I'm baking today, for the first time in absolute ages. I'm using a modified version of this recipe: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/banana_bread/

Instead of baking powder and all-purpose flour, I use self-raise flour. I added an extra egg and left out the vanilla.

ETA: It turned out very nice! I doubled the original recipe amounts and got 3 smallish loaves.

Those look great. I love sweet breads.

I did not get to baking bread yesterday but am on it today!

I am making my three loaf recipe that is in the index. Changes are:

2 C hard white wheat ground into flour--yield it about 4 C flour
2\3 C milk powder
1\3 C raw organic sugar
1 tsp diastolic malt powder
2 eggs
1 TBL potato starch
4 TBL vital gluten

It is in the kitchen aid mixer kneading now.

last night i made two spice cakes or idk what you would call them. i think they were cakes. i had left over self rising flour and i decided to make a cake with it. i sort of just threw some of this and some of that and it turned out so good! first time i made a cake that wasnt from a box and without a recipe.

I've found this thread to be highly addictive...just like fresh baked bread! I'm now looking at buying another bread machine! (Mine is old as the hills and I only use it for kneading and 1st rise.) Does anyone have a favorite bread machine (to actually bake in)? I am looking at a couple on Amazon but I'm leaning towards this one:

I like that it has collapsible paddles and it bakes in a regular loaf shape.

Well my bread was a bit sad today. I was going to make rottnots bread but it was not going to fit in my breadmaker and I was a bit busy today so went with my breadmaker book one. Put it in for the second rise and promptly forgot all about it duh! It spilled over the sides and I now have very interesting shaped slices lol

No suggestions on new ones - but that one looks like the typical tall pans. I did research in the past - the ones that mix on the end of tall pans do a better mix than the ones with flat rectangular pans.

My machine's book warns that using a recipe exceeding the max amount of flour/dough will burn up the mixing mechanism - make sure with next one to reduce the recipes.
