I have been using Linux Mint 11 KDE for the last 6 months as a true replacement for Windows.
Can’t wait to try this one out.
Can reside side by side with your Windblows or tun it from a Live DVD

  • Knead setting for 3 minutes
  • Empty onto a floured board or bench
  • Make into a ball no kneading is necessary at this point.
  • Place into oiled bowl rough side first then smooth side up
  • Cover with glad wrap and cover with a tea towel
  • Place in a warm place for approx 30 minutes. (on a stool near the oven works well)

  • Divide into two even pieces.
  • Gently knead out any air pockets, and roll into 2 even balls.
  • Place into oiled bread tin
  • Place in a warm place & allow to rise a second time for approx 15-25 minutes (Can be omitted if placing into a cold oven if you do this cooking time increases by around 15 minutes)
  • Spray with water and sprinkle with preferred seeds.
  • Lightly spray seeds again.
  • Cook for approx 25-35 minutes, depending on oven.
  • When golden brown remove from tin onto a cooling rack.
  • If bread sticks to tin wait 5 minutes for the tin to sweat.
  • Bread should release easily, if it doesn’t wait a little longer
    • Once you master the basic shape then why not try some different shaped loaves.
    • I have included some of these in the slide show.
