And still is, Chez Flum. Come to think of it, we're nearly history now. Whoops, there we go.

I'll have a go at the pots over easter with Miss EB. Sort of thing she'll enjoy then she can recycle the pots for some of her flowers. I'd best get some new ones she may not like the idea of using dirty ones and I don't have than many anyway.

She'll love it - have fun.

Here we go....4 little loaves in plant pots!

Jigged around with the recipe a bit - part granary flour - and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't take long to make (tho' realise now that this recipe doesn't do a second knead). Bread tastes wonderful...had eaten one loaf before I realised I hadn't taken a pic!

Query tho' JG - did you mean 150 degrees (gas 2) or 450 degrees (gas 8)? Consulted a number of cookery books and did the loaves at gas 8 for 15 mins then got cold feet and turned down to gas 4 for 25 mins.

They didn't seem to suffer for it .....DELICIOUS........will be making again, especially with the single knead.

Good inspiration, JG - thank you.

HATH

Cool result - they look great.

Yes you were right to jig-up the recipe, and sorry I did mean 150 degrees and I should have said it was a single prove and didn't need kocking back.

So I hope you are a true convert to doing things by hand and not by machine. Don't you think it was easy - and less time consuming than bread machine - and you don't get woken up in the middle of the night (oh I forgot you sleep in the West Wing when the machine is on).

Did you manage to line the pots in some way?

For our part we didn't do this recipe but made. My son had a friend on a sleepover and we made yeast dough for pizzas, knocked them back, made the bases and then watched them rise incredibly in the oven.

Yes I did - I meant to mention it - I thought that oiling the pots then putting two strips of baking parchment in each pot should do the trick and the loaves could be knocked out.....but no - where the dough is in contact with the pot it really welds to it!

Will fully line pot next time, and have faith in your 150 degrees!

Also, I put crushed a garlic clove in one and chopped some sweet peppers in oil in another - will report back on taste!

I think that my prob with breadmaking has always been that you get the kitchen all full of baking and flour (and I love cooking), put the bread to prove, clean the kitchen, and then have to start again for the second knead. This method is easy peasy in comparison, but I need to experiment more before being totally converted.

Sundried toms and olives are my favourites.
