I can never decide if I should go for the head or the tail.<\/p>\n<p>I baked a massive loaf today (bottom right picture) but my family ate most of it, I only got two slices \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p># edit: By popular demand, I have added the recipe and instructions below:<\/p>\n<p>This recipe makes one big one, or you can divide it and make lots of little ones \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>400g All purpose flour (plain flour)<br \/>1 tbsp Quick active dry yeast<br \/>1 tbsp Sugar (this makes it quite sweet, reduce the sugar by half it you don\u2019t want it to be too sweet)<br \/>1 tsp Salt<br \/>80 ml Milk<br \/>1 Medium egg<br \/>120 ml Water<br \/>1 tbsp Butter or\u00a0margarine<br \/>Raisins\u00a0or sultanas for the eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1.Mix the yeast, sugar, salt and half of the flour in a bowl and put to one side.<br \/>2. Heat the milk, water and butter in a saucepan until the butter is fully melted, keep stirring whilst you are heating it.<br \/>3. Pour the liquids into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix in an egg.<br \/>4. Mix in the rest of the flour gradually until a firm ball of dough forms. (You may not need all the flour or you may need a little extra, just add enough for the dough to be firm and not sticky. I usually use my hands once I start adding the rest of the flour because I find it easier. If you use your hands make sure you have a bowl of warm clean water nearby to rinse them in or you\u2019ll end up with dough all over your kitchen and taps!)\u00a0<br \/>5. Sprinkle some flour on your work surface to stop the dough sticking, and knead it until it is firm and springy (This takes about 3-5 minutes).<br \/>6. Wrap the dough in\u00a0cling-film and set it aside for 15 minutes.<br \/>7. Line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.<br \/>8. Unwrap the dough and separate off parts of it and make a turtle shape on the baking tray (you can use my pictures for size reference, and I would\u00a0recommend\u00a0using a butter knife or\u00a0palette\u00a0knife to make the patterns on the shell. You need to cut them quite deep because the dough rises and puffs up in the oven).<br \/>9. Put the tray and turtle in a warm place and leave it to rise for 25 minutes (I have a 2 compartment oven so I usually put the bottom half on a low heat and leave the dough to rise in the top compartment without the heat on).<br \/>10. Take the turtle out of the warm place you left it (like it\u2019s been\u00a0hibernating\u00a0&gt;.&lt; ) and\u00a0<strong>re-cut<\/strong>\u00a0the markings on the shell and insert raisins or sultanas for the eyes. (You need to re-cut the markings to get the best effect after baking).<br \/>11. Heat the oven to 200 degrees\u00a0Celsius\u00a0(400 degrees\u00a0Fahrenheit).<br \/>12. Place the tray in the centre of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes (for the large turtle, about 10-15 if you are making a few little ones), or until it is golden brown all over.<br \/>13. Spend about half an hour agonising over whether or not to start cutting from the head or tail.<br \/>~ This is particularly good bread to have toasted with heaps of strawberry jam &lt;3<br \/>I hope you have fun!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Turtel breads! :O<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>TARTLE BARD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>sugarysnarks: cupcake-curiosities: I love making turtle bread, but it\u2019s always kind of sad when you have to cut it.
