Bread in 8 minutes - in a sandwich toaster!
(8 Posts)I'd been meaning to try this out for a while - so when my wife wanted something to eat with her afternoon coffee, I swung into action:
Switch on the grill.
Measure ingredients:
50g s/r flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 tsp mixed spice
50g sultanas
30+g water
Mix into a dough, turn out on worktop, knead for about 5 seconds, flatten out into a disc about 15cm across, place in grill.
This took about 3-4 minutes. Put timer on for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes turn over for one further minute.
Serve!
This method would also work for other flatbreads. I could imagine knocking out 4 naan breads in about 20 minutes, for instance.
Cost:
Flour - 1.5p
Sugar - 1p?
Spice - 1p?
Sultanas - 8p
Total - say 12p
[Pic to come]
Now, if you can figure out how to do brioche using that method you'll be a wealthy man*!
*or woman?
Thanks though, will try out tomorrow.
Do you think it will be ok in a panini press?
Hi hugo
I had to google that - and I came across this:
www.buzzfeed.com/arielknutson/surprising-things-you-can-make-in-a-panini-press#.an53Dg736
So I think, there's no reason why not!
Love to hear how you get on!
Needed some bread for lunch, so I put 200g of yeast-risen bread dough in the grill - and 4 minutes later I had bread.
Finally got around to putting all this in a blog post.
I used to make pastry in a sandwich toaster (I was a student, there were no ovens).
Sounds perfect, think I'll try this out when I get home.
