Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 7, 2020 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 7, 2020 Bacon, another thing: save the chickpea liquid. It can be whipped into a goo called aquafaba which can be used as a substitute for egg white. Get your kids to take it turns to whisk it into a meringue. (google aquafaba recipes, the vegans are all over it.)Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Nexus Posted April 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) I won't show my spices; they're a fucking mess.  Still, made a paneer/potato/chickpea curry from the Dishoom cookbook, home-made onion bhaji, home-made daal, home-made naan and then pilau rice.

Paid Members Chunk Posted April 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Few things I've done recently. Made a batch of kimchi and knocked this up for lunch: kimchi fried rice, an egg, loads of sriracha. Obviously every bastard under the sun is a home baker now but I've genuinely been at it for years. Here's my latest standard white loaf:  Edited April 8, 2020 by Chunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 8, 2020 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 8, 2020 Now there's a man with his own banneton! Top crumb @Chunk. I baked a loaf this week with only plain flour instead of strong. I couldn't tell any difference at all! I've been duped all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted April 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2020 I haven't been able to get hold of strong flour for my breadmaking in recent weeks, as flour in general is just one of the products that's regularly cleared off the shelves these days. I recently discovered we have a big jar of oatbran - would that be worth trying, mixing it with plain flour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either yeast, bicarb + culture (don't rest it) or bake as unleavened flatbread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The principle comes from soda bread, look up recipes for that and use that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
