1st attempt BREAD scoring with a BLADE, artisan BREAD on a BUDGET

well trying to properly score bread with my new toy - a BREAD LAME!!
always room for improvement and I cannot wait to have another go. Really loved the addition of Rosemary to the bread. More flavours planned, because I am dying to practice with my new bread lame.
this is the one I used:

Rosemary & Olive Oil Artisan Bread Ingredients
500g strong white bread flour (plus extra for dusting)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
7g dried yeast
2 tbsp fresh Rosemary, roughly chopped
2 tbsp Olive oil
Tip flour, dried yeast, salt, pepper & chopped rosemary into a large bowl - mix to combine.
Boil kettle and pour 100ml into a jug, add 200ml cold water (water should be perfect temp) add olive oil to the jug.
Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour all the water into the bowl. Mix until roughly combined.
Dust surface and scrape out the dough onto the floured surface. It will be rough and sticky.
Oil bowl and set aside.
Dust dough and start kneading, push away fold over, turn and repeat. You will find your own technique. Knead for 5/10 mins and pop into oiled bowl, cover and pop in a warm place for a few hours.
The dough should have doubled in size, scrape out onto a floured surface and knock back (gets rid of air bubbles) shape into an oval shape and cut in the middle (if making 2 loaves) shape each into a round (or play with shapes if you wish)
Pop onto a floured crisper plate or baking tray (also floured) and leave to rise for 30 mins/1 hour.
Once it's risen, dust with flour and score with a sharp knife or blade. Let your bread creativity take over!
Ninja Dual: BAKE setting, 200c/390f 15mins, turn over for 3 mins to finish bottom off
COSORI oven: BAKE setting 200c/390f *18/20+ mins, add a few mins to do the bottom if you think it needs it
*for a thicker crust 25mins should be good
other AFs: same settings/temp as above and similar timings - just check 5 mins before end just in case and you may need to add mins
Leave to cool completely before slicing and ENJOY!

Wonderful results for the air fryer bread. I’m going to have a go.❤

[@dianacfleming]

Those look great. I'm surprised at how well they did in the air fryer!

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Diana👋😀💕

[@j.brewer7717]

Hi Kerry, love this quick and easy recipe and looks very tasty😋 Don't beat yourself up with the scoring. For your first attempt that was good. Fresh bread & cheese or soup, that's me gone🙆😋😋 See you on the next one, byee 👋Jen 💕😘xx

[@budgetcookinguk]

I will keep practicing Jen💪😀💕thank you xxx

[@juliebajwa721]

Delicious Kerry. You would pay a small fortune for one of those in a posh bakery.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Julie😀💕That's true, over a fiver for sure😄

[@trowbridgeist]

Hi There Dear Kerry , Bread looks Good and the cost of making your own Bread save you so much money and The flavour Delicious Xxxx

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you👋😀💕it helps the rosemary was free but even if that cost is factored in, it'll be a lot cheaper still

[@jennifermharvey9882]

Wow I could do with one of these especially for scoring crackling on my pork xxxx

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh that's a good use of those! I like that idea Jennifer 😀👍💕

[@geminil2415]

I understand dried active yeast must be bloomed in water or milk. Easy bake or the many fast acting yeasts go straight into the flour.

[@wildthing6668813]

I make bread buns in my Ninja and do 15 minutes on the top and 5 minutes on the bottom. I always put the yeast in the warm water with a tablespoon of sugar and leave for 15 minutes before making the dough.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Sounds fab😀👍👍

[@Mazza240]

You’ll have to make your own butter to go with the bread. John kirkwood has a couple of butter recipes that I’ve been making for a few years. Lovely salted butter. I then buy nordpak from Aldi to use on mashed potatoes etc.

[@budgetcookinguk]

I've seen that butter recipe on John Kirkwoods channel 😀👍👍amazing! He uses a stand mixer, I've only a handheld mixer (need a stand mixer lol) not sure if it would work with my little handheld one. Birthday has been and gone, but I'll start dropping hints for xmas 😄👍

[@christinegitsham5268]

Hello Kerry this is such an easy bread to make, no fussing that's what we all like. The bread looks delicious.😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you very much Christine👋😀💕really enjoyed the challenge, def have more bread variations coming 😋😋

[@sandrabalmer-bb5xq]

It looks fantastic Kerry thanks for sharing x

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Sandra 👋😀💕

[@geminil2415]

Jack the Baker says to make your cuts with your blade on the diagonal and not to cut straight down. He has a video on it.

[@Bevieevans8]

Costa coffee or whatever coffee shop you prefer wood stirrer and a sharp razor blade. A lot cheaper than a lame. Plus refrigerate your dough 20 mins before scoring and you'll get better results

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh top tip thanks so much😀👍💕

[@gailgulliver8970]

Thank you Kerry they both looked lovely. That Lam is pronounced Larm…x

[@budgetcookinguk]

Larm!! Thank you so much Gail👋😀💕

[@michaelbratton3319]

Don't panic about your scoring it'll come good with practise?for crunchier crusts spritze the loafs with water just before you shut the door/drawer to cook?they still looked lovely?from BIGMICK IN HULL

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh thank you Mick, top tip I will def try that next time😀👍💕am very late, catching up here😅

[@Cariadog1]

Looks delicious! I bet you save a fortune baking your own. I was with a friend in M&S and she picked up a teeny tiny sour dough loaf and it was £4.00!! My Dada always shaved with Wilkinson Sword razor blades. Not sure if they still make them. Its all safety razors today

[@budgetcookinguk]

Wowza £4! I think you can get sword razors still, it's been suggested a few times here so I will def get some. Thank you😀👍💕

[@billy4072]

Digital thermometer probe ..less than 15 £ ish.. bread is done at 87c. Eases the tension . ..

