Lazy arse method of making bread (if you don't have a breadmaking machine)

Originally posted by DealorNoDeal View PostI've been making bread this way for several weeks and the results are pretty consistent. The loaf produced is a bit of an odd shape (round and squat) but, if you can live with that, it's fairly decent bread.
Benefits
No kneading or fannying about. No flour or mess everywhere. Only cleaning up is a wipe of the knife and a quick scrub of the cake pan.
Equipment
Approx 7" diameter by 2" deep silicon cake pan eg.
SILICON CAKE TIN MOULD: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home
Cutlery knife
Metal baking sheet
Scales (obviously)
Wire rack (eg. from grill pan)
Ingredients
250g bread flour (I've been using 50/50 wholemeal/white)
1 level teaspoon fast acting bread yeast
180g hot water (I use half boiling, half cold)
Oven
210°C conventional, 200°C fan
Method
Put flour and yeast in cake pan, and mix a bit with the cutlery knife.
Add water and mix with knife until all the flour and water are combined into a wet dough.
Use the knife to level it out.
Cover pan with the baking sheet (to prevent dough drying out) and leave to rise for about 1 hour.
Place pan on baking sheet, and whack it in pre-heated oven for 30 mins.
Turn loaf out on to rack to cool.
Add 50gr of Dill to the dough
you then knead the dill-dough"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Originally posted by Pogle View PostI’m making a lot of Japanese milk bread (Hokkaido milk bread) at the moment. It is wonderfully soft and is supposed to last well as it’s made with a roux (tangzhong). However it gets eaten too quickly to test that theory out!
It does require a bit of faffing but is really, really worth it. I’ve started adding things like dried wild garlic and herbs to it now and it’s worked well.
Next thing to try is to make sweet rolls with it with either an almond or cinnamon paste filling.
I can also heartily recommend Japanese cotton cheesecake too. It’s like nothing you’ve ever tried before.
I had a load of dried yeast in before lockdown and have bought a 16Kg bag of flour, which made me very popular with the carers and neighbours as I was happy to give lots away!Growing old is mandatory

On a separate note, it makes me want to scream when I hear American's say 'herb'. Obviously I am not accusing you of being american Paddy.Comment
