The exciting thing about this recipe, for me, is that it allowed me to use some fresh yeast (ordered off eBay - of course...!) for the first time - having bought a block of 100g and frozen the rest in 7g portions, wraped in clingfilm, leaving me just 7g to use this week.
My 7 year-old delighted in helping, and it was easy enough for her to get involved. The only thing I would say is that I don't feel the loaf got as high a rise as I was expecting it too... that may be that I didn't knead it well enough, or that I didn't use quite enough yeast... but I suspect it was due to the tin I used as Dan stipulates a smaller one than the 2lb tin I had to hand. I will definitely give this another go as it looks, and smells, AMAZING... slightly sweet (due to the Maple syrup, probably!) and rich, due to the milk... just the thing for a Sunday breakfast :-)
