"This receipe was easy to follow although it was very sticky and I had to add more flour next time I will add the water slowly and not put as much in. The breadcake were lovely though and very light"

"Is the amount of water correct ? It usually is half the amount of flour and I found this so sticky it was impossible to hand kneed"

Bakingmad: "thank you for noticing, I think the amount of water should be 400ml, it's a typo. I've changed it now."

"This turned out really nice - I preferred it when I let the dough rise and knocked back before making into rolls and letting rise again. Made 12 rolls"

"Think this may have been me. Did not turn out well was not happy with the flavour. However I will try again to see if it was me"
