Hey master baker Mike we adopted some of your methods to our pizza dough, made a hell of a difference, absolute shame to see our country town bakery’s disappearing, nothing better than fresh bread, pies and cakes, cheers Craig

[@masterbakermike3725]

Craig Hanrahan Great to hear from you yes hard to find an old baker like me still going stay safe 👍

[@grahamc1088]

I can assure you that this bread is the real deal. Mike passed one of the loves over the fence for me to try. Excellent, the best bread that I can remember having. I put aside a couple of slices to have with my breakfast but they had disappeared overnight. Looks like my wife liked it too. My turn now to try my hand at baking . Perhaps I'll pass a loaf back over the fence to the Master Baker Mike.

No not as far as I know. 👍

[@christinadidi10]

Great recipe! I will give that a go! Can you please let me know if I can skip the bread improver or replace it with something else as it is not easy to find it?

[@masterbakermike3725]

You can bye it on line eBay makes the bread so much better I would not make bread without it 👍

[@CliveStevens-rv9oz]

What is bread improver Mike,and where do you buy it,

[@masterbakermike3725]

Most major stores have it or on line if you google it will explain well give you a whiter crumb and helps develop the gluten better 👍

[@CliveStevens-rv9oz]

@@masterbakermike3725 thankyou

[@dappasnappa75]

What is bread improver ? What does the package look like n where do I get it lolol?

[@masterbakermike3725]

Alexandra Allen Hi it help condition the gluten in the flour it gives your bread a softer and whiter crumb can get online 👍

[@mandapark9667]

Does it affect the yeast by working it 4-5 times through the mixure if it’s a cold day? Or does it survive because it’s already activated?

[@masterbakermike3725]

No it doesn’t you must develop the gluten in the flour to make good bread the yeast will start working as soon as you let rest for at least one hour good luck Mike.

[@mandapark9667]

Master Baker Mike Made a couple of great loaves thanks to you. Can’t wait to see what else you have coming in the future

[@masterbakermike3725]

No the ideal temperature to finish the dough is 25 C or 78 Fahrenheit yeast will die if it gets to hot and if to cold won’t rise 👍

[@jefflittle6523]

When you cut the recipe in half, do I cut the amount of yeast in half also?

[@masterbakermike3725]

Jeff Little yes you do hope all good 👍

[@MrTjcomedy]

What is bread improver? Is there another name ?

[@masterbakermike3725]

MrTjcomedy no not that I know you can get it online 👍

[@MrTjcomedy]

Master Baker Mike isvv CCV it like baking powder?

[@masterbakermike3725]

MrTjcomedy no you can get online makes your bread so much better 👍

[@catalinaivan7046]

What is bread improver? Never heard of it before. Is it necessary ?

[@thunderlips350]

Me either but then I bought a bread machine and every single recipe in the book say's to add bread improver. I suppose it must help. From Google..."The main ingredient in bread improver is yeast. It usually also contains emulsifiers, which help to make the loaf soft and fluffy. It may also contain an enzyme which can improve the texture of the bread as well as help it to last longer, or asorbic acid (vitamin C), which can help the dough to rise. "

[@invertedIfly]

300ml or 600ml of water, you say 300 but list 600

[@masterbakermike3725]

Yes 600 mills total 👍

[@saphmel2]

I know this is an annoying question, but the method, can you please put it up with your recipes as I'd like to print it to take into kitchen. My house isn't an open plan, built 1913. Otherwise I would put you on pause.
