Mine didn’t rise as high as hoped, but I’ll try to fix that next time. I also used two tablespoons of fennel seed instead of the two teaspoons called for below.

Or, if you want to be more precise, 100 ml of flour weighs 60 grams, so 1 litre would be 600 grams (or 0.6 kg) <br /><br />I hope you'll enjoy the bread - it's lovely for the cooler autumn days!Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-64076057328926434592011-09-14T13:21:07.202+03:002011-09-14T13:21:07.202+03:00It looks lovely, and I will make some soon but wha...It looks lovely, and I will make some soon but what do you mean by 1 Litre of flour.Here in the uk litres would be liquid measurements.Do you have a measurement in Killograms ?Sallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04698162072086210778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-33563620099451371432007-11-22T10:27:00.000+02:002007-11-22T10:27:00.000+02:00Wendy – oh, that might be a little too much fennel...Wendy – oh, that might be a little too much fennel at once :) But separately, each would be great!<BR/><BR/>Annemarie – I need to give fennel tea with honey another go!<BR/><BR/>Anh – well, you’d be most welcome!<BR/><BR/>Rosa – that’s exactly the case. It’d be excellent even with a rather simple soup, as the flavour is quite strong.<BR/><BR/>Meeta – it was very soft, and nicely textured indeed. Surprisingly so, considering the simplicity of the recipe.<BR/><BR/>Lobstersquad – exactly – somehow the aniseediness of this bread doesn’t bother me. Must be some kind of baking magic!<BR/><BR/>Jeanne – I loooove caraway – even more than I like fennel. I don’t think there’s anything remotely aniseedy about caraway, but maybe that’s just me :) Fennel as a herb used to drive me mad in Scotland. I bought it a few times by mistake, thinking it’s dill (one of my very favourite herbs). I was soooo upset every time :)<BR/><BR/>Gloria – yes, it was a lovely-smelling bread!<BR/><BR/>Ilva – I must try wholewheat next time!<BR/><BR/>Farmgirl Susan – I’ve got your tomato juice bread bookmarket – as many other of your bread recipes :) Hope your mum will like this!<BR/><BR/>Evelin – just nimelt! Meil on kodus nelja sorti köömneid hetkel – harilikud ‘eesti’ köömned (caraway), vürtsköömned (cumin), ristköömned (fennel) ja mustköömned (nigella).<BR/><BR/>SwirlingNotions – braised pork would be a great accompaniment! I think you could use whole wheat flower – maybe mixed with a quarter of white flour? If you do experiment, please report back.<BR/><BR/>Shaun - so it's called <I>anethole</I>? How interesting. If I had a good bakery just around the corner, I'd buy my bread from them as well, but sadly there's none in the neighbourhood, so I must bake my own:)Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-22518644531323210182007-11-22T00:51:00.000+02:002007-11-22T00:51:00.000+02:00Pille ~ I have a weakness for anything with the ar...Pille ~ I have a weakness for anything with the aromatic compound of anethole.

I love warm bread first thing in the morning, but when the kitchen is already warm on account of it being Summer, I don't bother making it and just go to the local bakery instead. I should try to make different breads, though. I have always meant to...(I am sure for us foodies there are many techniques and recipes we mean to try).Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345640038135299538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-81034456962062634172007-11-13T21:51:00.000+02:002007-11-13T21:51:00.000+02:00Yum, yum, yum . . . this makes me want to make som...Yum, yum, yum . . . this makes me want to make some braised pork to serve along side it.
