What are you baking?

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Managed to find some dried yeast in Sainsburys just now so will try some bread tomorrow. It's been about a decade since I last made bread so fingers crossed.

best not, you won't be able to knead it properly

Making bread is a piece of piss so you can't go wrong. Just make sure you have plenty of butter in to shovel the freshly-baked bread into your gob.

How do people work out when something rising/proving has doubled in size?
Will have to take a before pic next time!

It's not an exact science. If I think 'Ooh, that's much bigger' then it's ready.

Tigerish bread

I wanted to do some baking yesterday, but I'm running low on flour so I made a batch of these

Recipe: Peanut butter, oat and choc chip cookies | Sainsbury's recipes

But with chopped walnuts instead of choc chips.

They turned out well so will be making them again.

I am a stranger to baking, but while at work today, banana and pecan bread

 

[belboid]

Weird Cake 4 - made of purest green.

150g of parsley and 30 of mint to be precise. Tastes much less grassy than you might expect.

It's a retro DAB one.

From a distance it looks just like the one I bought Mrs Tag years ago, which was made in the year of her birth.

Basic loaf, bitches

 

[Saffy]

Banana and chocolate chunk cake.
I keep buying bananas and no one is eating them. I think it's just a ploy for me to make cake.

Just got a kind upside down apple sponge thing in the oven. The sponge looks a funny colour, so I may have forgotten to put something in.

My mum has that chicken.

 

[oomfoofoo]

My first loaf of bread, went really well with my beef stew

 

[oomfoofoo]

First ever Quiche Lorraine, didn't have a flan tin, so had to improvise with a cake tin! There is a lot of crust, due to the tin situation, but it was really nice even if I do say so myself!

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Small loaf (420g)

 

[Epona]

Very professional looking loaf there! Nice job

 

[hash tag]

I have never really baked before. 1hour at work today, my first attempt at tarte tatin

 

[belboid]

Another attempt at a recipe that uses less flour than it should. To be honest, there wasn’t much of a risk here as the main ingredient is still chocolate. The only question was would it be another ‘okay, but what’s the point?’ Thankfully it works out that the starchiness of the potato makes it lovely and crispy where it’s been in direct contact with the tin. A proper Bundt pan would have been better but the.... whatever you call these ones did well enough.

All in all I can heartily recommend the Chocolate-Mashed Potato Cake with Ganache

I'm going to make this later Here's how to make the best gin and tonic lemon drizzle cake — Craft Gin Club | The UK's No.1 gin club
I've got a few bottles of gin knocking about and I think the elderflower one will be the best to use for this.

Brownies

 

[Saffy]

Yum! They look good chainsawjob.
I made some scones today but didn't roll them thin enough and so they've toppled over a bit. They taste good though.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

My boy was 23 yesterday. He didn't want anything...so I made my first ever cake....

 

[Looby]

Everything looks amazing, I’m well impressed with all the bread.

Has anyone got a recipe for a good cheese scone? Really fancy some and supermarket fruit scones are ok but not cheese.

Go with the upper amount of cheese, and add more like three quarters of it to the dough. Bit more mustard, about a tsp of dried thyme, and/or some finely chopped bacon and/or onions (fried in just enough fat to stop them burning, add to dough once cooled) are good additions too.

If you're using plain flour add 3 tsp baking powder, or 2 tsp cream of tartar + 1 tsp bicarb, per ½ lb flour.

I use sour milk for scones but idk how much difference it actually makes.
