Had a bread experiment last night, using the bread maker as I was feeling lazy, also wanted to test some dries yeast that I had as having used the yeast on a quid dough breadmaker setting it came out wierd.
So added an extra half teaspoon of yeast this time and threw in 100g of sourdough. Then I decided to trick the machine to do two mixes. A breadmaker usually uses fast action yeast so single knead, no knock back and then bake, but I used the bread machine on a quick setting to just mix the dough and then turn the machine off and use the fact that the machine warms the mix to do a first prove of 30 mins. Then I turn the machine on again and use a setting with the longest prove, that happened to be the french bread setting and off it went.
Did you know that tesco* will give you yeast for free. *tesco with an actual bakery not one that just reheats, and the bakery staff have to be there. So far I have found that Lewisham is one.
