That is one tall bread maker you have there. Is it bread for a giraffe?
-
Oooh, fankee Sheepie!
-
just a short step now to make wine from water and fish-o-plenty.
-
dough!
-
Your bread looks very nice neilep - but I have to say, from it's shape, it looks a bit as though it's been baked in a toilet cistern. [;D]
-
We have a bread making machine that makes bread similar to Neil's - my 2 favourite loaves are onion and bacon, and cinnamon and raisin. The last one is best sliced and toasted with lashings of butter!
-
There are lots of loaves in Chipping Norton - all the inhabitants are in-bread!
-
Thats the biggest loaf of bread I have ever seen!

Don't be so skeptical. He probably learned miracles as part of the family traditions - he is Jewish, ya know.
-
...... with lashings of butter!
Please enlighten us! What is the process of making a butter whip?
-
Neil, do you have the recipe fo a good flax seed bread? I have been looking for one for a long time.
-
Isn't flax some sort of natural fibre. Won't the bread be a bit chewy and constipating? It might be good to eat if you've accidentally swollowed a pin
-
Flax is linseed - it'll taste likes someones marinaded a cricket bat in it. [;D]
-
Oh, but thee flax seeds, when ground to make a flour, is VERY tasty.

I can believe it, mrs blakestyger takes a teaspoonful of flax oil every day to ease something or other. I tasted it once and was immediately transported back to the sound of leather on willow and balmy summer afternoons.
-
How's that?
-
Were you bowled over by the taste?
-
Were you stumped for words?
-
I was on bail at the time.
-
oh? You got caught did you?
-
Good grief!!! There'e Neil loafing around and everyone else seems to have gone batty!!!
-
Don't slip up
-
or crease up laughing.
-
Ohhhh! Duck it!
-
Oh, did you slip on a sticky wicket, whilst trying to bowl a maiden over? I'd go into deep cover if I were you, and go and watch the box.
-
That put a new spin on it
-
Did you get all these references from Googlie?
-
Ohhhh! Duck it!
I think I came close to the boundary there!
-
Had you not kept it inside the rope, you may have been hit for six. There were no ball's ups there then.
-
But for the Grace of God, there go I.
-
Unless there's a boycott.
-
Are you trying to beefy up this thread?
-
No, he wants Lamb (at least that's what a little Dickie Bird told me).
-
or some Shepherds pie. Just make sure it's not Warne out - I don't want to start a Waugh
-
Which brings us nicely back to the sheepy who started this thread, which I think had summat to do with his skills as a baker. I just hope that bread doesn't give him the runs!
-
There appears to be something amiss with this. Surely this is scraping the botham of the barrel. Now, I like cricket alott, it certainly rings my bell, but to butcher a thread in such a way is snow joke. Stop behaving like a hick and bring this to a close.

For ball-tampering. [:I]

The 'Amiss' & 'Botham' puns are bad enough for this thread, but did you have to pitch in with butchers and snow? You've opened a whole new can of worms now! There'll be a barage of new puns ballooning now!!!
-
It SEAMs this thread has been perverted. We've already had beef & lamb. We don't want any pigs too so we'd better put up a HOG GUARD. WILLEY be deterred by that? He will if he's a COWARDREY.

LOL..don't forget Hick, Close, Bell and Alott....

I'm HOLDING my breath in anticipation.

I do wish you had let that go by.
-
I would if I were SOBERs

Good grief..... I honestly did catch that lot.

