JOM, next Tuesday ...

It is week three of the competition and the six remaining bakers are making bread in Kent. If they found cakes and biscuits challenging, it's bread that's considered the real test of a baker's mettle.
In the shadow of Sarre Windmill, the bakers will be kneading, proving and knocking back their dough under the watchful eye of baking writer Mary Berry and master baker Paul Hollywood. And as they battle it out to produce the perfect loaf, Mel and Sue will be tasting Britain's earliest bread roll, finding out what happened to bread during the Industrial Revolution and relating the hidden history of the sandwich.
Making bread is an ancient skill. Which of the bakers will best cope with the pressure and who will be the one who has to leave the Bake Off?

I never watched this evening's programme, but it's recorded. I can't believe that we've got to page 10 and nobody has sniggered or made comment about "master bakers"  ;)

I'm trying a straightforward white  rubschin:

The wholemeal seems as dense as pumpernickel; tasty but dense  surrender:

Today 'er indoors has used the breadmaker to prepare the dough which she then extracted and made proper Chelsea Buns (with Cinnamon) which she baked in the oven. Just had them for tea. Most toothsome.

A breadmaker does certainly open one to a whole new set of culinary experiences.


SWWLTBO has her own version of Bara Brith ~ excellent when toasted and spread with butter and honey.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bara_brith for those who have not heard of it. SWWLTBO uses chopped dates rather than dried fruit in her recipe as I am not keen on "dead flies".

Today's Chelsea Buns had chopped apricots rather than currants.
