MY BREAD RECIPE
375 grams strong wholemeal flour
375 grams strong white flour
1 ˝ tsp salt
1 ˝ tsp sugar
450 ml water/milk
4 ˝ tsp olive/vegetable/sunflower/groundnut/rapeseed oil
1 block of fresh yeast (available from Morrisons, 4 blocks for
50p)
This recipe makes a 3lb loaf, best baked in a 4lb loaf tin
Sieve the flour into a bowl
Add salt, and roughly mix it all together with a fork
Add 200 ml boiling water to a jug, make up to 350ml with cold
water, then top up to 450 ml with milk
Add oil, break yeast into small chunks, add and stir well. The
oil will float on top of the liquid, but this is not a problem.
Make a well in the flour, and pour in the contents of the jug
Mix together with a fork until it becomes difficult, then mix by
hand
Pour a little oil onto a work surface, making sure that you coat
your hands in oil, then take the dough out of the bowl, and
knead for 6 – 10 minutes – best to use the heels of your hands
for this
When the dough is firm, clean the bowl and oil it lightly all
over
Form the dough into a ball and add to the bowl
Cover with cling film and leave to rise – it should double in
size within an hour
Remove the dough from the bowl and “knock it back” – same as
kneading but you only have to knead about six times to get the
air out
Put dough back into the bowl, cover with cling film, and leave
to rise again until double the size
Oil the loaf tin lightly, then knock back the dough, form into
an oblong shape to fit the loaf tin, add to the loaf tin and
loosely cover with cling film
When the dough has risen to about half an inch above the top of
the loaf tin, bake it on 200C for 35 minutes – the loaf Is done
when it sounds hollow when you tap the bottom of it with a
fingernail
Turn out onto a cooling rack and cover with a tea towel for 1 ˝
- 2 hours, then wrap in cling film
Cut and spread with butter, then eat!

Thanks Rebbonk, and welcome here to the forum. Those are good
quick recipes.
I did try similar that didn't require too much kneading and
turned out well, My sister gave me the recipe.
I'm gonna try Chocolate cake now.

I'm a dab hand at mug cakes, great if you just want something
sweet and quick.
1Tbs sugar or honey
21/2 Tbs plain flour
1/8 Tsp salt
1/4 Tsp bicarb soda
1 Tbs oil
1Tbs milk
1Tsp vanilla essence (optional)
1 tsp butter
Mix together and pour the batter into a microwaveable mug. (Make
it large as the batter will expand)
Microwave 45 seconds.
It's cooked when you can insert a skewer into the cake and it
comes out clean. If you need extra time do it in 15 second
bursts.
Melt a couple of spoons of your favourite jam and pour over.
Other toppings are acceptable.
Smile as you indulge.

Slow cooker kebab
Mix:-
500g lamb mince
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon mixed herbs
1 teaspoon dried/ground oregano
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mould into a thick 'sausage' and wrap tightly in foil. Pop a
couple of drain holes in the bottom of the foil and then rest on
a couple of foil balls in the bottom of the slow cooker.
About 6 hours later you will have something that rivals the
finest you will find on the street.
Tip. Use a vegetable peeler to get the usual familiar thin
strips of meat.
This will comfortably feed two when suplemented with chips or
pita breads.

I modified this today by substituting 100g of flour for 50g of
semolina and 50g of porridge oats. - Made a nice texture and was
very tasty.

Mayonaise 'Biscuits' - More like bread rolls really
Incredibly simple, but very tasty. You don't taste the mayo, but
it gives the biscuits a light and fluffy texture. For rolled and
cut biscuits, use just enough milk to hold it together.
2 cups self-rising flour (300g)
1 cup milk (I used water and not too much or it gets very runny)
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
Preheat oven to 200[sup]O[/sup]C
In a large bowl, stir together flour, milk, and mayonnaise until
just blended. Drop by spoonfuls onto lightly greased baking
sheets. (I used a mash potato scoop)
Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden
brown. (Mine took 17 minutes)
Absolutely melt in the mouth. 8)
