Bread Recipes

As many of you who regularly read my reviews will now be fully aware of I'm not much of a cook. These days I tend to buy foods I can simply eat on the go because I always seem to be so busy. When it comes to bread I usually buy a loaf of Warburton's and have done with it, but one thing I do know for sure is that it isn't as good as home baked stuff! A few years ago I was in a serious relationship and lived in London. My ex bought me a very expensive but fantastic bread Anthony Worrell Thompson bread-maker and for 3 years we never ever bought a loaf of bread! However I threw it out in the end after I put on 3 stone in a year through my bready addiction.... I ...  Read the complete review

I am unsure as to whether good old irish wheaten bread is readily available in England, however, being from Northern Ireland, wheaten bread is available in literally every supermarket and bakery, and in fact, most of us have been brought up with it as part of our diet.

This is a recipe for wheaten bread that has been passed down to me, and it can be added to if you desire. ...  Read the complete review

It is called mangalore buns because it originates from a place called Mangalore in south India. It is very similar to indian puris but a lot thicker and fluffier and sweeter. Its so easy to make that whenever there are some ripe bananas leftover, i make these. But you will have to keep it overnight or for 6 hours to ferment it, so the buns becomes very soft inside. It will be crispy brown outside and fluffy inside. Ingredients : Plain Flour : 2 cups or as required Overripe Banana : 1 no. Jaggery : 3-4 Tbsp. (It is unrefined sugar and is easily available in Tescos world food section or replace with any other sugar) Soda Bi Carbonate : 1/4 ...  Read the complete review

I love bread and all things bread like. My favourites breakfasts are those that consist of either toast, muffins, crumpets or of course, bagels (all of them smothered with lots of lurpak and marmite naturally!) But while bread, muffins and crumpets are all pretty cheap, bagels seem to be a little bit pricey, particularly if you consider how many you get in a pack. So I like to make my own and therefore thought I'd share the recipe with you fine people =) Ok so for these bagels you will need: 3 teaspoons dry yeast 1 tablespoon caster sugar 3 teaspoons salt 450g plain flour 125ml water 250ml warm milk 1 egg yolk 1 ...  Read the complete review
