Topic: Farmhouse Cob recipe
I wrote the following as a review for the Farmhouse Cob recipe:
'Needs some additional instructions. It says: "...use your bread maker to mix and knead the dough, then enjoy shaping and baking the bread" but the only instructions relate to the bread maker part.'
You replied:
"We thougth our comment would encourage the use of a breadmaker on a dough setting and enjoying shaping and baking the bread in your own oven."
I tried to respond but you only get to write one review per recipe!
What I wanted to say was: I'm sure the recipe will prompt some people to do just as you suggest but, if they've never made bread any other way than in a machine, they're going to be a bit stumped when they come to the end of your instructions, aren't they? Wouldn't it make sense tell them how to go about shaping the loaf, what temperature the oven should be set at, whether it should remain at that temperature for the whole of the baking time and what the baking time should be? After all, those are the little things that would make it a recipe rather than just a list of ingredients and a suggestion.
