I made some Ultra Flapjacks on Friday for a race yesterday - they loved them and we ran out before all the runners were through the CP.

JenL asked about the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day thing - no I haven't tried it but it looks interesting. I have frozen pizza dough for a few days and it turned out OK. Although if I know I will be making bread later I start a 'sponge' in the morning and finish the bread later - the sponge bit is all the water, yeast and half the flour stirred up and left all day/night and then the rest of the flour and salt is added and everything finished the standard Dan Lepard way with 3 quick kneads and two rises. Yesterday I did the Hairy Biker's provencal bread wp.me and they recommend leaving the 'sponge' in the fridge overnight, I can't wait that long so it was just sitting about all day until I got round to it, and then finished with Dan Lepard 3 quick kneads and the rising recommended by the Hairy Biker's. And it makes ginormous soft loaves. I left out the herbs because it was dark and I couldn't be bothered to go out and find them in the garden with a torch, but left in the fennel seeds this time. Eating now with cheese and homemade pickle. Nom Nom! |
