It's bread, Jim but not as we know it.

Advantages: No scary chemicals in and it tastes like angels tripping over your tongue
Disadvantages: No real instructions, has to be made by the seat of the pants, it takes ages and you, your kitchen and everything else will be covered in flour and congealed dough.

I am one of those pathetic people who is allergic to lots of things... not really allergic enough to get up tight about but allergic nonetheless. High on the list of loved but banned foods is bread, or at least until recently. For year's I've been able to go home to the Sweary nest and eat truckloads of Mrs Sweary senior's home made bread but the minute I buy any round here Captain Acid comes to call and I end up chugging Rennies like there's no ...
...it was the chemicals they put in modern bread. I mean, what's in bread? Well I'd guess wheat, water, yeast salt and maybe vegatable oil right?

Nope. A reasonably decent brand of white bread also contains:

Soya Flour
Preservative
Calcium Propionate (added to inhibit mould growth)
Emulsifiers, E481, E471, E472e or Sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate, Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids
and Mono- ... more

Bananas too ripe? Banana Bread is the answer!

Advantages: Uses up bananas that you would otherwise throw out
Disadvantages: It tastes best fresh, so you have to eat it quickly!

This has always been a problem in our house - not a big one, obviously, but you know the situation. You buy fruit (bananas in particular), and then realise a week later that they've started to turn too ripe and no-one will eat them. The usual solution is to throw them in the bin, and then repeat the same thing next week. Not anymore. Now you have a solution to the problem - which tastes great too. That solution is... Banana Bread. I first saw this ...
...my dad insisted we try it and have been making it quite frequently ever since! In my opinion, Banana Bread tastes more like a cake, but it is actually classed as a bread. When I got my uncle to try it a few weeks ago, he said it had the same kind of texture as bread pudding - so it must be right! It tastes great sliced with some butter spread on top with a nice cup of tea. But enough of my chatter, here's the recipe: ♦ Banana Bread ♦ ...

Bread in a hurry.

Advantages: no yeast, tasty versatile, inexpensive.
Disadvantages: it doesn't last long.

Can bread without yeast really be this tasty ? The answer of course is yes.! Quick to make, cheap to put together, and gone......... faster than the 45 minutes it takes to bake ! Many years ago , (when cooking was as alien to me as walking the Queen's corgi's would be to me today ) whilst browseing through various cook books I found a "gem" of a recipe book. The Woman's Weekly "Cook's Treasury" priced at a modest 70p . (An IPC magazine's publication. ...
...from bread through to curry. It boasts over "300 tried and tested recipes." Most impressive. Little did I know what a "godsend" I had purchased. Over the years, (my cooking skills vastly improved ) this recipe book has repeatedly come to my rescue. I would like to take this opportunity to share a recently re-discovered recipe. The recipe if for a savoury loaf. It is quick and easily prepared, the ingreediants found in any well stocked kitchen. A ...

Home-made buns

Advantages: delicious, you know what it contains, cheap
Disadvantages: you have to work with it and in case your family sticks to it, it means continuous work

We will have a garden party next weekend and I decided to bake home-made buns. I wanted to try the recipe before the party. Since the first trial we don't eat bread just buns. They are so delicious! Here is the recipe and the description. I highly recommend! Shopping list: - 2 tablespoon milk powder - 2 tablespoon butter - 1 egg - 2 teaspoon salt - 1 tablespoon sugar - 550 g plain flour - 7 g instant yeast Equipment: - Bread maker (if you don't have ...
...board or clean flat surface - Non-stick baking tin Dough: I drop all the ingredients in our bread maker to knead the dough. If you don't have one, put the ingredients in a large bowl and knead it for 15 minutes at least. So the ingredients for the dough in the order you should put them in the bread maker: - 250 ml lukewarm water - 2 tablespoon milk powder - 2 tablespoon butter - 1 egg - 2 teaspoon salt - 1 tablespoon sugar - 550 g plain flour - 7 ...

