"Yummy milk loaf" star star star star star I bought my Mermaid Milk Loaf Tin yesterday and made my first loaf (using the first recipe of the two on the packaging) this morning - and it's yummy! The pan is easy to use, and the loaf looks good.
"Grease and flour well!" star star star star star First time I used it the bread stuck, but the second time I buttered and floured every millimetre of the insides and used a bit less dough - about 625 grams of white dough made with very strong flour and milk and it came out beautifully. I would suggest taking the bread out and popping it back in the oven for five minutes at the end to help the sides to brown too.
"does what it says on the tin!" star star star star star I purchased this (half price) after reading the other reviews. I used the recipe from my breadmaker for milk loaf and it has turned out brilliantly.Having a dairy intolerance, I have not tried the bread myself, but coming home from work the day after I make the loafs (3 so far), I find that it has all been eaten - no greater recommendation than that.The shape is great and the little peep hole ensures that you pop it in the oven when the dough has risen sufficiently.Word to the wise - don't panic if the catch seems loose when you put the dough in. As soon as the dough has risen, the catch tightens up.
