Meanwhile in a galaxy far from here...
I have been struggling to work out why my bread maker was making loaves that rose more at one end than the other.
I tried turning it round in case the wall facing side was in less draught.
Dumped one batch of instant yeast.
Changed flours several times.
Polished the inside of my bread making pan.
All to no avail.
So I decided to buy a new machine and elected to go for the brand new Panasonic which has separate yeast compartment and can specifically programme for sour dough, can't go for the Croustina models from the range as much of the time I use the fruit and nut dispenser.
Only problem is no stock of any anywhere since there is some kind of lockdown.
Anyway today I went back to basics and made a milk loaf from the original instruction book recipe.
The only slight tweak was to take care distributing the ingredints and pour in the milk gently whilst using 50% Strong flour cut with 50% Canadian extra strong..........
Best looking loaf of mine I can recall.
I will update once sliced for this evenings Roast Pork with stuffing sandwiches.