you wont cheat on me tonight, bread

Advantages: tastes great
Disadvantages: you can get a bit messy

Lots of books and recipes make bread sound a lot harder to make than it is, and some of the recipes are hit and miss as to weather it works or not, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve ended up with a stodgy unrisen mess in the bottom of my bread tin. However this is a recipe that I’ve adapted through trial and error and now is pretty much full proof. You will need 300gm flour plain or whole meal which ever you prefer 150ml room temperature ...
...fat, butter or margarine 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt 1 onion 1 bulb of garlic 5-10 olives Take your flour and make a well shape with it on your worktop put the yeast, sugar and salt into the hollow then pour the water in. gently mix the water into the flour and other dried imprudence by using your finger tips in a circular movement slowly moving outwards. This will turn in to a dry floury mix at this point you add the butter, once that’s mixed in ...

Garlic, cheese and herb bread recipie

Advantages: Quick and easy
Disadvantages: Fat content!

For those who routinely buy sticks of garlic bread from supermarkets only to be disspointed by the dryness of the bread and sometimes even the distinct lack of much garlic taste then have a go at making your own! And why not add a few extras for that extra yumminess! When it comes to the garlic butter I do not use specific amounts, simply guess what the right amount is, if its too little its easy to add more and if its too much, well its not expensive ...
...Bread stick! (about 15") Butter (NZ Anchour butter is excellent) Three good sized garlic gloves Finely grated cheese ( I use mature cheddar) Fresh parsley, coriander, or chives. METHOD: I use a standard bread stick from Sainsburys, but cut it in half to fit in the oven. Using a sharp serrated knife, (non serrated ones end up squashing the bread before it cuts it!) cut through the bread stick in about 1" intervals to a depth almost all the way ...

ANOTHER HOT WEATHER RECIPE - BROWN BREAD ICE CREAM

Advantages: Quite a sophisticated ice cream - suitable for all occassions
Disadvantages: Can't really be used straight from the freezer

Believe it or not this recipe was given to me by my son (both he and his girlfriend ADORE ice cream). They describe the texture as probably not like real ice cream, more like frozen fluffy cream. But I personally am more interested in the flavour - which is gorgeously creamy, caramelly, nutty and moreish. It's probably not for the those who are calorie counting - but a little bit of what you like does you good! Enough waffle, on to the......... RECIPE 3oz/85g wholemeal or granary breadcrumbs (use stale bread and a cheesegrater) 2oz/55g granulated sugar 3 tablespoons water 3/4 pint/425ml double cream, whipped with 3oz/85g icing sugar 1/2 teaspoon best quality vanilla extract Toast the breadcrumbs until they are evenly toasted. Put the granulated sugar and water in a heavy based saucepan over heat ...

its called bread but it is more of a cake really

Advantages: So very easy you wont belive it.
Disadvantages: none.

Now here?s an easy and quickie. One of my favourites. Tea Bread. This recipe is so easy there?s not even any weighing involved. No creaming or kneading. All you need is. 1loaf tin. Preheat oven to gas mark 4. ? elec 350. Into a mixing bowl put: - 2 cups of self-raising flour. ¾ cup of sugar. ¾ cup of mixed fruit. (or any thing you like) ¼ tea spoon salt. 1 egg. 1 cup of water or milk. Simply stir them all together well and leave to stand for 20 minutes. Stir it all up again. Turn into loaf tin and bake. You do not need to be exact with the measures for this. Have fun playing around with different fruit, choc-chips, or any thing you like to put in it. Mixed cut peel is very nice, or just add the juice and zest of a orange or lemon. This loaf is very much like a fruited tea cake to taste. It is really ...

Advantages: Makes you hungry
Disadvantages: You may find it boring

Ingredients ------------ Pasta - any shape or kind Tinned chopped tomatoes Courgette - diced Mushroom - sliced Sweetcorn - tinned or frozen onion - chopped finely any other veg you fancy Mixed herbs Boil the pasta to the instructions on the packet.

Simmer together for about 5 minutes or until hot enough for you! Mix well! Serve each portion onto a plate or bowl and serve with salad and garlic bread.