[@budgetcookinguk]

That's v helpful thank you😀👍👍

[@phillloyd5233]

Absolutely lovely bread! Thanks! 😊

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Phil😀👍much appreciated

[@baccibee1]

Very well done Kerry ! I have a couple of small sourdough loaves in the ninja as I write and I scraunched the top of them with an old , old blade . You have persuaded me to get anew lame from Amazon! Your loaves look lovely, I think you did really well. Thanks a lot …happy “slashing”! ( that sounds bad !) XxRuth

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aw thank you Ruth!👋😀💕am catching up here

[@jacqg3777]

They look fab....going to try and make some.

Kerry, Good job looks a good as bakery could turn out, i been watching for along time and i think your going from strenghth to strength, and i know u bought that bread strip tool for your bread, but i could do with a haircut if your up for it!

[@budgetcookinguk]

They look awesome and will give it a go

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Linda 😀💕💕

[@annesoper911]

I use my oven with the light on to proof my bread.I seldom preheat the oven, just turn it on with raw bread inside. I remove bread from pan and finish cooking bread on the oven rack to ensure underside is done.Sometimes I have a pan of boiling water in oven while bread is baking. Your bread looks amazing!

[@budgetcookinguk]

Ahh I meant to add some water to the AFs while cooking🤦‍♀️😄, will try that next time. Good idea, proving in the oven with the light on Anne😀👍💕 thank you

[@donnavaliante7089]

Both bread designs look great as well as texture. Slash out word Val for Valerie..the other one slash US.fir your family.😂. Seriously, with your artistic art work, im excited to see other slashings. Love that your window sill and the netting allowed for a nice rise. Oh, you look great in the plum colored top 😉.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww thank you Donna😀💕💕 I definitely want to improve the bread scoring, some of the designs I've seen online are amazing 😀👍

[@TheRisdene]

Looks yummo! I made your no knead olive and rosemary bread as part of my OH’s birthday lunch and it was devoured and declared delicious, as indeed it is - we love it with homemade soup and it went beautifully with his special birthday cheese!!! ❤ Sx

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh that's lovely Sally, happy belated birthday to your OH!!🎂💕

[@Mazza240]

It all comes down to practise. One or two scores without being too heavy handed is usually fine and don’t go too deep.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you😀👍💕will keep practicing, good news is we can eat the results lol.

[@IloveMK]

Looks amazing Kerry, you always make me hungry when you bake/cook I wish I could do that.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww thank you David😀💕💕sorry this reply is late!!

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

Evening Kerry, wow, those loaves didn't half fairly rise. I can just imagine the smell from your kitchen when they were cooking 😋😋. I need to find a suitable ww bread recipe. I've got wholemeal bread flour. I just need to work out if it's better for me to make my own 🫣. Practice makes perfect with the designs. Oh, clover is my favourite, not that I eat it now, lol. Job well done, Kerry, those look delicious. I hope Valarie enjoyed her bread. Have a lovely evening. Xxx Jacs 💚❤️

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww she loved it Jacs, I'm so late with replies, massive catch up lol. Hows about this? It's more soda bread but uses wholemeal flour www.weightwatchers.com/uk/recipe/soda-bread/5ced319d45077b00164baf77 Hope you, colin & harrison are well💕💕💕

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

@budgetcookinguk I thought she would Kerry, och don't be silly you never have to reply, you know I just blabber away on here 🤣🤣. Would you belive that's the recipe I've got saved, going to make it this weekend. I've had a demand for my 3 Ingredient peanut butter cookies and my ginger & oat cookies, I need to make them tomorrow to take to Ww on Thursday, BTW got my 2 stone award last week 🙌 10 weeks it's taken me and I am loving the changes I'm making. Xxx 💚❤️

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

Ps Colin & Harrison are great thank you. Hope Al & the boys are, not forgetting Rosie too xxx 💚❤️

[@Catherine-Crevice]

I "knead" to have a go at making this bread Kerry. Puns aside, it looks fabulous! 😋😋😋

They both looked great. You can't beat the taste of home made bread. I always used to make my own but I am the only one who eats bread and that's only very occasionally, even though I love bread. Ten out of ten.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aw thank you so much😀💕💕

[@karentoynton8948]

Well that blade was sharp, boy you would not like your fingers around thst would you. Hehe but the bread looked delicious. Thanks for sharing worth a go , but for me without that blade hehe first attempt looked great. I think sun dried peppers would be nice just a little added .

[@budgetcookinguk]

Keep the fingers out of the way Karen😄👍💕aww thank you, am thinking of something along those lines for the next bread bake😋😋😋

[@user-rp9px1vb1n]

Hi Kerry, Linda here, oh wow they look so easy to make they look delicious that’s before I saw them cooked . Now watching them being cooked 😊

Thanks so much Linda, the flecks of rosemary did look fab I thought. I love chives, must try bread with that one day😋😋😀👍💕

Yes definitely Kerry, chives is a good idea and so is garlic ❤️😊

[@KarenGilbert-xb2tg]

Kerry your bread looks amazing and you will get better with the scoring to love the tool you used think it would also work with a knife to but the bread did look so soft and fluffy to bet it tasted has good has it looked

Great video as usual, liking the way you break down the costs, easy to follow instructions, even for someone like myself, 😁, wondering if you've done a marmite loaf yet, as every time I walk past Winnie's bakery in Weston, my mouth drools at that lovely marmite marbling inside the loaf, bit too expensive to have regularly. Cheers keep up the great vids. 😀😉😉👏👏👏

I'm not sure but I might try that with the next bread make - do you mean on 2nd rise or first? 😀👍💕

[@user-qs1cn5ry5i]

Hi Kerry, I was thinking of making the dough in the evening, then leaving in the fridge overnight, this would be after the first proove.
