Ready for the oven. Sausage (vegetarian), potato and lentil pie(s). As usual, it was meant to be one big one but, too much was prepared.

Also going in are some chocolate chip biscuits.

I made some double chocolate cookies. Unfortunately they all got eaten before I could take a photo. Sorry.

Looks great. Can you take a pic of the inside please?


Tighter crumb, very soft texture that still springs back when pressed. Great for holding any filling and great toasted (esp with Brussels pate, as I had for lunch).

A good all-round sandwich loaf.

I prefer a tighter crumb as stuff does have a tendency to fall through the holes otherwise :laugh:

That's easy enough. I'll definitely have a crack at that. :okay:

It'll probably end up fairly similar to my "sneakily healthy loaf" where I replace part of the flour with porridge oats.

Best loaf yet.
I got a tip from someone to let the dough rise in a cold oven with a mug of just boiled water on the bottom shelf. Since I did that I've had dough that rises much better. It takes on a bit more moisture though, so is stickier than usual when you take it out and shape it for the tin.
