White Bread Machine Loaf

I’ve made this 3 times now, using other brands ( sorry Dove) it’s made a beautifully soft loaf every time.

This Doves Farm Whit Spelt Loaf works out Perfectly, and it tastes lovely. I used the Quick bake setting 1 hour 40 mins on the Morphy Richards fastbake bread machine . Its so quick and straightforward to bake this loaf everyday.

I use this Doves Farm Organic Strong White Bread Flour in sweet and savoury loaves as well as normal bread (see earlier review). I make a lot of bread using a Panasonic breadmaker with both a raisin and a yeast dispenser. One favourite is an almond and apricot loaf. I use 400g of this flour with 50g ground almonds, 50g flaked almonds and 100g chopped dried apricots (cut in eighths). The remaining ingredients are: 1.25tsp Doves Farm Quick Yeast, 1tbsp sugar, 2tbsp dried skimmed milk powder, 1tsp salt, 35g unsalted butter and 290ml water. This yields a well risen loaf with sweet and crunchy nuggets throughout the bread. I have also used 100g ground almonds, with no flaked almonds, and loaded more dried fruit in the raisin dispenser and 1.5tsp yeast in the yeast dispenser. Unfortunately adding glacé cherries, on top of the dried apricots, provided a boiled sweet effect concentrated at the bottom of the loaf; using dried sour cherries would have been probably better.

This Doves Farm Organic Strong White Bread Flour produces a basic well risen white loaf with a good crust and crumb. I make a lot of bread using a Panasonic breadmaker with both a raisin and a yeast dispenser. I use 500g of this flour with 1tsp Doves Farm Quick Yeast, 1tbsp sugar, 2tbsp dried skimmed milk powder, 1.5tsp salt, 25g unsalted butter and 350ml water. It does’t quite rise as much as Canadian flour, but it is organic.
