Sorry, I don&#39;t get what&#39;s green about that. Before it&#39;s baked, yeast, and therefore bread dough, is a living thing. You need to work with it to know what it needs. You won&#39;t get that by just putting a bunch of ingredients into a machine. I think if you want good bread, you need to knead the dough yourself, that way you&#39;ll get a feel for the consistency, the gluten level, the texture. With a bread machine you give away the best part of bread making-- the opportunity to control the process and let it be what you want it to be. -- Still your bread looks nice. I hope you are enjoying it.Speechlesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01778909974109452078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958226361442378006.post-27148466906868047482010-01-10T10:31:05.335+11:002010-01-10T10:31:05.335+11:00nice bread recipe...thanks for sharing!jaz@octoberfarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958226361442378006.post-91823804540695673732010-01-09T19:02:30.011+11:002010-01-09T19:02:30.011+11:00Cool Gav, you have your own bakery.GreenerMehttp://www.greenerme.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958226361442378006.post-31839030734624105572010-01-09T11:45:38.680+11:002010-01-09T11:45:38.680+11:00Hi Gav,<br />I made bread two days ago in similar weather, and it was also stickier than normal and the resultant loaves were flat-ish like yours. The humidity plays havoc with bread-making! I will be adding less water to the dough next time I do it on a cooler day, and letting it rise for much longer.<br /><br />Still better than the bought stuff though, hey?Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05380570737780717931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958226361442378006.post-30665871793526859362010-01-08T22:36:54.057+11:002010-01-08T22:36:54.057+11:00What beautiful looking bread. Kim is lucky to get mist of it into the freezer before everyone else realized such yumminess was nearby and fresh.<br /><br />I checked out the 100 mile circle around me - it contains wonderful fresh food including a realy good flour mill. This method could be dangerous for me and my already lack of waistline!<br /><br />I&#39;m finding &quot;no knead&quot; bread methods useful and even bake the dough as an ordinary loaf in a tin (rather than in a heated dutch oven).<br /><br />Hope teh heat isn&#39;t too high - the same El Nino is giving Wellington cooler temps then our usual (cool to you)summer ones and gale force wind over and over again.<br /><br />Kim&#39;s bread + Gavin&#39;s cheese = expected foodie joy for you allMickle in NZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958226361442378006.post-31021435351456622502010-01-08T20:19:44.191+11:002010-01-08T20:19:44.191+11:00Hi Gavin, It is some time since I visited your blog but I,m going to give it a thorough going over , I,ve decided this year I,m going to be so careful, I have never used my breadmaker for making dough .
