Mouldy Bread
 

For the last few weeks most of the bread i have bought has gone mouldy either on the sell by date or just before, prior to this it was lasting well beyond the date.........i have tried various brands of bread....so i`m thinking of conspiracy theories,what are they doing to my bread...?.....or can anyone help me out..?:confused:

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

They are injecting it with Botox!:p

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

never have a problem, always buy Warburtons, its dear but good, then depends how long yer loaf lasts in summer, pop it in freezer if its gonna be a while n take out 30 mins before ya want it.;)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Now you mention it, warburtons was ok(although dear).....mmm cheers

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

its all about what "Grade" of flour n all that crap, the cheapos use low grade.;)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Well i never knew that, cheers.......karma sent

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I make my own so it doesn't contain preservatives.
I slice and freeze what I know I'm not going to need next day.
It helps to store bread in the fridge overnight.

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

In the fridge......i`ll give it a try thanx margaret:)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Its the same with veggies pip. Keep them in the fridge as well, it retains their vits by an incredible amount (cant remember the exact). Toms taste better if they have been out of the fridge for a couple of hours and they will be much more juicy.

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Make my own Soda Bread because I'm allergic to yeast- lasts
ages.:dancedog:

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

fer the karma pips.;):D

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

lol brilliant

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I wouldn't have anything but Warbies cashy, and I always keep mine in the freezer, I only take out the number of slices I want at any one time, put them separately on the work top and its defrosted in less than 5 minutes;)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

well you never see wrinkly bread so it must work

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I dunno! These 2 look pretty wrinkly to me

Imagine making bread like this :rolleyes: lol

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

LOL that is quite scary wonder what they taste like

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

bread probably goes mouldy quicker because of the warmer weather, its the same with friut too, iv noticed me oranges and apples going off a lot quicker and me spuds rooting:rolleyes:

As for warbutons bread, it probably keeps longer because of all the preservatives in it!
and its like dough...yuk!!!

I now buy kingsmill, and its not a bad loaf either, i always buy in bulk and freeze it!:D

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Someone was giving away a bread machine on Freecycle today.
Three minutes to fill it and switch on -job done
It works out cheaper and the bread is real good stuff

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Don't think I'd want to break a piece of their face off to try it

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I have a bread machine, the bad thing is, its tastes to bloody good, so i end up eating the crusty loaf, which is not a good idea on my diet:o

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

And we all know that the best flour comes from Canadian No 1 grade Spring Wheat from the great (and flat) Province of Saskatchewan:D ... and there should be no shortage this year .... Saskatchewan could have a bumper crop:alright:

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I also have a bread machine, never use it stuck in a cupboard catching dust although the bread was amazing but have to agree it does make you eat it all at once

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I think thats your solution pipinfort!

Get a breadmaker, make ya own bread

That way, ya know who to blame when the bread goes mouldy;)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I`ll tell the wife......:D

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Oooo i love the smell of cooking bread!!....one of the best smells going:D....emmmm

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

thats one reason I never buy bread products with blueberries in , difficult to tell if its mould or just the fruit .
Also I can never figure out why the hole in the center of a week old bagel is bigger than the hole in the center of a fresh one , you would think if the bagel dries up and shrinks the hole would get smaller :confused: :confused:

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I'm sure she'll love you more than ever with the mention of her name and a bread machine in the same sentence:p

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Like you panther I love the smell of baking bread. it is just ummmmm .. always rem the bakery at the bottom of alice st in ossy. used to love walking past when they were baking.

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

lol you daft devil no it wouldnt it would get bigger :eek:

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Maybe it is just the bagel that shrinks and the hole stays the same size:confused: This question should be addressed to some of the great minds in physics;) And are we to assume that people in Accy know what a bagel is:D I know that this might offend people in the Big Apple, but the best bagels are those from Montreal, esp. in the Trans Island area where there is a large Jewish population .... (can never figure out why the breakfast bagel from Rotten Ronny's comes with bacon or ham:confused: .... sounds like a contradiction in foods to me.)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Bagels are quite popular over here now Eric

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

So ... you guys are getting civilized at last;) If you like bagels, and are ever in Montreal, take a walk down Rue St. Catherine and you will find the best bagels on the planet ... and try Montreal Smoked Meat on your bagel .... I love Montreal.:alright: Vive le Quebec:dancedog: Vive les Canadiens de Montreal:dancedog:

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

My grandchildren like them for breakfast:) As for me ever being in Montreal, not likely but you never know;)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

And I almost forgot .... Vive les Van Doos .... Appuyons nos troupes en Afghanistan.

