad you're enjoying the recipes everyone has posted in the thread - and all the other threads too.. isn't this recipe message board awesome.. :-) That's a great idea about adding yoghurt - you could substitute your favourite yoghurt as part of the liquid in a recipe. If there are 2 cups of luke warm water in a recipe, I'd try placing say 1/2 cup of yoghurt in a measuring jug, and add hot tap water a little at a time, and cold water if needed, to give 2 cups of yoghurt/water mix that is luke warm in temperature. Make your bread/rolls as per the recipe - you may need to use a little less flour perhaps, as the actual water quantity is less and the yoghurt has a different texture. Using a plain yoghurt in this way would probably be very good when making a savoury type of bread with herbs added.. as it would enhance the flavour of the bread.. Hope this helps.. Cheers.. Julie

Anyone have pumpkin Bread Recipe? PLEASE??? I just got myself a breadmaker yesterday (a Xmas pressie to myself) and was gutted when going through the book it didn't have this recipe. Too lazy to go through all 7 pages of this thread to see if anyone has posted a pumpkin recipe. Thanks in advance

targa2 - 2007-12-17 12:38:00
348

Hi Targa.. here's a quick way to look for a recipe or a thread.. ps.. a quick way to look for a recipe or thread:
Have the messageboard on your screen - or the bread thread open, etc.. On the lower left of your keyboard, hold down the control (Ctrl) key, and at the same time press the letter "F". A box will pop up. Type a word you're looking for - ie "pumpkin" and click next.. and again.. until you find what you're looking for.. or until you've found all the threads or posts with that word in. Not on that page? Go to the next one and repeat.. makes it easy to find any thread or posts in a thread that you're looking for.. Cheers..