Oval the cricket puns in the world, we must have them all here, or is the night watchman coming on now?
-
Oh good LORDs!
-
Don't set the Barlow. We can begin Agnew since there are Adams-ite more puns to be Cook-ed up. Be Fairbrother, we can Cope. I'm sure we can Foster some Dilley-s and Cork-ers.
-
Very TRUE, MAN. But we could WAITE WEEKES. Maybe we should MARSHALL our resources.
-
There seems to be quite enough Wisden here, we're not stumped yet!
-
Thinking about it, what would be an apt funeral for a cricketer? And possibly this thread?
Umm, pyre?
-
This thread contains too many silly point (http://www.channel4.com/sport/cricket/analyst/fielding/ana_85.html)s.
-
Well, I think we should all apologise to that poor sheepy. He started telling us about his loaf of bread and we have completely and utterly hijacked his thread. We should all feel utterly ashamed, I mean, it’s just not cricket (https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fbestsmileys.com%2Fmouthzippedshut%2F2.gif&hash=9659f5b28cddab74c96c709deae0d887)
-
Balls to that [:P]
-
I've just shown my husband this thread and he laughed so much that he has a sticky mid-off. I'll get a tissue.
-
Sounds like he needs some extra cover
-
Sounds like he needs a good innings to me!
Did he make a mess of his leg stump?
-
Maybe he's into reverse swinging [:D]
-
the only thing worse than cricket puns is English cricket puns.
*runs away*

Hot Cross Puns?

Ash not very nice, is it!

The boy stood on the burning deck,
Playing a game of cricket.
The ball went up his trouser leg,
And hit his middle wicket.

OK, time to CUT the crap and make a clean SWEEP of things. I'm OFF for a DRIVE. BYE.

Let's hook up later

Are you PROPositioning me? (OK, that's a rugby reference - SO SUE ME! [:(!] )
-
No, I just think we should scrum down at some silly point and play with our oddly shaped balls. We could invite a third man?
-
Hockey-dockey
-
I see that you've widened the field. So now we can play ball with all sorts across the ball park. (Did I just bring in sweets, there?)
-
When Neil sees what we've done to his thread he'll be HURLING insults at us.
-
He'll be, like, well lacrosse, innit

Yeah! we'll be snookered
-
Maybe we should POOL our resources
-
Is that the CUE for a song?
-
I'm just going to put my hands in my pockets and play with my balls.

Ah! The age old sport of 'pocket snooker', I hope you don't get arrested

He wouldbn't be in custody FURLONG (horse racing now?)

Sing along now.....

See her walking down that street,
Well I ask you very confidentially,
Aintree sweet.'

We can't let DON CAST Aspersions. I think he needs a dose of EPSOM salts.

Jim Bob... Flaxseed Bread..! This is really good bread.. I have baked it.. very soft and yummy and good for you.. I got it from the internet some time ago....but it is a good one.. I think they called it "The worlds best flaxseed bread"... Here it is.. You might try to google it too as they had some good tips about flaxseed ... assuming its still on the web.. probably is!
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 3/4 cups of warm water
1/8 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Canola oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup flaxseed meal
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1. Dissolve your yeast in the warm water. This takes about 5 minutes -- the water will become creamy-looking.
2. Add to this the sugar, oil, salt, flaxseed meal and one cup of whole wheat flour. Mix this with your spoon till it's incorporated -- really easy to do.
3. Now, add in the other cup of whole wheat flour and stir... then add in your one cup of all-purpose flour. Mix till it holds together -- this will only take a minute or two.
4. Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer
, put in the dough and let the mixer knead this dough for AT LEAST 10 minutes. Set the timer. If it kneads it for 12 minutes, no problem. If you don't have a stand mixer, then knead by hand on a floured countertop for about 10 - 15 minutes.
5. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and put the dough into it, then spray the top of it. You just want to moisten the outside of it so it won't stick to the bowl.
6. Let it rise till it has FULLY DOUBLED. Depending on the temperature, this could happen in about an hour, or upwards of two hours. Focus on the dough, not the time -- when it has doubled, then you're ready to go.
7. Spray a bread pan (9" X 5") with cooking spray.
8. Punch down your dough (don't knead it any more) and put it into your bread pan. Shape it with your oil-covered hands so it fits snugly into the pan.
9. Let the bread rise till it has come up about 1 1/2 inches above the top of the pan.
10. Preheat the oven to 350F -- bake the bread for about 40 - 45 minutes. Once it's done, put it on your counter to cool for about 5 minutes.
11. Remove it from the bread pan (it comes out easily) and let it come to room temperature (if you can wait that long!) or at least till it's only barely warm so it will easily slice.

You can grind 2/3 cup of flax seed to get one cup of flaxseed meal in the food processor.. take it down to cornmeal size.
