Baking

Hi
I am going Post mad today, Anyway I am so pleased. I have just received a parcel from my mum which contains 3 pot noodles yum yum and Cadbury Choc drink. The unusual thing is she has sent me Dried Active Yeast and attached a little note saying, learn how to make bread!!.
hhmmm I can't cook to save my life (note the Pot Noodles). Can anyone help me, Got any easy bread recipes???. If you have got any it would be great as my husband and mum would be so impressed if I baked something, anything.

@BelleSparkes

Ever tried the Intermarche pot noodles?

@ ramonb

Intermarche pot noodles, no I have never tried them. Are they any good? I love Pot Noddles.

@ Andrea

Thank you For the website, I will have a peak, one other question. I am going to sound realy stupid but is baking bread hard?.

Not unless you burn it ...sorry just kidding...I'm a bit mischievious today

No, it's really easy...just keep an eye on it...those bread making machines are really cool...

Wow there are loads of breads on there, I will save it to my Fav websites.
Also noticed what is shortening?

Airy White Bread
Serving Size : 1
Categories : Abm Breads
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 cups Milk
2 teaspoons Shortening
3 cups Bread flour
1 tablespoon Sugar
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Yeast
Add ingredients to machine according to manufacturer's directions.
This is the best loaf of light, airy bread that I have made in my ABM

@ Andrea
Don't worry I am terrible at baking, my husband has never seen me bake anything. Also general cooking is a problem (he tends to do most of it). Believe it or not I got an A star at school for cookery class.

Shortening is a fat that is used for baking, like lard.

Just realised those recipies on that page are for a bread maker...I have a bread baking recipe book...I will scan some and pm them to you later.

I'm not the worlds best cook either...pretty sure my kids just suffer in silence

Thank you Andrea. My husband would be really impressed if he came home and there was fresh bread I made, instead of from the bakery.

I have saved the website maybe once I have learned to make basic bread I can use that website for ideas.

Thank you

I did once make this huge meal for Mark. Put way to much garlic in it. The next thing I know the people in the Apartment above me have opened all the windows in the hall way. I am just a disaster.

Your welcome...just in case it all goes wrong..go to the local bakers and pick up a ready made "homecooked" loaf as well...if yours doesn't turn out to good...10 mins before he comes home stick the bought one in the oven in a loaf tin on a low heat...and bobs ur uncle

Not that I have ever done that of course

I'll pm you the receipe for basic white bread in a mo.

Nope, but I will now. Forgot how nice pot noodles taste, yummy scrummy.

Will eat one specially on behalf of the britboard and tell you about it, if it tastes as good as the picture could save you some postage.

@ ramonb

Please try and tell us what they are like. I am going to eat one of my pot noodles now!! I will be thinking of you while I am in heaven!!. yum yum yum

@ Andrea

Thank you, that is a good idea. I have done it before when making a romantic meal. I went to the local supermarket and picked up ready made meals and heated them in the micro and told my husband I had made them.

Cheers to you both. Looking forward to the report on Pot noodles and the recipes.

I have to leave I have a pot noodle calling my name and cleaning to do!!
Speak soon

I have to pass Intermache tonight, I will grab a few different of varieties and eat one tonight, then the "eat 'n' tell story" will be over the britboard tomorrow.

What flavour are you going to eat? I want one!
