      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    2. Add lemon zest and sugar to TM bowl. Mill 10 sec / speed 9. Set aside.
    3. Weigh in milk, warm water and yeast. Heat 3 mins / 37 degrees / speed 1. Leave to proof in the TM bowl for 5-10 minutes until you can see it bubbling.
    4. Add flour, reserved lemon zest and sugar, salt, bread improver (if using) butter, egg, and spices. Mix 6 secs / speed 7. Then knead for 2 1/2 minutes. Whilst kneading, pour blueberries through the hole in the lid to combine.

  • Fluffiest buns I've ever made! These turned out...

    Fluffiest buns I've ever made! These turned out beautifully! Thank you for the great recipe. 😋

    (next time will add the blueberries towards the end of kneading as they all got smashed in the blades, add more lemon peel - even some lemon oil as I love it and dough seemed very sticky, had added extra flour, they still turned out well though!)
