New toy

I bought a breadmaker :o)
It arrived last week and been well used for different sorts of loaves already.

I didn't do only bread...

I've tried brioche as well. I made one with orange blossom flower and yesterday I've made my favourite: praline brioche :o)

It raised so well, that it almost overflow the pan.

This is the recipe if you want to try:
260ml of milk
2 eggs
180g of melted butter
600g of flour (I used wholemeal:white, 1:2)
1/2 table spoon of salt
80g of sugar (demerara)
2.5 table spoon of dried yeast
200g of bits of pink pralines (I bought them in France, I don't know where to get them in the UK although you can find pastries with pink pralines, so I guess, it must be possible to buy some here)

I used the brioche program on the machine but if you don't have one, the one for wholemeal bread will do.

Now, I think I am going to try and make some lavender brioche. I've got some dried lavender flowers and if I infuse them into the milk, it should flavoured it... I'll let you know how it turned out ;o)
