I was reading and viewing a recipe for Popovers using a silicone pan. The Popovers were beautiful. Would you recommend these pans? And how about the silicone loaf pans, etc.?

Can you get a long way? Who knows. At least, I've signed up here, and have my first loaf rising right about next to me. I probably don't have the right flour, as it's those especially for cookies and cakes. Plus, I have to figure out what 375 degrees on this site is. Is that in Fahrenheit? How much is that in Celsius? And how do I figure out what my oven can do? (I mean, it goes from 1-->8 but doesn't show °C). I wonder how the baker I go to would think about me if I turn up with it and ask "what went wrong!".

Too many questions and so little answers. Just because I saw Yakitate Japan and wanted to make bread like Azuma :p Well, I bet this bread making is just going to be a passing "fad", like I went through many. I suppose it all depends on how succesful this bread will be. Or it's successor. At least I'm learning stuff. Yesterday at the supermarket we went "Wow!" at the Echiré butter we found. High Quality Butter! I wonder if there are a lot of girlz/women that make bread.

I am trying to find a recipe for crackers. I know what I want but evidently have not come up with the right word to describe them. I have tries several recipes but they were very much like soda crackers, not what I'm after. They were good, but.

I would like to produce a very thin, crispy cracker. I believe the process would be dough, rolled thin, baked and then broken into pieces for serving. I use steam injection in my bread making and not sure it would enhance the cracker recipe. Any ideas?

Made a supposedly Dutch kinda breakfast cake last saturday. But internet's down for the last 2 days.

Groninger Koek? that's the name.. lol
It's made with rye flour, and it contains no eggs or fats. Very spicy smell.
Oh, and it's also a pretext to meddle with my dad's new camera ;)

After used to having bread for breakfast, i was deprived of my usual breakfast treat when my exams came and my last loaf finished recently.
This is what i have to do when i have lil time on my hands.
A loaf prepared in 15 minutes!! ..lol

Had to make a brown soda bread... too much Soda i think. Affected the taste..haha..or is it suppose to be like tht?..i dunno. The people in the place where i live only calls white fluffy, sweet - cake liked things as bread. They would term all my breads as alien... :P

Hello! For my first entry I will talk about a recipie inspired from a show called Yakitate Japan. Yakitate Japan, which means "freshly baked Japan" where Ja-pan is a pun on the japanese word for bread "pan", is an anime about a young boy's journey to create a bread that culturally represents Japan. It is hysterical, tounge-in-cheek, and chock full of interesting bread ideas. On one episode they discussed a recipe for microwave bread. Since I don't speak japanese or cook in metric, I devised my own recipe using the same basic concepts. It is still a work in progress, but everyone should try it. It amazed me with how well it turns out.
