We haven't bought shop bread for years. If I had to make it by hand every time we wanted bread then I'd never get round to it. Hand baked bread only happens on Sunday and only then if no other baking is occuring.
Anyone have a recipe for moist hot cross buns? Mr Wench told me yesterday that mine are like cannon balls. sad32:

Recipe for Hot Buttered Crumbs (Hot Crossed Buns) I now hand over to SWWLTBO who will type her recipe.
You need 250ml of room temperature water, about 50 gramms of butter (unsalted is good but not entirely necessary), a pinch of salt, 440gramms of strong white bread flour, a sachet of yeast, 50gramms of mixed dried fruit and a teaspoon of mixed spices. Put the whole lot into the breadmaker on "Dough". When it is mixed, divide the dough up into buns and glaze them with a sugar and water glaze. Add the pastry cross and it will stick to the glaze. Bake them in a hot oven for about 10minutes or so, until they are cooked. They are really good especially hot from the oven with too much butter and a cup of extra chocolatey hot chocolate with cream on top. Enjoy!!
Alternatively Snoopy's recipe for Hot Cross Bunnies is to pour a kettle of boiling water down their warren
PS: Mixed peel is an optional extra that we don't like or use in the buns.

I have informed the kitchen staff and it has been
decided decreed that the matter will be put on hold pending further and better particulars.

No, definitely... it is all correct now! cloud9:

Wise choice. I was going to give it a whirl at the weekend but think I may fall back on the quick soda bread for the weekend instead.
And how big is a desertspoon exactly?

And he didn't say heaped or level spoonsful either ~ too much guesswork involved here. Sounds much more like my sort of recipe. "take one metric handful of flour and a splosh of wine etc"

Nope ~ told you yesterday that no bread would be made until today. It is breakfast time here in the UK ~ bread making will be done this evening ~ in fact we usually put the bread maker on a timer setting when we go to bed so that it will be fresh in the morning. We did not need bread this morning ~ told you this yesterday ~ as we had enough.

Wot? The Bread? ~ Pukester sick2: In my opinion.
The children took one sniff and refused to try it. Mrs S#2 and I had some but frankly we didn't much like it. The honey makes it quite "sticky" and the basil needs something to balance it. I have suggested Sun Dried Tomatoes (as per a very similar bread recipe by Jamie Oliver) but BM won't hear of it.
But perhaps you will like it, everyone likes different things .............. unfortunately BM is in denial about the differences in people's tastes (Or perhaps won't admit that he has "adapted" one of Mr Oliver's recipes).
Add the SDT, reduce the honey and it would be quite good as a savoury bread with soup. But what do I know? ~ I'm the only one here who has worked in a professional kitchen as a chef (as far as I know that is).
-
It's not that bad is it eeek:
It is delicious, you'll love it...
Snoopy won't accept that he might have messed up is all.... noooo:
Still, I bow to his obviously superior knowledge of all matters related to cooking and plumbing - what do I know about anything...? Shrugs:
-
As long as you enjoy the bread that's all that matters.
I shall try some when I visit and will include this in the culinary section of my travelblog. Soon to be published in 12 parts, the 1st publication at a special introductory offer of £1.99 with a free toy goat lol:

Wot? The Bread? ~ Pukester sick2: In my opinion.
The children took one sniff and refused to try it. Mrs S#2 and I had some but frankly we didn't much like it. The honey makes it quite "sticky" and the basil needs something to balance it. I have suggested Sun Dried Tomatoes (as per a very similar bread recipe by Jamie Oliver) but BM won't hear of it.
But perhaps you will like it, everyone likes different things .............. unfortunately BM is in denial about the differences in people's tastes (Or perhaps won't admit that he has "adapted" one of Mr Oliver's recipes).
Add the SDT, reduce the honey and it would be quite good as a savoury bread with soup. But what do I know? ~ I'm the only one here who has worked in a professional kitchen as a chef (as far as I know that is).
Nope hound, you are just the elder and more experienced of the 2 of us. I got into the trade by accident and was trained up 'traditionally' by a chef who was taught the same way when he worked at the Dorchester years back "None of this college malarky, you learn more by doing".
Great fun, but I realised after working in a couple of hotels and restaurants that I don't have anywhere near the tolerance for alcohol I'd need to keep going down here.
I agree with you about the SDT though, why not make a batch and let your Nick and Growler try some. I can't see Growler sugar coating his critique if he doesnt like it.

