Too late, teatime was about an hour ago

Knipples · 30-08-2009, 22:29

Tomorrow then?

I might actually make some bread tomorrow, you've inspired me, is that recipe anywhere?

lostkat · 30-08-2009, 22:48

It's ingrained in my skull because I make it so often

1/2 tsp yeast
300g strong white bread flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
170ml warm water

Mix ingredients together to form a dough and knead for 10 mins until smooth & elastic (I let the breadmaker do this for me as I'm lazy). Cover with clingfilm and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 mins. Roll into a rectangle (30x20ish) and place on an oiled baking tray. Poke dents in it with your fingers.

Slice a couple of cloves of garlic and poke them into the bread. Poke some sprigs of rosemary into it and then season with salt & pepper. Drizzle with some olive oil then cover with clingfilm and leave to rise for 1/2 hr.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at GM6 for 20-25 mins. Tear into chunks and eat whilst warm

That looks delicious!

One of my favourite and easiest meals to cook is Thai Green Mussel curry.
Need 3kg of fresh mussels to serve 3 people though.

That looks good! Might need to try that at some point!

I don't own a fryer but make homemade chips in the oven. After cutting them into chip shapes I par boil them in a pan for 5 minutes. Then I dip them in olive oil and put them in a baking tray and stick them in the oven for 20 minutes.

Yeah I normally parboil and put them in the oven with some chilli flakes on them. Wanted to be authentic with this one though

Sidey - 1 kg per person?? Jesus christ!!!!
