Great to include the butter feedback!
IMHO, butter/margarine can either add or subtract to/from the bakery food experience. Margarine isn't as tasty as the natural products. I've never been tempted to try the olive oil variations. Is anyone a fan?

I’ve had them used as shortening in pastry toppings. To my mind not a patch on butter; not “bad” but less tasty. It’s probably lurching more towards café commentary but stuff that should be fried in butter, should be fried in butter! Not a substitute. Mentioning in light of the crossover venues that serve breakfasts but are primarily a bakery.
And if I caught a bakery making croissants without real butter, I’d report them to the French Embassy. |

Margerine is utter garbage. I will use/eat butter every time over Margerine.

In saying that if you want to try it you can't go wrong with a Coles Olive oil spread. It is quite mild in taste. The only reason why you would use it is because of the health benefits. I personally am using Western Star Butter primarily because of my interests in buying mostly if not all 100% Australian made products and of course because of the salty goodness. Everything in moderation though, butter will clog up your arteries and you do have to exercise every day in order to be able to consume it on a semi-regular basis. I would never use butter as a lubricant in pan frying as its too fatty. I use a small amount of olive oil spray combined with mostly canola oil spray when I'm pan frying. Again Coles brand is good. Using extra virgin olive oil from La Espanola cans is a very strong taste and will make you throw up if you use it as a lubricant for pan frying. I'm currently interested in baking my own bread mainly because the boxes of gluten free bread bake mix are cheaper than the pre cooked bread. I require a strict gluten free diet.

At the risk of steering the thread onto a side quest... aren't the docs/medical scientists starting to question whether saturated fats do clog up arteries afterall? Didn't they recently find that calcium was the main thing in plaque? and that rates of heart disease increased (instead of decreasing) at the turn of history where they pushed fat-free/low-fat diets aside to make way for sugar?

Easiest pizza base dough recipe ever. This makes 2 - 3 large pizzas depending on how thin its rolled.
500ml of Greek yogurt, 3 cups of SR flour and a pinch of salt. Mix it with a wooden spoon until your wrist aches then turn it out onto a floured bench top and kneed it until its smooth. You may have to add more flour if it's too runny. It should take 4 to 5 minutes. You can then cut into sections and roll it out to roughly a round shape. Put plenty of oil on the pizza trays and bake for about 10 minutes at 200Deg. Take it out of the oven, add toppings and back to the oven until it resembles a cooked pizza. Time will vary depending on the amount of ingredients. Not strictly a bakery item but lots of bakeries sell mini pizzas etc.

I don't eat butter, margarine or anything similar very often. About the only time I do eat it is when I'm sick and I have olive oil spread with some Vegemite on toast.

Went to the Port Elliot Bakery today. As usual it was as busy as hell but well worth the wait. Just as I have explained earlier, busy bakeries are good bakeries.
I had a great chunky steak pie and epic sausage roll with dead orse. This place has a donut of the month which my daughter decided to have as dessert, see photo. I can't remember what flavor it was but it looks like extremely sweet and sickly. She took on the challenge and finished it with rave reviews. Go to the website for more information if you have an appetite for donuts.

I was thinking about this thread today. One neighbour, Chromie - a dinkum Aussie from Albury way, was having a trad barbecue, and another neighbour was baking some tasty pie or sausage rolls. Wouldn’t have eaten either, but gee it made me hungry!
TF100 - maybe you can explain the Launceston obsession with Krispy Kreme! |

They’re something that a certain number of people in Launceston fixated on. I’d leave see a number of people arriving with bags containing multiple boxes of the things! Dependably so; you could play “spot the Krispy Kremes” as people shuffled through the airport towards the exit.

I can’t remember a 7-11. The closest was probably Morty’s complex with servo as its centrepiece.

Well, taking it away from krispy kreme, but on the same vein as 90% sugar. A decent jam dougnut i do on occasion enjoy. There are 2 pretty average bakeries for pies in my area, but they do pastries and things of that nature quite well.

What do you reckon about the fat/oil donuts are cooked in? It’s something where traditionally I think it was beef tallow, right? Would suspect all but the “artisan” venues use a vegetable oil now.
