Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Folks, I attempted to make this bread yesterday with my daughter, Jo-Ling. We sub 3/4 cup as 8 Oz, 1/3 Cup as 3 Oz & 1/2 cup as 4 Oz. We did find that the mixture was rather dry, so we added an extra banana, since our banana used was medium size. When it was ready, we had what looks like a " crumble " :-( The Crumble was so hard. We smashed it up, made a pretty paper bag and eat it as " sweets " , lol :-) Now, we are curious, where did we go wrong? :-((( Best Wishes, Wee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi Wee Sorry to hear about your sweet rice bread disaster. I think that part of your problem is that a cup is a measure of volume rather than of weight. So a cup of flour will weigh different from a cup of, say, butter. I haven't tried that particular recipe myself. You need to use a conversion link to convert each of the different items into weight measurements - I think you will find a link to one in the links folder. I saw that Lakeland and John Lewis now sell cup measures which might be an easier option to conversion, although I find I've now got accustomed to the precision of grams and mils. I have a rather good chart which I must have found online somewhere which gives metric and imperial weight measurement equivalents for a large number of items. I could email that to you if it would help. HTH Christie , " Wee K Chew " <techiewee wrote: > > Folks, > > I attempted to make this bread yesterday with my daughter, Jo- Ling.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Dear Christie, I just got in from a whole day's work at the hospital. Mind, I had to drop in on an old lady to see to her TV/VCR combo on the way home. She was hallucinating that she saw horizontal lines on the telly. On arrival, I saw nothing and told her daughter, Marian to ring me on Saturday at 11am. I will then dash over to install my loaner and bring hers back here to service. It's so kind of you to offer me the conversion chart. Yes please, I could use one right now :-) Please email it to me, Thanks :-)_ Do you think I could leave out the dry fruits on this recipe? Is it a good idea? I don't particularly like eating dry fruits :-( I prefer bread that feels like bread and not this one-inch high bread. If I add Bicarbonate Soda, will I get the bread to rise more. What about adding more yeast and letting it rise in a warm place first ?? I like to have your opinion.
