:oops: I'm so disappointed, I'm a complete failure when it comes to making bread :oops:

For 20+ years I've been trying, and have never made a loaf that I'd say was good enough to make again.

I even tried this one :x :x It never even made it to the oven, it rose about 1/4 inch after two hours....

I so want to be able to bake an every day loaf :?

Cheers

Hey Porker
here is the link to Wheels' site.
http://www.localfoodheroes.co.uk/weblog ... =my_weblog

Follow it EXACTLY...really you cannot go wrong with this . However, for my preferance, I added 2 sachets of dried yeast to this recipe and always do, so perhaps you could try this.
Keep trying it is the perfect bread roll recipe.

What flour are you using? I love the Lidl stuff at just 48p a bag! I have heard that the quality of some bread flour isnt great right now due to the poor weather we have been having.... just something to think about?

I agree with you Shirl regarding the Lidl bread flour, I think its great I use it all the time for my bread.
Also its half the cost of Strong bread flour.

A very important tip
When proving for both times, I ALWAYS put the bread ball and then the individual rolls (on a baking sheet)into a plastic bag, like a bin liner, to rise. This will ensure a perfect rise as it creates a nice warm area in the bag for the fermenting to take place.
Try this and it will work for you. I NEVER leave my bread out to prove uncovered.

Thanks for the support :)

The flour wouldn't have been fresh thats for sure ... you're too kind blaming the weather for me ...

I set mine in the baking bowl and it goes on top of the Aga or in the hotpress if I feel its too cold in the kitchen.

I will put it in a bag next time :)

wallie ... I have a look at that flour for my next baking session

Cheers

I don't know if you've noticed but we have a dedicated bread making section now. Apart from people enthusing about Phil's recipe :lol: you will also see recommendations to use flour improvers, which I can also highly recommend as well.

Porker,

I use wheels recipe too, it really is the best I have come across. I put my loaf in a large bowl covered with a tea towel and it goes in the bottom oven (cool) on the Rayburn with the door slightly ajar and always rises nicely! I use the bread improver from Kitchen Foods too.

It is really easy to do & I never buy supermarket bread now - even made bagels on saturday and covered them, with poppy seeds!! (they were to go with the smoked salmon from earlier in the week)
Cheers,


Mike
