      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.

    Made this at my grandson's request. The bread is lovely, the recipe is a great base for various rolls, etc. This is not sweet at all. I made small rolls & added sultana to the middle with either a little jam on top or vanilla sugar. I also added seeds from 3 cardamon pods as suggested on another site. Thank you for posting this recipe.
