It's Whinnie the Pooh. How did we get so lucky?

Another great recipe to try John, thanks for your video.

Now I know what tea and crumpets are.

I would like to nake these and take to work for lunch. Can you microwave them or would they spoil?

I made this recipe last night for my son and I. I have never been to the UK so I don’t have any experiences to compare mine to but I can imagine that this recipe is what someone would get in the UK. I followed every detail of the recipe. I even used a digital scale to get my measurements correct. I have eaten fish and chips here in the U.S., South America and Europe. This was the best fish and chips that I have ever eaten in my life! My oldest son told me that thisnwas his favorite as well. My youngest son, who doesn’t like fish, tried it and like it a lot. I used halibut and Russet potatoes. Absolutely incredible. Excellent video with proper instructions. I will be joining the Patreon. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What to substitute spelt/ rye flour?

Yummmmmmmmmm ❤❤❤

Are crumpets the same as English muffins?

Hi John, Kiwi here and I've been brought up on fish and chips. All through my childhood we usually had Fish and chips every Friday night, then as a uni student, at least once a week and so on ever after. Here the batter is the Intellectual Property and for each chip shop its their point of differentiation. Every suburb has a couple of shops and they are always extra generous on the chips so there is absolutely no need to cook at home. These days I live in Japan and although their Tempura is absolutely divine, they don't really get Fish and Chips. I'm definitely going to try this recipe at home. Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi John, I love your work and this is another stunner. I'm really interested in learning more about your oven / stove arrangement. It would be really great if you could share some details. Many thanks from Japan.

Is it Lactic acid that's released after the rising?

A pot of tea and homemade crumpets that Winnie the Pooh taught me to make. That's my Saturday sorted.

Love this video. Sounds like Winnie the Pooh . Love it

Congratulations, your new kitchen looks amazing.

When did Winnie the Pooh start cooking?????

Mega Awesome,

Add a pinch or two of baking soda to the meat and blend in during the frying. This will aid browning the meat and make it more tender. I know it sounds crazy. Don't overdo it - don't want to be tasting baking soda in every delicious bite!

Could you substitute 1/3 whole wheat flour to this recipe...??

Can't wait to try, thank you👍👍

This looks amazing, can't wait to try it. What size dutch oven are you using? Thanks.

It took me ages, and a lot of bad language to get the hang of making Sourdough bread. But John's recipes always work, and so it was with this one. But with these high hydration doughs, it can easily end up in a hell of a mess, and even wetting hands has still been difficult. But here's a tip..... I've found that if one wears a pair of disposable Vinyl gloves, it makes it so much easier without any need to wet or oil one's hands.

Can i use a sourdough starter?

Thank you ❤

I found that all the salt migrated to the buttermilk, didn’t realise this at first so increased the salt but now realise that I’ll have to add the salt before shaping next time. I also read a tip to swap the whisk attachment for the paddle attachment once the ‘peaks’ stage has been reached ❤

I love and follow all your recipes, you're bloody brilliant from Devine feeney Australia! 😁

Gosh these look delectable 😍🥰

Just gave this recipe a go and it is amazing! Thanks as always!

Those look amazing! My favourite crumpet topping is butter, real maple syrup and fresh strawberries.😊

Thanks for the recipe winnie!

Lovely. Perfect description of the process. All the detail in a friendly package. Thank you.

Add Red Leicester cheese or Branston Pickle

I'll have to give this a try. I've always par boiled in Garlic or Rosemary (and even Both) or even Chicken Stock or Corned Beef Stock, then used the roaster in the oven.

Definitely appreciate your furnishing measurements in g and ml. A big thank you indeed!!!

I made this recipe at home and it’s amazing my family loved it it’s impossible for them to go bad because of how quick they get eaten

That was a magnificent demo!✌🏼

Great recipe, John! I'll never buy white bread at the store again! Thanks so much!

I made these this morning and they were DELICIOUS!!!! I’m located in the US and they reminded me of a Thomas’s English Muffin but 100 times better.

I became a subscriber a few weeks ago, and really appreciate your do-it-yourself UK food videos (I have been living for the past 40 years in France and now Germany). Thankyou so much. But I have a special comment/request that may possibly concern your future air frier recipes, but which above all concerns your pork/beef/ chicken/etc pies. You comment that they are delicious with brown sauce : I assume you mean Daddies, HP standard, HP fruity, etc. But these are virtually unobtainable outside the UK, except through « specialist » importers at two or three times the normal price. Please, for your many subscribers outside of the UK, could you do us a make-your-own brown sauce video. Thankyou, and keep up the good work.

This bread loaf is to small first of all for my family, did not have that size pan and my mixer is an Anaskrum so to little dough to use dough hook. May it be doubled but still being very persicse with wt then baked in in 9x5 pan using the 3 rolls to fill the pan?

He is Winnie the Pooh...and I love his videos! ❤

What is strong white flour? I live in the US.

What!? No honey with your bread? Oh, bother…😉

Hi John! Great recipe can’t wait to try this, I loved your apple crumble recipe so i’m sure it will go down well with the family. I was wondering would you please do a recipe video for a school tray cake please (the vanilla sponge with icing a sprinkles) if you get a chance that is. I’ve tried a few different recipes and I haven’t liked them, they just aren’t like I remember, though it has been a good few years since school😂I know it should be simple but any help would be much appreciated. Thank you❤

Hi john, do you use the air fry function or bake/roast, please

I made this last week and what a success it was, absolutely scrumptious, I'm in the middle of making it again as it was so good. Thanks for this great recipe John! By the way your steak and kidney pie was also a hit with the family!

Marvellous effort, John thank you for posting🇬🇧👍😁🌻

Thank you. I enjoyed learning from your video -- fine instruction and good tips. Glad to find a whole wheat recipe. Your bread looks wonderful! Now to try it myself.

How long would you keep it the fridge for please? 😊

This looks amazing! I'm excited to give it a go. May I ask what size the Dutch oven should be?

My mouth is watering! Thank you for a simple and lovely bread recipe.
