They filled up the holes and were level with the pan..I let them rise for about 35-40 minutes...grease it well so the don't stick to the top of the tin..

Thanks - standard bread dough I'm assuming?

We bought garlic bulbs a couple of years ago and they are thriving in the back garden, we let the flowers go to seed to get more bulbs.

Dog + garden + garlic = no garlic. And large quantities can be fatally toxic to our furry friends. I'd probably have to grow it indoors in a pot, preferably several feet in the air to keep it away from the cats too

I had fried homemade gnocchi and purple sprouting broccoli with tomatoes and homemade ricotta for dinner tonight. I don't know if the gnocchi turned out exactly how it should, but it was delicious and rather filling. I followed it with a few chocolates
