Hi again everyone
I'm afraid I have another question for you all. I've just made the Molasses
Wheat Bread from one of Donna German's cook books (the only bread machine
book I seem to be able to get in England at present). The bread calls for
1.5 tb honey and 1.5 tb molasses in a 1 lb loaf. It rose well, but when I
took it out of the machine the crust had separated from the bread, so if I
wanted I could easily have peeled off the top and bottom crusts. Does anyone
know why this is? Is it because of the high sugar content? The whole recipe
follows so that you can have some idea perhaps of what may have gone wrong.
