:lol: Not as far as I'm aware Ryan... No, I'm having work carried out to replace two teeth that are now beyond repair :)

My search for the Holy Grail - decent gluten-free bread - has finally had some success :)

To do so, I needed to invest in a Panasonic mini bread maker and then find a decent recipe....

After a few false starts, the much lauded Becky Excell recipe, with small modifications, was found to work well :)

A loaf that tastes good, has a good texture and is not stuffed full of additives. Result :cool:

Jim, would you be able to share your tweaks to the recipe? Asking on behalf of a friend 😉

Yes, with pleasure Mike :)

I used this as the basis:

https://glutenfreecuppatea.co.uk/2021/0 ... af-recipe/

Firstly, I halved all the ingredients as my breadmaker is too small for Becky's full-size loaf. I don't want a big loaf anyway as I cannot use it all before it goes stale.

As I'm lactose intolerant, I swapped the milk 1:1 for almond 'milk'.

I substituted balsamic vinegar for the apple cider vinegar and demerara sugar for the castor sugar. When prompted by the breadmaker I added a good dose of assorted seeds - chia, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame and caraway.

Going forward, I'll be experimenting by substituting the egg with chickpea (gram) flour, adding psyllium husk (for added fibre - something a lot of GF foods lack) and plant-based (not soya) protein powder as again, a lot of commercial GF food lacks enough. My needs are admittedly perhaps more due to my active lifestyle...

The breadmaker I use is the Panasonic SD-PN100:

Yesterday I enjoyed a very happy and interesting hour or so at Pleiades :D Martin is a wealth of knowledge on everything to do with spheres and Citroen hydraulics in general; I learned a lot...

There is no such thing as a quick visit to Pleiades :lol: Martin and his colleagues see to that. On their Facebook page they say to call them with any enquiries as they're friendly and like to talk. That's absolutely true :D

The trip there with roadworks at the A14/A1 junction and the Black Cat works ongoing made the journey a bit tedious but well worth it :D

And it likely gave my van's DPF a good opportunity to regenerate :)

Sorry for breaking your bread making thread 😅😅😅
Good day everyone I want to ask if I can use central hydraulic system fluid (CHF 11s) in the actuator it very difficult to source for the tetula Cs speed or the ravenol GHF fluid here in Nigeria
I made research of other manufacturers who uses the same concept of transmission like the dual logic which is made from the same magneti marelli i.e Suzuki…..which uses ecstar AMT fluid for the Suzuki cars


Any suggestions would be much appreciated
