Lazy arse method of making bread (if you don't have a breadmaking machine)

[ladymuck]

Had a fair bit of success with sourdough starters (after a few false starts as the house wasn't warm enough), once I cracked it I got bored as we don't eat a lot of bread in the house so a loaf every other day was wasteful

That's my issue. I do like bread but I don't eat it very often so making even one loaf a week can be a waste. I am successfully maintaining a starter though as my sourdough doughnuts were ace! I almost wish I had a proper fryer as it's a faff doing deep fat frying in a saucepan.

I put my starter into hibernation at the back of the fridge and get it out once every couple of weeks (or longer).

You don't need to muck about with starter every day.

I know - I'm still experimenting with it though

This is the bread https://www.theflavorbender.com/japa...ido-milk-bread

Gave it a go, tasty but not worth the effort of hand making, might try it in the bread machine

Are we all still baking? My sourdough starter died and I never bothered trying to resurrect it.

A true Lazy arse doesn't bother to make anything.

Oh yes, I put a bit of my starter in the freezer but I’ve just got myself a yellow tin of Allinson’s yeast so am using that.

Still haven’t given the Japanese bread a go yet though (I might try that in a day or two).

Only pizza dough, don't eat enough bread to bother with other stuff. Use the poolish cold ferment up to 48 hrs. Bit faffy but superb results. Also sick of sourdough appearing everywhere, its sour FFS!

Oh, I’d forgotten my pizza dough! I make them every week or two.

I was outraged when Asda doubled the price of their pizza mix by only having a single mix bag instead of a double mix box, so I decided to make it myself and found that it only took a little longer to make than the Asda version and it’s much nicer, so stuff ‘em.

(I can’t be arsed with poolish for pizzas, I just do that for bread.)

Over lock down made all my bread, yay for having a bread machine
