Garlic and Coriander Butter Bread

"An interesting bread - more like a roll, really - that my daughter made yesterday. She made in in the "dough" cycle of the breadmaker - it proved far too wet and so we added more flour. The instructions are for hand made and I don't know if this will affect the wetness/dryness. The extra flour wasn't a problem. The salt isn't included in the dough making. This is the one change I would make - I'd add some salt to the dough as well as sprinkling sea salt on top. The breads are quite flat.BTW strong flour is the English name for bread flour. From a recipe card with no name on it."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Not much to tell! I'm a South African living in London, mother of four rangingfrom 25 to 9. I am desperately trying to get my children's stories published - anyone out there interested? Until my ship sails in, I cook, eat everything and anything, and then diet like mad. I love experimenting with new recipes and I absolutely hate spoilt kids who visit and say? "what is THIS?" and push it away without trying. My favourite cookbook is Mrs Beeton's family cookbook. 1994 edition.
