Just thought i'd post an update on my second attempt at the chocolate loaf. Didn't work out. I think me and the recipe just aren't good. So, anyone who wants to try and has better luck please teach me how to do it. Right now though, I just had a maccas burger and I feel slightly better. I know, i should be avoiding wheat but I'm sad, and I've been wanting a burger for AGES. Anyway, I'm going to try Nigella Lawson's recipe for dinner rolls tomorrow, maybe i'll have more luck yes?
On the bright side, I got to eat up all the icing off the loaves. Now I feel a teensy bit bad, but icing is goooooooood. =)
UPDATE:
After reading a million and one sites on bread making and all things related I realized a huge possibility as to why my bread SUCKED was because I didn't knead it enough. I was worried that I might 'overwork' the mixture. Too much cake baking, the paranoia of over working a mixer is there. Tomorrow I will be more vicious and work it baby! heh, I'm totally psyched out now. I know I should be using spelt flour but I think I'll start with oragnic white flour first. I know, bad for me, but it's not THAT bad. I wanna succeed more than anything. =) WISH ME LUCK!

Hey, don't be discouraged. Bread baking is tough. I have the worst problem making bread with soft crusts. Whether it is chelsea bun or a milk bun all my bread comes out crusty. Of course, in some cases this is desirable but it is upsetting when it is not what I gunning for. On the topic of Nigella's rolls, DO try them! They were my first successful bread baking experience. :-) Good luck!
Thanks babe! =) I'm all psyched out for success today! hehee.
You don't know me, but I read your blog, its awesome. I really love making bread and had some trouble the first few times in my new apartment. I found the problem was that it didn't rise correctly, because the kitchen wasn't warm enough. Now, I make a little contraption by putting a cookie rack on top of a pan of water set on the oven at low heat. I put my bowl of dough on the rack and the warm humidity does wonders...there is a post on my blog about a sunflower seed / orange bread that I made..you should check it out :)
LUCK!!
