Making bread with............

[dickymint]

White wine? Anybody tried it? Thoughts?

Can't find anything of use on the net. Just thinking of a straight replacement with the water as I've been given a gallon of homemade that as far as wine is concerned.....well let's say I wont be drinking it!!

I imagine it would be disgusting. If it’s foul to drink, is mixing it with yeast and flour going to make it more or less palatable do you think?!

Not sure but Wifey absolutely detests Anchovies but never complains when I cook with them

Same here actually. However, I think the bread will be rank. Prove me wrong!

First proof was as normal but this second one after shaping is taking way too long (yeast may be dead spent?) i'll plug on with it but i'm normally on my way to the pub by now

Poor second rise but may get some spring back now its in the steam oven baking.

Mission complete off for

So... how did it taste?

[anonymous-user]

It looks great!

There is an old adage that you should never cook with wine that you won't drink...

[dickymint]

It's definitely staying on the menu..........



Went to the pub for the football, told Wifey I’d used a “secret ingredient” and not to try it till I got back! Fat chance of that as her Mum came round and they had a sandwich she loved it and asked if it was cheese I’d used!

Anyway it certainly tastes different but I can’t describe it.

Couple of slices left for supper with Brie and a Pear

Might try flat Strongbow next

I make a bread with beer in it. That's really nice.

Interested to know if you decarbonate it first? If not how does it not rise like buggery then collapse?

Use as is.
