Mixed fruit and marmalade loaf cake, my own recipe.

It's my birthday tomorrow, so this morning my wife made chocolate and marmalade cake. Dark rich flavour, nearly all the sugar comes from the Cooper's Oxford Marmalade with a small amount of dark muscovado.

It will be iced with a ganache made from dark chocolate and mascarpone.

Decided to bake some cupcakes, doesn’t use up any essentials and tasty too! More on an other plate

Bank Holiday in lockdown, we ran out of bread, so I took it upon myself to make a homemade white cob

^^ Looks good. Did you start it in a breadmaker?

Thanks.

No, proved in a bowl, knocked back, then proved a second time on a baking sheet, then into the oven.

New kitchen with new ovens and new stand mixer is a good excuse to have a go at some baking. We have stew for dinner tonight so had a go at some bread rolls.

Forgot to actually take photos of the mixer doing it's thing, but it worked a treat and made a decent looking (to me) dough, if a little wet. But that could be down to my measurements converting an American recipe (WTF are "cups" all about???)

Anyway, "Dough Proving" setting on the oven says fill a compartment with water and put the dough in the oven for an hour. So I did. Seems to work.



Dough divided in to 16 "roughly equal" (ahem) portions, brushed with melted butter and left for another 30 minutes. The 30 minutes was just about enough time to wipe dough from the worktop, cupboard doors, tap, stand mixer, tea towel, door handle......



Then 18 minutes in the oven on the bread baking setting.



I have to say for a first attempt they turned out blooming lovely. Crunchy crust, fluffy inner. Almost gave myself a handshake.



Just got to hope they last till dinner time...

^^ It's a while since I cooked any rolls, must have another go. I used to make the dough in a bread maker, and I must say it worked very well. Yours look really nice.
