Hooray for the Hairy Bakers!

Hooray for the Hairy Bakers!

Hello people
I see the Hairy Bakers (aka the Hairy Bikers) starts tonight (BBC2, 8.30pm).

Anyone else going to be watching? OK so I do remember them boiling some poor crabs alive which made me rather sad and they seemed to relish it a little too much but I figure there's not a lot they can kill directly when they're baking!

Looks like there are only 4 episodes and tonight is all about bread which I am, frankly, rather excited about. I've always wanted to know how to make bread although I suspect that really I will be a cop out and use a breadmaker.

Anyone actually made their own bread from scratch? Is it as hard as they say? Is it even worth it!? From reading about tonight's episode they actually grind their own - seems a little excessive to me!

 I've discovered the Hairy Bikers/Bakers?! fairly late and am gutted to have missed their programmes- but I love that you can find load of their recipes on this site. I'm loving baking cakes at the moment- so these cakes are great for me. Also - is it wrong that also quitefancy one of them!?

Re: Hooray for the Hairy Bakers!

 Hehe! A bit wrong, but I do too!

I think they're both soo funny and brill at what they do!

I was surprised to catch them on the other night - they made a Wedding cake. Did you check out their recipe already?
