I’m like an auld house wife

Sorry about the mess, this is the recipe, it is unbelievable

@Horsebox, the suggestions above are perfect but natural yogurt is the best substitute IMO

These puppies about to come out of the oven

I’m a dab hand at the oul porridge bread but want to try a few more bits given the times.

Did a lemon meringue pie yesterday. Twas only gorgeous.

Horsebox · March 18, 2020, 7:11pm

Correct. In more than one sense.

I would always make a brown health loaf with normal milk

artfoley · March 18, 2020, 8:26pm

Did my first load of flap jacks today. The breadmaking will have to wait til I’m WFH

I’m no paul Hollywood but the consistency of golden brown colours would make one assume the recipe was on point

artfoley · March 18, 2020, 8:33pm

More luck than judgement. I’ve no scales so I was guesstimating every ingredient except the butter

Dubhub · March 18, 2020, 8:35pm

Scales are for losers real bakers guestimate. Sure Donald Sheehan has been doing it for years

Very simple …tho rose a bit more than I expected.

Had a few cuts there with some home made carrot and sweet potato soup the mrs made.

Thomas_Brady · March 19, 2020, 3:12pm

Fresh granola just made there also.

Tassotti · March 19, 2020, 5:15pm

I made a griddle cake last night. I had to make homemade buttermilk first, that trick with the lemon is brilliant. It came out savage. I picked up 7kg of flour today, that will keep me in bread for a good few days

Thomas_Brady · March 19, 2020, 5:34pm

There’s lads here still living off take away food… I dont know what they’ll do when everything is closed down.

backinatracksuit · March 29, 2020, 2:42pm

Chanced making some focaccia

Really good, like the very best garlic bread that you’d get

carryharry · March 29, 2020, 4:01pm

Not a terribly good rise but very tasty with a knob of COLD real butter.

tallback · March 29, 2020, 4:06pm

That looks great. I’ve made it before and I’d agree it’s very very tasty and easier than people would think.

Did you use strong flour?

backinatracksuit · March 29, 2020, 4:10pm

It’s impossible to pick up strong flour at the moment, one of the things that’s sold out, I picked up 4 bags of this last week in Lidl, even better

First effort at soda bread for a good decade, appearance a bit irregular but smells divine. Fired an egg and a small bit of orange zest into it.
