Emile Henry Bread Loaf Baker EH345504 4 "My first loaf failed!" Mrs Harrison 11 August 2020 1st attempt I used stone ground flour from a local mill. It was a basic white loaf using 14g dried yeast. During cooking the loaf rose so much that it pushed the lid up, the exposed sides burned, and the crust stuck to the lid. 2nd attempt - same recipe with suermarket bought flour, again the loaf rose - not to the same extent. Burned sides and stuck to the lid, although after leaving for 10 minutes it released nicely. 3rd attempt - back to the local flour and half the yeast. Success! - a nice loaf, good shape, crusty top and fluffy inside. Easy to clean, and baked on crust merely soaks off.
Emile Henry Bread Loaf Baker EH345504 4 "Good for yeasted and Sourdough loaves" Mrs Watkinson 06 August 2020 I was given this loaf baker as I am a keen baker. I found it worked well for a yeasted loaf as well as a sourdough loaf. It is very attractive and would certainly make a great gift. It is very easy to use as you put dough in the baker after bulk prove. I baked yeasted loaf for 40 minutes and it was done when tested. With the sourdough loaf I left the loaf in the fridge overnight and then put It in a cold oven and baked for 50 mins. The loaves came out with a crisp crust. It’s a better shape for sandwiches too. You do need to put some oil and flour in the baker before use so it doesn’t stick.
