Thanks, Kamla!! When the going gets tough, only the tough gets going!! Today's Hindu carries the news that two super bug patients have carried the infection to the US. Thank God, I am confined to Chennai! :biggrin2: Love, C
Dear Kanaka, It is great to read that you bake breads regularly!:thumbsup I do all my baking in Samsung microwave convection oven only. For breads, I use aluminium or non-stick or now silicon moulds.Do not use plastic. Bread breaks apart 1-if the dough is slightly loose 2 - if the dough has over-risen. Try allowing time & cut the next day. It is better. Thanks & love, C.
