She left in the kitchen on a work top while the oven was on.

The loaf wife made is brilliant but until I make one we do not know if it is the packet yeast she used or the way she did it by hand.

What is the general consensus of opinion would I be better mixing it in a bowl by hand or using our Morphy Richards mixer with a dough hook?

My theory is that because it didnt rise it made it pudding like and as such it needed longer cooking in the middle but the outside browned so it looked like it was cooked. Wife is making hers in the morning so we shall see how it turns out. After reading about it on the net an on here I...

It was BBC Good Food Easy White Bread recipe

I made it by hand not a breadmaker machine and used slightly more yeast than suggested ie 10gm instead of 7gm plus a tspn of sugar/ It was brown to say the least, but when slicing it was not cooked. I did it exactly as per the recipe as regards time and temperature in a fan assisted oven...

Bread making failure again as it didnt rise. On the You tube videos it shows the yeast frothing up when the warm water is added but mine didnt. I used 50mil boiling water with 100ml of cold water to activate it but still it didnt rise. The instructions say the dough should double in...

With my knowledge of bread making I doubt I would even complete the entrance form if they asked anythin btechnical.

I wasnt posting for you but more for the intelligent members of NSC who have answered positively with suggestions to help..

The recipe said to leave for an hour then knock back into shape and leave for another hour. Just 1 final point do ost reccpmend making it in a loaf tin or as a lump on parchment paper. I can use either i fact I bought some bread tin liners on E bay some time ago.

Thanks for that as I have said this thread has opened my eyes and made me look at the various points on You Tube about bread making and yeast etc. I shall try again, probably Monday and report back.

We do not have such a cupboard as our boiler has been moved into the kitchen taking out the old airing cupboard so do not have such a cupboard Again You Tube shows a way of porooving the bread in the oven. It is suprising what is shown but I wouldnt even have considereds any of it...

I dont know whether ours does but if not could I warm the oven to the minimum temperature and then pu it in there to proove bforee turning up to temperatuire to bake.

Thanks for the advice I am going to have another go. I am sure that previouisly somebody said to use LIDL Strong White Flour so will go into BH on Monday to get some. ps After the advice given on here I went to Allinsons site and they had a You Tube on yeast and it appears that I have...

I just googled the difference between dried active yeast and fresh yeast and apparently you have to dissolve dried yeast in half of the quantity of water being used but warm water which is probably where I went wrong.

The yeast was in date until 01/18 and the water was straight out of the cold tap. Should I have put the water in the fridge to get colder?

The recipe said leave for an hour and it should double in size but it didnt then place on baking parchment and leave for a further hour and agin it shiould rise but it didnt. It did give the option of leaving it in the fridge overnight. You say about another packet of yeast is that better...

Can anybody help please. I made a loaf of bread by hand not a bread maker but a mixing machine and using Hovis Granary Bread Flour and Allinsons Dried Active yeast exactly as per BBC Good food recipe. But it was a disaster. It didnt rise to double the size as the recipe said and was very...
