Beautiful bread Bob! Home made bread is a bit of a passion of mine. In fact anything leavened... Hot cross buns, English muffins, pizza, focaccia. Do you bake for a living Bob? Those tin loaves especially look proper pro!

Hi Mike thank you for your comments! no I don't bake for a living but I always do my best to perfect anything I make or do.
Maybe you will post some photos of your bread
Regards Bob.

I would Bob but haven't made any for a while. I used to make a loaf a week but my other half Cat has been baking at an artisan bakery in Leamington for over a year and we get as much free sourdough and cake as we can eat. Which is great but obviously I don't do much these days.

My favourite white bread recipe though is as follows.

1kg strong bread flour
600ml tepid water
20g salt
10g dried yeast
1tsp sugar (optional but I add it for the yeast to feed off)
1 tbsp vegetable fat or butter or oil.
Shaped into a bloomer and slashed diagonally. - you know rest! :-)

Continuing the thread  Bob and Mike,have tried baking Sheermal(milk bread)?I haven't tried it,but it looks interesting.
Recipe:450g plain flour.
1tsp baking powder
1tsp salt
1tbsp sugar
175g,ghee or unsalted butter melted
100ml single cream
200ml warm milk
1tsp saffron strands,pounded
1 tbsp shahi jeera(royal cumin)
Ex flour for dusting

Method

Put flour,baking powder,salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl and mix well,add half the melted ghee or butter and work in.Work in the cream.Reserve 4tbsp of the milk.Add remainder of flour knead until dough is formed.
Transfer dough to board and add remaining melted fat,knead until smooth and soft and does not stick to board.
Cover dough with damp cloth and set aside for 30mins.Meanwhile preheat oven to 220Deg c(gas Mark7.bring reserved milk to boil add saffron strands,stir well and set aside.Line baking tray with hardworking paper.

Divide dough in half and make four balls out of each half.Flatten cake to a round cake,dust and rollout to a disc about 8ins in diameter.Lifting baking tray,brush with saffron milk and sprinkle with the shahee jeera.Bake in top of the oven for 7-8 mins.

Hope this makes sense to you.They look golden and very moreish,usually eaten with chicken dishes  Geoffbrick
