@Crucial nope , that thing needs to be smothered in melted butter .
Warm bread, soft salty butter I agree
But not hot bread. The dough shrinks up and doesn’t stay moist for long.
Patience

how is smoked butter? I've been thinking about making some, just never actually had it. What do yo uuse it for (aside from fresh bread, obviously).
Also, Panasonic Breadmakers FTW. We have hardly bought bread in 15 years... not as awesome as hand made, but still superb for little effort.

It's good. Sweetcorn, baked spuds, basically anywhere you would use savoury butter. Not bad just added to a steak either.

Once you've done smoked butter, then do smoked lemon juice, its good frozen into ice cubes in drinks . Also dark chocolate in the smoker and then in the fridge again till it sets is bloody good.
Smoked tomato, onions or boiled kumera smoked are all good too. I try to chuck something on the top shelf of the smoker if there no meat on there. -

Effort in that sourdough loaf was under 10 minutes spread over 24 hours including feeding the starter.
Would be the same for two or three loaves -

But 2 minutes effort to wake up to freshly made bread, day after day is pretty tempting.

Yeah, I used to have one but have since unlearned all I had been taught about making bread (kneading, punching down, warm proofing) and gone for time, structure and fermentation.
The bread is no longer empty calories and cotton wool with a nice smell.
Amazing what the food industry convinced us was good bread in order to sell cheap and quick.
These so called gluten intolerances are at worst intolerance to indigestible goo. Fermented wheat and water is more digestible and more nutritious. It’s why bread became a staple food in various forms across the world.Yes, I’m a born again bread bore.

Dunno if this belongs in this thread, but I've just made some home-made Tia Maria as the whanau likes to drink the stuff over Christmas. Used good quality stuff - coffee beans, dark rum and vanilla pods.
Tastes real good - not much cheaper than the commercial stuff but lots more depth of flavour and interest

@Victor-Meldrew funny that no matter where you are in the world people only tend to drink it around Christmas!! Like the sound of this myself, did you use a recipe, I want to start experimenting with drinks like this other than the usual mulled wine, hot whiskeys etc.
