• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Bread machine missing flour

That looks grand.

Malc, thanks for that. But I have to say that the glowing report therein has not been our experience, not by a long chalk. In fact the whole food thing in France has been disappointing. We were talking about this with our French tutor, Annie, and she (and others have told us the same thing) that things started to change a few years ago. There is a lot more factory farming in France than there used to be, and quality has suffered as a result. It's not that the good stuff doesn't exist any more, it's just that it is more of a challenge to find it. If you just buy everything from Intermarché you'll get what you are given and be grateful.
 
I buy 16kg of Malthouse Light from Shipton mill for a little over £14. We usually collect it, as it's a short drive. I buy yeast(Red Dragon or something) in quantity and keep it in the freezer, filling an empty Coleman's mustard jar to keep in the cupboard. 3 cups flour, 1.5 cups water, 1/2 tsp yeast, 1/2 tsp salt. In the bread machine on wholewheat rapid bake(if I don't select Rapid Bake, it ends up too light for my taste, I like my bread fairly dense)if I'm busy, or no knead method in the Le Creuset.

Any improvement in the missed flour mystery…?

That was a while back, Mark; since then, we bought a new machine, and the missing flour mystery became the missing air bubbles mystery. :)Sorted now, thanks to suggestions here.

D'oh! Sorry about that, I was reading it but didn't check the dates, and I've got some kind of raging seasonal bug which is impairing my faculties!

LOL, youre not alone!! Maybe because I am new to this forum that I am reading old threads and just wanting to comment on them! Another Shipton Mill fan here by the way - starting using them when I lived down south and still use them to ship flour up to us here in NE Scotland.
