Don't use a bread maker for banana bread. Takes about 20 minutes.

Thank you very much.

Was gonna take a pic of the two 7/11 banana muffins i had in the cupboard but theyve been pilfered

Is all purpose flour the same as plain flour or self raising?

Worth getting one though if you're limited to the usual sorry excuse that passes for bread in much of Asia.

I had one for about 80 quid a few years ago and it made really good stuff. Coming down in the morning to the smell of freshly baked bread was only bettered by eating it 5 minutes later.

I tried making loaves in my little oven last year but there was no comparison.

Fried rice with lardons, was going to use them to make pasta but couldn't be arsed so let the misses do some rice, I'm nice like that.

I'm using those little gluay hom type bananas. We have tons of them. Making two loaves every day. My wifes father eats half a loaf himself. Really is much better than anything you can buy from a store.

You had any luck at making decent loaves for sandwiches and toast, Humbert?

Oh yes, I make bread, rolls, sausage rolls, pita bread, ciabatta bread etc. all the time. I never use a bread machine do it all by hand.

Fantastic. Any chance of a recipe for the forum?

When I tried making a loaf it was either too hard on the outside and/or fell apart too easily on the inside. I'm guessing it was a temperature/cooking time problem with the oven?

I'll do a thread next time I make bread. I am learning how to make rustic bread now which requires a very long proofing time and baking in a dutch oven. White sandwich bread is quite simple and only takes a few hours. I have experimented a lot with different techniques and types of flour.

Top man.

Dillinger knows all about, Dutch ovens!

A semi healthy spicy lunch.

Decided to try out the new KFC in town for a western taste. Not really sure why I did considering I live opposite a pub that does pretty decent western fare and even wacks out a good roast corned beef. I actually feel quite ill after dinner! It was overly oily, now I understand that this is KFC but it was shining in oil and there was a pool at the bottom of the box. The branch was clean, service was good and English was spoken-so some positives. As for the chicken- the Burmese aunty outside my school gates puts it to shame.

When i was little, my dad used to slice a banana in half, fill it with chocolate and wrap it up in tinfoil. And stick it in the barbie.

^I guess you were a lot poorer then...
