Notes about Recipes in this book

• Soft or crusty rolls

  • ebs on November 26, 2020

    These were excellent rolls. I chose the soft option which were to be baked at the higher temp (450 F) and they took about 9 minutes. They were perfect!

    These were extremely easy, went for the crusty version. Crusty on the outside and light and fluffy in the middle.

    Excellent- just watch out if baking on the high temperature for soft rolls as these scorch easily.

• Wholemeal bread

  • Leo on February 19, 2014

    Have made this 3 or 4 times now - results always different (but delicious) depending on whether I deliberately put the dough in a warm place to prove or just left in a warm kitchen. It takes time but no effort at all. Lovely toasted and makes great sandwiches.

• White pita breads

  • pomona on June 06, 2020

    How is bread so delicious. I didn't get big pockets but it was easy to cut open and stuff.

• Focaccia

  • breadenthusiast on July 15, 2025

    Easy and tasty recipe, works perfectly well even if I can't be bothered to knead the dough.

• Mug - or anywhere - bread

  • Leo on February 19, 2014

    Made a lovely, chewy loaf with an open texture - amazing really considering the lack of work needed.

• 'Everyday' loaf (Pain de mie)

  • Boffcat on November 28, 2016

    Delicious, and lasts surprisingly well for a few days even without being toasted. The recipe describes the dough as wet, but mine was actually fairly 'dry' (which made it easy to work with).

• Advanced white bread

  • breadenthusiast on September 11, 2025

    I want to get back to baking sourdough bread, so a loaf with a bit of yeast in it like this recipe is an easy first step. It's a wet dough, but not overly wet and frustrating. Sadly, the sourdough flavour is barely noticeable, even with an overnight proof in the fridge - still a very tasty loaf of bread though!

• Hot cross buns

  • breadenthusiast on June 21, 2025

    I've tried different hot cross bun recipes over the years but this is my favourite. Very light, I like the flavour of wholemeal flour and the sourdough. My family doesn't like too many dried fruits in it, so I reduce the amount of dried fruit a bit (eyeballing it). And I make it with a flour/water cross instead of icing.

• Spiced apple muffins

  • Beth891 on April 16, 2024

    Pretty tasty- there is a lot of apple in these and the batter was a little tight but the baked muffins were good. Changes I made was I added apple pie spice to the flour rather than cinnamon and I cooked them for 17 mins at 180c. It made 12 small muffins and I'd make again.

• Lemon and poppy seed muffins

  • Wazzockbeak on February 18, 2020

    The glaze is pretty but a bit too sticky for my liking.
