I have been buying the ready mix packets , you just add warm water and chuck the mix in and switch on . Its ok but a bit tasteless  :(

The ready mix are fine unless you feel a little adventurous, it doesn't take long to weigh out 500g of flour, teaspoon of yeast, salt, sugar and 350 ml of water and probably alot cheaper. I think strong white flour in LIDL is 50p, enough for four loaves :y

a 50 50 mix of bread flour and plain flour will make good French bread.  Not without yeast though.   You could try a sourdough i.e. no added yeast, using natural yeast in the air, not sure how it'll work with 100% plain flour.  Also it'll take a lot longer to rise - overnight in a coolish place.

When you leave biscuits out of the tin they go soft.

When you leave cake out of the tin it goes hard

Why? ??? ??? ??? ???

Just get baking and stop worrying  yourself ;) ;D ;D

Biscuits are dry to start with so absorb moisture, cake is moist so dries out. QED :y

Do they eventually meet at a mid-point of moist/dryness and become cascuits? Biskes? Cakuits? ;D
