The bakers' thread

Yeah - I wouldn’t have bought them myself but they are a fun present.
Al got a Danish cook book so we just had them with home made gravlax

 

[Reynard]

I make gravlax too, but using the Hairy Bikers' recipe from their 12 days of Christmas book. OK, gravlax is for life, not just for Christmas LOL! Actually got half a side of salmon (another YS acquisition) curing in the fridge at the moment. Because I ran out of freezer space...

I'm not much of a baker but I had a lot of Stilton to use up after Christmas so I made this Stilton and prosciutto scone. (It's one round cut into 8 individual ones and separated, but they kind of loosely join back up in the oven).
Very tasty.

Ummm, leftover cheese? What's that?

Actually, that looks rather lovely @CanucksTraveller - would be lovely buttered, served on the side of a nice bowl of soup.

Thank you Reynard! I have no plans for soup but I do have plans for butter.

You wouldn't believe the amount of cheese left over, someone bought too many varieties.

Ummm, guilty as charged, your honour. You should see my fridge then...

When I made sourdough last weekend I was a bit short on starter. Last night I deliberately over fed the starter….

I think it's developed language skills...

Failing that, waffles!

Barbari to go with ash-e-reshteh tonight.

Naan breads to go with curry. Plain naans for the family and my first go at a peshwari naan for me. 9/10, a few thoughts about tweaks but generally pretty decent.

 

[Reynard]

I usually do garlic naans, but I really DO like peshwari ones... Must have a go the next time I do a curry...

Can someone help please my wife gave me a 2.25kg Pullman pan with a lid for Christmas. I’m going to make Bake with Jack tin loaf recipe, that is a recipes to make two loaves if I keep it as one to use with the Pullman pan I know it’s not quite enough dough. How long would I bake it for as the loaf is double the size. Or does anyone have a recipe for a 2.25kg loaf?

Are you sure it’s a 2.25kg tin? That would bake an enormous loaf!

Can you post the external dimensions of its HxWxD? My pullman tin (a 2lb tin) is 11cm x 11.5cm x 20.5cm and makes a standard loaf, typically using around 450g flour and 300ml water. When I use that Jack Sturgess recipe for two smaller loafs, I use my two 1lb tins.

40cm long 15cm x 15cm it’s huge. It’s from Bakery Bits Pullman Pan 15 x 15