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I think they are a bit chewy and heavy!
Ok if your desperate though !!
The seeded ones are best!

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

that is 'barbaric' only thing should be spread on a bagel is either lox or a schmear of cream cheese, , Bagels and Bacon is as crude and cringe worthy as curry and chips /chow mien and chips/ lasagne and chips/ paella and chips or any other combination ordered by British tourists in dining establishments around the world :eek: :eek:

:hidewall:

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Scuse me!!!
I don't like chips.
I like my lasagne with salad and nice crusty bread.
And i'm very english, and have been on many foreign holidays.
Tar and brush..........
smack:tongueout:
whip::whip:

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Curry and chips don't sound all that bad .... does it come with fries:confused:;)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Like Margaret, I make my own bread too. It's easy enough to stick the ingredients into the machine and turn it on. I find shop bought bread very salty nowadays and the consistency is very doughy. Even more expensive brands fall short of homemade bread and added to that, homemade is much cheaper than shop bought.

I also make rolls of different sorts and although they involve a little more work, they are great to stick in the freezer and use when needed.

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Ya cherokee can remember that too, Continental Bakeries, didn't mater what time you went past that lovely smell was in air, It used to give me an apatite on the way home from the Stop and Rest or the Heys Inn at night:)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Didn't know Curry came with anything else but chips Eric:D

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Also comes with heartburn and the runs;)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I have had the same problem with kingsmill which i bought from asda. i had in the bread bin for less than 2 days and it started to grow mould, i might just try keeping it in the fridge from now on, cant believe it for the price of it

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

My bread machine is a Morphy Richards stainless steel model.
As bread machine owners know, the types of bread which can be produced are limited by the need for the precice measurement of ingredients, and we tend to be limited to produce the breads which are listed in the recipe book which comes with the machine.

By experiment I have devised a bread machine recipe for Brioche and will pass it on to any of you who have the same machine.

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

has anyone else noticed that the bread does stale first at the hole at the bottom where the mixer doobly is in the bread maker? or is it just my bread?

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

My machine has a mixer paddle that moves into a flat position after the kneading cycles - so that the hole is lessened and only affects the crust slice.

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

wow thats a bit posh . Mine has a hole most way through:(

Mind it is an old one.. havent used it in a while

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Unless you happen to be an experienced baker. I knew my past life would come in useful one day. :D

I'd think that your recipe would work in most machines, as they are all quite similar. I have a Panasonic SD253 that I've had for about 5 years now. It's been brilliant and when it finally goes to the big oven in the sky, I'll definitely be buying another. Hope it keeps working for a long time now. :)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Ok Ok - I am already convinced that you are god's gift to womankind:D

I like a soft crust (easier on the false teeth) so I always drape a damp cloth over a newly baked loaf

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

In Spain the bread is absolute crap....A barra lasts for about 3 hours...after that...you need a drill to get into it.

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Stale bread is a small price to pay for the wonderful climate:D

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

I'll go for that Eric.....Makes wonderful 'Pobbies' :rolleyes:

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

well buy kingsmill instead of bimbo ya tight git.:D;)

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

:D here calm down missus..this is a family forum! :D

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Always buy Warbies and have never had a problem unlike other cheaper brands.
Yes its expensive but totally worth it in my eyes,i love bread even if too much can be bad for you!

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

Usually get Warbies, but if I do get mould, I just chop it off and eat it anyway...:D Same goes for cheese...:D

Re: Mouldy Bread
 

We cut it off too!
Anyway i thought it was supposed to be good for you!
Isn't it ammonia that makes mould or am i going mad?