Back in the Swinging Sixties, Michael Caine is holding a big show biz party in his swanky new house.
Everyone who's anyone is there, top stars from the worlds of movies and Music, fashion and art.
There's a constant feed of pints, the best wines that money can buy,Oysters, champagne.
Lennon and McCartney are helping themselves at the bar.
Jim Morrison and his band are sitting on the couch singing "Light My Fire"
Over in the corner George Peppard is getting very pally with Sophia Loren.
All's going really well, until Jim Morrison decides he's bored out of his skull, and wants to go home for an early night curled up with a good book.
Oi, Jim," objects Michael Caine, "the party's just got started. How's about I get one of 'the ladies' to take you into the spare bedroom for a bit of the 'how's yer father?'"
"Fair play," nods Jim [well that's not his exact words, but you get the idea], "As long as she does the rest of the band, too."
"Not a problem, Jim," smiles Michael, as he pulls a young dolly bird in close and whispers some instructions in her ear.
Half an hour later, the young lass is just wiping her chin, when in walks Ringo Starr from the Beatles.
"All right, luv?" he drones, "don't suppose you fancy extending that service To me, do you?"
The young woman thinks about this for a second, then says "What the hell!" And proceeds to unzip Ringo's fly and get to work on the BJ.
Ringo's having a grand time, until, mere moments before the end, the door opens and Michael Caine bursts in.
He grabs the young girl by the back of the hair and slaps her hard across the face!
"Wh-what the hell was that for?" she whimpers.
"I told you," Caine snarls. "You're only supposed to blow the bloody Doors Off..."

If the smell while it's baking is anything to go by this could end up beating BM's bread into second place.. Drool:
Given that instead of following the destructions I've just halved the ingredients apart from the chorizo and bunged it all into a breadmaker it could also go horribly wrong... scared2:
Here is the actual recipe I was given:
Beaujolais Chorizo Bread
For the Starter
1 3⁄4 cups (9 3⁄4 oz.) bread flour
1 pinch active dry yeast
3⁄4 tsp. kosher salt
For the Bread
1 2⁄3 cups (13 1⁄2 oz.) beaujolais
1 tbsp. active dry yeast
1 tbsp. kosher salt
4 cups plus 2 tbsp. (1 lb. 6 oz.) bread flour
9 oz. cured chorizo, finely chopped
Make the starter: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and 2⁄3 cup water. Mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms, about 2 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature for four 4 hours.
Make the bread: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine 2 1⁄2 oz. (about 1⁄4 cup) of the starter with the beaujolais, yeast, and salt. Stir until smooth. Add flour and mix on low speed until the dough forms. Increase speed to medium and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo and knead for 5 minutes more. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand until dough is doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Uncover the dough, divide into 2 balls (about 1 1⁄2 lbs. each), and shape each into an 11-inch-long, 3-inch-wide log with tapered ends, placing the seam side facing up. Transfer each to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and let stand until dough springs back lightly when touched, about 1 1⁄2 hours.
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and another rack on the bottom, and heat the oven to 400°. Place a small metal pan on the lower rack and pour in 1 cup boiling water; then place the bread loaves on the upper rack and bake until crust is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer loaves to a rack and let cool to room temperature before serving.

It's salt that hasn't used iodine in the production and has larger crystals. It's used more in salting meat but because of the larger crystal size its harder to oversalt a recipe. Plus it tastes better. Thumbs:

Why does Yahweh hate iodine? rubschin:

It alters the flavour... ::)
I only started using it as an experiment after watching some of the Binging With Babbish Youtube videos.
